South African jockey Sean
Cormack will be making a belated debut in Singapore on Friday.
The 39-year-old, currently licensed by the National Horse Racing Authority
of South Africa, was earlier granted a six-month licence to ride at Kranji
from March 1 but has only checked in this week.
Cormack has been nominated on two rides —
ANAVILA and LUCKY NINETY-NINE - on Friday and two more rides — DARMITA and
KINGTRAP — on Sunday.
A 20-year veteran of the saddle, Cormack has ridden in excess of 830
winners, including 24 “black type” victories of which two have been at Group
1 level.
He was the champion jockey of Kwazulu Natal in the 2005/06 season, finishing
14th in the overall South African premiership before finishing third and
tenth respectively the following season.
Six months in Australia followed for leading Brisbane trainer Bruce
McLachlan before a fall curtailed that stint.
Cormack has ridden for leading South African trainers including Basil
Marcus, Gary Alexander, Herman Brown and Paul Lafferty with success also for
Charles Laird and Glen Kotzen.
Besides South Africa and Australia, Cormack has also experienced racing in
Macau and Mauritius. He goes to scale at 53kg.  |
