McEvoy thrilled to be back at Ascot for Shergar Cup rides
‘If you can get to Ascot and have a couple of rides, it’s always exciting’.
Kerrin McEvoy is relishing the opportunity to return to Ascot as part of the Rest of the World team in Saturday’s Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup. The Australian is no stranger to riding on British turf, of course, having spent five years as Godolphin’s number two rider on these shores. During that period McEvoy rode 10 Group One winners in Europe, including a Classic success aboard Rule Of Law in the 2004 St Leger at Doncaster. Appearances in Britain have been relatively infrequent since returning to his homeland, but he is delighted to be making his third appearance in this weekend’s midsummer team competition.Astonishing!!
