Paul Mulrennan
Paul Mulrennan is an English flat racing jockey, whose biggest victories to date have been back to back wins on Mecca's Angel in the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes in 2015 and 2016. He also won six times on another sprinter Mabs Cross. Both were trained by Michael Dods. In his schooldays, he hoped for a career in Gaelic football, but his careers adviser suggested he was too short and should consider becoming a jockey instead.

His first big early successes came on the Mick Easterby-trained Gentleman's Deal, on whom he won the Ladybird Stakes, Group 3 Winter Derby and Quebec Stakes in 2007. Other big race victories then came on Dandino in the 2011 Jockey Club Stakes, Melody of Love in the 2012 Firth of Clyde Stakes and Moviesta in the 2013 King George Stakes, before his partnership with Mecca's Angel throughout 2015 and 2016 brought him the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes, Group 3 Prix de Saint-Georges, Group 3 Worl ...

Jockey
A jockey is someone who rides horses in horse racing or steeplechase racing, primarily as a profession. The word also applies to camel riders in camel racing. The word "jockey" originated from England and was used to describe the individual who rode horses in racing. They must be light, typically around a weight of 100-120 lb., and physically fit. They are typically self-employed and are paid a small fee from the horse trainer and a percentage of the horse's winnings. Jockeys are mainly male, though there are some well-known female jockeys too. The job has a very high risk of debilitating or life-threatening injuries. Etymology The word is by origin a diminutive of ''jock'', the Northern English or Scots colloquial equivalent of the first name ''John'', which is also used generically for "boy" or "fellow" (compare ''Jack'', ''Dick''), at least since 1529. A familiar instance of the use of the word as a name is in "Jockey of Norfolk" in Shakespeare's ''Richard III''. v. 3, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
