Top jockey Kevin Stott hoping to reignite his UK career after return from New Zealand following tough 18 months
KEVIN STOTT is hoping to announce his return to the UK with a bang at Doncaster.
The former Amo Racing No1 rides Naepoint in the Spring Mile on Saturday having spent the last six months in New Zealand after a rough first season as a freelance.
He enjoyed plenty of highs in 2023, when he won a hatful of big races as Kia Joorabchian’s retained jockey, but was sacked in September of that year and split with girlfriend Megan Nicholls around the same time.
Denmark native Stott decided to go freelance for the first time but rode just 30 winners last term, his lowest tally in nine years.
