EXPERIENCE A HORSE RACE THROUGH A JOCKEY’S EYES

The Racing and Wagering Western Australia-commissioned, Hamilton Content Creators-produced Roma Cup video from the perspective of Patrick Carbery aboard Cup Night is the finest-ever example of what it is like to ride in a race.

On a day when the death of Mauritian jockey Nooresh Juglall as a result of his fall from Rule The Night at Champ de Mars highlighted the danger associated with thoroughbred racing, Scott Hamilton’s company captured captivating vision from a tiny camera attached to the helmet of Carbery, whose equine partner is owned by trainer Bernie Miller’s Belle Park and members of the Group One-winning hoop’s immediate family.

Cup Night and his fellow Roma Cup runners were galloping at more than 60 kilometres per hour and the video, the vision of which is crystal clear, demonstrates not only the bravery of the jockeys but also the care that each of them shows to their peers while they are racing in such close proximity.
