Jenkins to ride Doctor Sam
PA Wellington The top jumps jockey, Stephen Jenkins, will ride Doctor Sam in the Tanalith Northern Hurdles at Ellerslie today. Jenkins had to decide this week whether to ride Doctor Sam or his stablemate, Gun for Fun. He won the Allegra Park (Waikato) Hurdles on Doctor Sam two weeks
ago and confirmed yesterday that he would ride that horse in today’s race.
Jenkins, who has won the Northern twice before on Outright and Mr Hickey, said the decision had been the hardest of his career.
Kim Treweek will take the mount on Gun for Fun.
