The Friday Show Presented By Monmouth Park: Kaymarie Kreidel Explains Role Of The Outrider

Kaymarie Kreidel, a former jockey who now serves as an outrider at Maryland Jockey Club tracks, was in the spotlight at the Preakness Stakes in 2019 when Bodexpress threw his jockey at the start and ran riderless around the racetrack. Kreidel snagged Bodexpress before he could do any harm to himself or others.

In this week's Friday Show in an interview recorded before Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike was taken out of consideration for the Preakness, Kreidel spoke with Ray Paulick and news editor Chelsea Hackbarth (who herself has worked as an outrider) about the role of the outrider, the kind of horses she looks for to partner with, the training that goes into transitioning the horses to the job, and the challenges and dangers that come with the profession.

Kreidel defended  Churchill Downs outrider Greg Blasi for his actions as the Derby winner was pulled up and became extremely aggressive, putting Blasi and Rich Strike in a dangerous position that he diffused without either getting seriously injured.

Persian Force Warms Up For Coventry Bid

Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-pedigreed horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Saturday's Observations features Persian Force (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}).

 

2.05 Navan, Mdn, €16,000, 2yo, 5f 162yT
BROADHURST (IRE) (No Nay Never) is the latest representative of Coolmore's red-hot sire to emerge from Ballydoyle, with the February-foaled bay having proved a €620,000 sensation at the Goffs Orby.

3.35 Newmarket, Novice, £10,000, 2yo, f, 6fT
DISTINGUISHED LADY (FR) (Zoustar {Aus}) is another Amo Racing notable as a 400,000gns Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up graduate entrusted to the capable hands of Richard Hannon and her early education will put her in good stead against a trio of future projects from Godolphin including Mawj (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}), a half-sister to last year's GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf hero Modern Games (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}).

PERSIAN FORCE (IRE) (Mehmas {Ire}) currently occupies favouritism in the ante-post market for Royal Ascot's G2 Coventry S., having blown away his rivals in Doncaster's Brocklesby in March.

Jockey Dylan Davis Rides 1,000th Career Winner

Jockey Dylan Davis reached 1,000 career victories with a late-rallying finish aboard the Christophe Clement-trained Heels Together (Hard Spun) in Friday's fifth race at Belmont Park.

“It feels great. Obviously, I couldn't have done this without the horses, my agent Mike Migliore, and my supporters–countless trainers and owners to get me here,” Davis said. “It feels really special. I love doing this and I love the game. I wasn't really keeping track of the number I was at,” Davis added, with a laugh.

The son of accomplished jockey and current NYRA circuit trainer Robbie Davis, Dylan Davis began his riding career in 2012 at Saratoga Race Course. In 2021, he amassed record earnings of $9,493,444 when he visited the winner's circle 130 times from 927 starts.

Davis' first Grade I triumph came aboard Mutamakina in the E.P. Taylor in Oct. 2021, also trained by Clement.

“Christophe is a trainer that really pushed me along through the tougher circuit here,” Davis said. “He gave me a lot of opportunities. What I needed is someone with the support like him to help get the job done.”

This year, Davis earned his first riding title when he posted 63 wins at the 2021-22 Aqueduct winter meet, finishing nine clear of Trevor McCarthy. The meet included three four-win days for Davis and victories in six stakes races for total purse earnings of $3,411,574.
