In between rides around the world, Sydney rider squeezes in home rides and a wedding
-
SYDNEY - Riding at major carnivals around the globe is becoming second nature for Rachel King.
The Sydney-based jockey takes seven rides on the Spring Champion Stakes programme at Rand-wick on Oct 26 before jetting off for a history-making appearance at the Breeders' Cup in America.
King will become the first Australian resident to participate in one of world racing's most prominent events when she partners Satono Carnaval for Japanese trainer Noriyuki Hori in the Breeders' Cup Iuvenile Turf (1,600m) at Del Mar on Nov 1.
"I'm very excited to go over there and on a horse that is a good chance as well," said King.
"Mr Hori has travelled a number of horses over the years and has been very successful. His strike rate is unbelievable when he travels them. He trained Maurice and Real Impact, horses like that.
"He knows what he is doing and he doesn't travel them unless they're proper winning chances."
