PAUL ‘COUNTRY’ FRANCIS RELIVES HIS MANY YEARS AS A JOCKEY

Not many, whether inside or outside of local racing are aware that jockey Paul ‘Country’ Francis is close to achieving the significant milestone of 800 wins. Country goes about his work quietly, without any fuss, and is totally committed to the profession he has chosen. In this exclusive interview with Quickgallop.com and its RUclips Channel - The Quick Galloper, this quiet and unassuming lad from the country recounts his career in the pigskin from the time he started to now.

I remember his first winner, was an apprentice race his second ride for Noel Ennover. The first to ride a winner from his batch was The late Kemar Lynch, R.I.P. It was the first apprentice race for his batch. I beleive S Ellis and P Parchment also came from that batch.

[@KARLANGELL1]

Thanks

[@JockeyCwhite]

Kemar lynch and Phillip Parchment did come from that batch in 2002 it was 22 of them including the Great Dane Nelson but Shane Ellis came from The batch of 1996 one of the best batch of riders Caymans Park as ever seen : Wesley Henry, Leo Miller,Andrew Thomas,Richard Mitchell,Peter Bryan,Charlie Scott,Richie Reid,Robert Stewart,Wilbert Gobay,Chris Ferron,Anthony Baker,Chris Douglas,Gerry Baccas and Devon.A.Thomas.

Horse at 9:15 was bred by me AKASH OWNED BY LOIUS RICHARDS,who also trained my 2009 Jamaica Derby entrant MY SPACE (owner /breeder )who led for 5 furlongs by 10 lenghts and finished 6th under a poor ride and wrong equipment could have done much better

[@KARLANGELL1]

[@supremevibezradio7578]

Good jockey that is greatly underrated but capitalize on his chances to win most of his races. He possess powerful handling to put the horse in a good position to win.

[@KARLANGELL1]

Underrated for sure.

[@kevinlinton2281]
