Delighted to catch up with one of Australia’s most popular and consistent jockeys. He explains the origins of his famous nickname “Stubby”.
Jason talks of his recent winning run and the enjoyment he’s getting out of his riding at the moment.

The jockey looks back on his wins in the Goodwood Hcp and Adelaide Cup- the dream of every South australian jockey.
Jason talks of his Melbourne Cup placing. He says it was almost as good as a win.
“Stubby” pays tribute to Gold Guru and Umrum, two of his all time favourites.
He looks back on a four year stint in Queensland and his great association with the late Bruce McLachlan. He recalls the joy of a Magic Millions win, and the fall that almost certainly cost him Golden Slipper success.
