King Of Steel, whom Roger Varian trained and Frankie Dettori rode to a remarkable win in the QIPCO Champion Stakes at Ascot in October, will be the flagship horse Egan gets to ride.<\/p>\n<p>Joorabchian, who is fiercely ambitious, is adamant this new alliance will be successful. Kevin Stott, Amo\u2019s last retained rider, left his role in August. \u2018I am very pleased to announce David as our first jockey,\u2019 said Joorabchian. \u2018We\u2019ve had a brilliant relationship over the years and used David consistently on our horses. It\u2019s the perfect time to consolidate our team and having David on board will be a valuable addition.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018David is a talented, ambitious jockey with experience at the top of the sport having won races of the highest calibre all over the world. Growing up as Roger Varian\u2019s stable jockey has given him invaluable experience and maturity. I have tremendous confidence in this decision.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/15\/22\/79022565-0-image-a-49_1702678841610.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>David Egan has signed a two-year deal to become first jockey for Kia Joorabchian&#8217;s Amo Racing<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Having David on board for the next two years will help us develop long-term stability as a team. I\u2019d also like to thank Roger Varian for his tremendous support in this decision.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Egan, whose Classic successes have come via the Varian-trained Eldar Eldarov in the 2022 St Leger and the 2023 Irish St Leger, added: \u2018I\u2019m excited about this challenge.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/racing\/article-12870269\/David-Egan-signs-two-year-deal-jockey-Amo-Racing.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Egan signs two-year deal to become first jockey for Amo Racing as the 24-year-old prospect insists he&#8217;s &#8216;excited about [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":300666,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
