A Trackrider helps exercise a Racehorse by walking, trotting and galloping it under the instruction of the horse’s Trainer so it is at its optimum fitness to run in races. Trackriders are similar to Jockeys but they don’t ride in races and don’t have to be as light as a Jockey. Many Trackriders are employed by Trainers but equally, many are freelance and ride for a number of different Trainers each day.
There is a real need for Trackriders in Western Australia in both regional and metropolitan areas of the State, with many Trainers seeking people with riding experience to ride trackwork.
Formal Training: Traineeships in the Certificate III in Racing – Trackrider.
