Trainer & Jockey combinations and profile (Cody Morgan)
Cody Morgan is based at Tamworth racecourse where he has 50 boxes, as well as having 12 on a private 25-acre property some 10 minutes from the track. He comes from a family with a strong background in equestrian sports, with both his father and brother prominent on the rodeo circuit. He began his jockey apprenticeship with Craig Martin for whom he rode his first winner in 2001. Subsequently, he continued his career with Tony McEvoy at Lindsay Park. However, rising weight resulted in Codys decision to turn his hand to training, gaining his licence in 2008.
The low point in Cody's training career came in 2013 when he faced serious allegations related to the administration of a "milkshake" to a runner prior to a race. Following this incident, Morgan's training license was suspended for two years. However, he was later re-licensed and returned to training.
Cody has a close association with jockey Aaron Bullock who rode the first horse he trained to win a race; that was in 2008. The continuing record of success of this combination is clear from the stats below. Cody, himself, currently ranks 4th in the NSW Country Tainer Premiership on 48 wins, and with a strike rate of 20.6% which is 3rd best of the top 20 trainers in the Country Premiership.
The following table examines trainer-jockey 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
