Profile of Jake Payne - Apprentice Jockey


Jake Payne

Overview

Jake Payne has just turned 20 years of age, but is a very experienced horseman with several years of showjumping riding experience behind him. With 2 years of work riding in various racing yards and 38 flat rides, Jake has now hit the winning trail three times!

An impressive 1 length win on Caustic Wit to open his account.

Two recent wins on Lordship (a 2 lengths winner at Chepstow
- click here to watch Jake's latest victory) for Tony Carroll and several placed efforts give Jake impressive stats for the 2009 turf season.

See picture of Jake (right) receiving the Betfair trophy at Chepstow.

Jake is currently apprenticed to Malcolm Saunders and has an impressive 12% strike rate so far this 2009 season. With no weight problem (Jake can easily do 8st 0lb and 7st 11lb with notice) Jake can take a useful 7lb off your handicapper. Jake is great value in 10 and 25 winner apprentice races, where currently on 3 winners, he gets a more than useful claim against less experienced rivals.

Ayr win

Jake claimed the rail as his own and came out an impreesive 3 lengths winner - see Lordship by a country mile (pic below)
