Ryan Plumb |
|
Australian apprentice jockey Ryan Plumb has
been granted a one-month visiting jockey’s licence by the Singapore Turf
Club from Feb 1. He will be indentured to trainer Steven Burridge.
Although only 17, Plumb has successfully ridden in all three Eastern states
in Australia, winning the North Queensland apprentice premiership in
2005/06. His high work rate earned him the record of being the youngest
Queensland apprentice to clock up 1,000 rides.
Plumb, who is the son of Brisbane jockey-turned-trainer Lyle Plumb, is
currently licensed by Queensland Racing. Although he has travelled to other
countries to gain insight into their racing industry, Singapore will be his
first overseas race-riding experience. In 2004, he spent six months at
leading trainer Criquette Head’s yard in Chantilly, France, and rode
trackwork daily for six weeks at the Grandstand Stables in Dubai.
Plumb goes to scale at 50kgs.  |
