Kevin Darley
Kevin Darley is one of the few top current English jockeys in a sport which has become dominated by Irish riders. He reached the peak of his career by claiming the champion jockey title in the year 2000 with 155 wins, while title holder Kieren Fallon was out injured. Despite riding seven more winners in 2001, he had to settle for second behind Fallon. Darley was born in Staffordshire, served his apprenticeship with Reg Hollinshead and rode his first winner, Dust Up, at Haydock on his 17th birthday. He has clocked up most of his big race victories in recent years, with a French Derby win on Celtic Swing in 1995 among the highlights. His record at Royal Ascot had been relatively poor - just four winners before this year, including victory on And Beyond in last year's Queen's Vase. But Darley's luck turned at the 2002 meeting, picking up three winners with a final day double that included winning the Golden Jubilee Stakes on Malhub. |
