Welcome back Will

19-10-2010

Congratulations to Will Biddick on a winning return to the amateur ranks at Exeter today where he won the opener, the amateur riders novice hurdle, for Paul Nicholls on Garton King.

This is a timely reminder to all amateur jockeys considering turning professional that 25 is the number to remember!!

The current Rules of Racing state that conditionals/apprentices cannot revert back to amateur status if:

• more than 25 wins achieved as a professional
• aged 26 or over (being classified as a full professional jockey on 26th birthday regardless of number of wins and/or rides (if any))
