Jim Crowley (jockey)

Jim Crowley (born 14 July 1978)[1] is an English jockey who was British flat racing Champion Jockey in 2016. He has ridden as first jockey for Hamdan Al-Maktoum's Shadwell racing operation since 2016.

Background

Crowley was born in Ascot and as a child competed in pony racing, including the Shetland Pony Grand National at the London International Horse Show.[2] He rode as an amateur flat race jockey before switching to National Hunt racing, riding for the stable of Sue Smith in West Yorkshire.[3]

Career on the flat

Having ridden approximately 300 winners over jumps, Crowley returned to flat racing when he was 27, riding for his sister-in-law, Amanda Perrett at Pulborough. In 2010 he became stable jockey for Ralph Beckett.[3] His first Group win came in October 2006 when he rode Hawridge Prince to victory for Rod Millman in the Group 3 Jockey Club Cup at Newmarket.[4] His first Group 1 was with the Karl Burke-trained Lord Shanakill in the 2009 Prix Jean Prat at Chantilly in France.[4] Crowley won the British Champion Jockeys title in 2016, beating the 2015 champion, Silvestre de Sousa, into second place and breaking the record for most winners ridden in a month with 46 victories in September.[3] In November 2016 Jim Crowley was announced as the new number one jockey to leading owner Hamdan al-Maktoum's Shadwell racing operation.[5] His retainer brought him more Group 1 victories and increased prize money at the expense of chasing winners for a second champion jockey title. Shadwell Group 1 winners included the sprinter Battaash, Hukum and Baaeed.[4] Crowley's winning ride on Hukum in the Group 1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot in July 2023 proved controversial as the jockey was banned for 20 days and fined £10,000 under the new whip rules for having used his whip nine times during the race, three times over the six allowed.[6]

Personal life

Crowley is married to Lucinda Harwood, daughter of former trainer Guy Harwood, and has two daughters and a son. He lives in West Sussex.[3]
