Looks like Zackey is joining Kennedy in New Zealand 🇳🇿
South African Jockeys to boost New Zealand riding ranks
“In response to the shortage of senior jockeys in New Zealand, Byerley Park founder and Director Daniel Nakhle has engaged the services and expertise of current South African Champion Jockey Warren Kennedy and former South African Champion Apprentice Craig Zackey.
Kennedy comes with an impressive CV, having won the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 championships by a staggering 63 winners. In addition, he has had seven Group One winners, 19 Group Two winners and 16 Group Three winners.
Arriving this week, the charismatic 42-year-old is excited to make the move to New Zealand along with wife Barbara and daughters Jamie Lee (3) and Ryleigh (1) and looks forward to the wholesome family lifestyle that New Zealand has to offer.“
Not surprising at all for anyone with the opportunity and a young family. There has been a skills drain for the last 10 years and an investment drain following the July unrest.
