Evan has taken up the opportunity to manage Senior South Australian Jockey (and former Apprentice Jockey's Premiership Winner), Damien Robinson. Very uncanny to have the same surname!Damien is a very down to earth bloke, who works hard at his trade and is carving a niche for himself riding winners over in Adelaide.
Have you ever sat down and wondered what was a typical week for a Jockey? Up at 3am most mornings to do track work riding; eating and drinking very little (according to Damien, one meal a day which is dinner) to maintain their weight - not to mention the compulsory sweats and exercising.
It's certainly a hard life and I know that I wonder what drives them (apart naturally from the money that can be made) to continue on such a difficult road especially when race falls can be the normal part of their everyday existence.
I think, myself, that you would have to be a special person to have that sort of dedication.
If you would like to engage Damien at all, please dont hesitate to contact Evan on 0409 470392.
