Best of Noel Callow – let me entertain you

Larrikin jockey Noel (King) Callow has been entertaining racing fans in and out of the saddle since 1990 having had his first race start aboard Count Cardinal.

The 45-year-old started his riding career in Australia and has honed his skills abroad with riding contracts in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Macau and Mauritius.

Callow has ridden five Group 1 winners and 63 Group 2, 3 and Listed winners throughout his career, with arguably his most famous victories coming aboard Apache Cat (2006 Australian Guineas) and Benicio (2005 Victoria Derby).

Here are some highlights from the ‘King’
