Declan Bates has forged a formidable partnership with Pride Of Jenni over the last 12 months, guiding her to three Group 1 wins. We headed to Ballarat to learn about his story and how the former Irish jumps jockey ended up in Australia. @decbates @cmaherracing @Tony_Ottobre

Devastating news, I never had the pleasure of meeting Stefano but we share a best mate in @EoinWalsh3 so I have heard many a story about him, and he was clearly an amazing person and talented rider. Condolences to his family and many friends around the world
