Star of the Week: Greg Cheyne
11 years 6 months ago
37 year old Gregory Michael Cheyne, or Greg as he is known to most, is a perfect example of the modern day, successful, jockey. After first laying the foundation for a great career in his home country Greg took the step to widen his horizons by heading overseas. This was after winning the 2009 Durban July on Big City Life and ensuring that his name would be well and truly remembered in South Africa. In Hong Kong, as a club jockey, he was not always on horses which were very competitive. Despite this, he managed to ride 38 winners including two Group 3 victories. His win on the ex-South African filly Sweet Sanette, in the Bauhinia Sprint in Hong Kong must rate as a highlight as she managed to beat the highly rated Sacred Kingdom in the process. Greg has finished as high as 3rd on the National jockeys log and has won the East Cape jockeys title on 3 occasions. Greg is now associated with the powerful Ramsden stable in Cape Town and is the stable jockey for top Port Elizabeth trainer Alan Greeff. With these two powerful trainers, amongst others, behind him he looks assured of riding many more winners.
