Springbok Warren Wins NZ Championship

SAJA graduate enjoying a great run

Former SA Champion Jockey Warren ‘Wagga’ Kennedy has been named Jockey of the Year, after just his second season in New Zealand.

Kennedy made the brave decision to move his family to New Zealand in 2022 in his 40’s, and has been quick to make an impact.

Kennedy, 44, topped the NZ national premiership in 23-24 and was also the leading rider in terms of domestic stake earnings and black type wins.

His season included a memorable day at Pukekohe, on January 1, when he rode seven winners at one of the biggest meetings of the year.

Warren’s wife Barbara recently took out her trainer’s licence.

The Sporting Post was unable to reach Kennedy to find out whether he was a Bok or All Black supporter on Saturday evening.

The Enchanting Currency Of Fate

It is eerie to think that there would have been no Siren’s Call, Sound Of Warning, or for that matter Call To Unite, had fate not decreed that Enchanted Cove follow her dam to South Africa, and that Peter de Beyer had the foresight to return Elusive Fort back home from the States as well!
