RIDER Cup teams

DELPECH





A veteran of the saddle, Delpech is stable jockey to the all-powerful Mike de Kock yard. He has racked up over 2700 winners since starting out in 1986 and in the 1998/99 season set the South African record for number of winners in a season with 336. In the 2002/3 season he won 292 races at a strike rate of 22%. He has ridden 47 Grade 1 winners and has won the Vodacom Durban July three times.

MARCUS




Marcus, still one of the hardest working jockeys in spite of his 30 years in the saddle, has ridden over 3400 winners in his career. He is currently on a Gr 1 roll having scored a double on July day booting home Seventh Plain and Same Jurisdiction to take his tally of Gr 1 winners to 81. He is retained by South Africa’s leading owners Ingrid and Markus Jooste and his services are in great demand when not pencilled in for a Jooste horse.

YENI





Yeni’s motto is “have saddle will travel”. Yeni has a riding schedule that would test even the most dedicated as he flits around the country in search of winners. This has paid off in that he has ridden over 100 winners in a season for the past five years. With two weeks of the current season still to run he is just 6 winners shy of breaking his personal record of 142.
