Caitlin McKee celebrated her first success in the saddle on Saturday in the most prestigious race of the Flair Amateur Rider Series, the New Zealand Hunts’ Association Duke Of Gloucester Cup (2100m).
“I’ve been retiring for a long time, pretty much every year, but Kevin keeps putting my name down in the book, so I keep turning up. But I do love it, and the moment I don’t, I’ll give it up.”
The Duke of Gloucester Cup (2100m) is a coveted race for New Zealand’s amateur riding ranks and Hamilton jockey Michelle Northcott was delighted to get her hands on the silverware at Trentham on Saturday.
