Jockey & Trainer combinations and profile (Holly Watson)
Holly Watson began her career as an apprentice jockey in October 2020. She comes from a non-racing background but grew up and around horses, starting with pony club involvement. The 24-year-old, who was apprenticed to Simon Miller, rode 69 winners for the 2022-2023 season, including the Listed Sheila Gwynne Classic on Stellar Vista.
Another notable achievement was Holly's winning the inaugural Damien Oliver Award at the conclusion of the 2020-2023 season, which not only recognized her riding achievements but also her deep commitment to the broader aspects of thoroughbred racing and animal welfare generally. Previously she had won the Leading Apprentice title. Holly's philosophy: You couldnt be in racing if you didnt love animals because its your life and you have to be their carer. Its the top priority.
Holly is currently in the top-20 of the 2023-2024 W.A. Jockey Premiership on 44 wins, with a strike rate of 7.8%.
(Note: Holly is currently side-lined with a knee injury suffered in a recent barrier incident.)
The following table examines the jockey-trainer combinations under three conditions:
- When the horse is the Wrat 100 pointer and started at odds between $2.00 and $5.90
- When the horse runs as the race favourite at odds between $2.00 and $5.90
- When the horse starts at odds between $2.00 and $5.90
