Meech to represent Australia in MoroccoMelbourne jockey https://www.racing.com/jockeys/linda-meech" rel="nofollow - Linda Meech is due to represent Australia in Morocco on Friday night in the seventh leg of the Mubarak Ladies World Championship. Meech will compete against 10 riders from all over Europe and from Canada at the Anfa Racecourse in Casablanca. The 35-year-old earned her call-up on the back of a brilliant season as she currently sits seventh on the jockeys’ list for Victorian winners with a tally of 75. She has ridden some 1240 winners in her career, which is highlighted by her 2015 Group 1 win on https://www.racing.com/horses/plucky-belle-2008" rel="nofollow - Plucky Belle in the https://www.racing.com/form/2015-03-14/rosehill-gardens/race/7/results" rel="nofollow - Coolmore Classic . “I cannot wait to ride in the Arabian race and be part of the HH Sheikha Fatima Ladies World Championship (IFAHR) in Casablanca,” Meech said. “I am eager to see and explore Morocco as it appears to be a very beautiful country.” Meech travelled to Morocco on behalf of the HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Global Arabian Horse Flat Racing Festival. |

Agree. IMO this season is not a large enough sample size to determine her standing though. If you look at her career strike rate, it's 13%. The likes of Bowman, McDonald, Pike & Oliver run at 17%. Meech got to ride a lot of Moody's in the country in recent years. A comparable is possibly Rawiller with Weir. Both were/are dominant trainers. Rawiller's strike rate is 17%. I have her a rung below the very top riders, but certainly wouldn't be jumping off a horse I liked if she was aboard.

Agree James. After a win and short head second from 2 rides on one I'm involved in she gets replaced by a male jockey. As she was still riding at the same meeting it made zero sense to me. However when you own a share in a multi syndicated horse you just have to cop it. Can only assume the trainer made the decision. ------------- It's only called gambling when you lose |

The failure of Victoria and NSW racing authorities to see eye-to-eye regarding jockeys who hold a licence to both ride and train in Victoria has taken another scalp. Linda Meech is one of a handful of jockeys who has been permitted to start training racehorses in Victoria, but the second-best jockey in the state - with 84 winners, behind Dean Yendall (94) - is not permitted to ride in New South Wales due to their stance on dual licence holders. That means Meech, who has the sixth-highest winner count of any jockey Australia-wide this season, will not be able to keep the ride on the Peter Morgan-trained Sircconi, who is bound for the Inglis Sires' (1400m) worth $1 million at Randwick on April 1. Meech - who has ridden Sircconi in all three career starts including a groundbreaking win in the Group 2 VRC Sires' (1400m) at Flemington in March - said while it was disappointing not to be able to keep the ride, she had made her bed with the rule early doors. "I knew it was a chance of happening when I took out my trainer's licence. It's a bit disappointing, but nothing you can do about it," Meech said. "Not that I know of [the rule will change soon]. When one door closes, another one opens. "I was lucky enough to pick up a ride on one of Lloyd Williams' horses [at Bendigo Saturday-week], so Sircconi helped me pick up something new, so you just work with what you've got. "I can't go to Sydney, so I make the most of what I can get here in Victoria." |

RVL could counter the stupidity with temporary suspension or disqualification... find some sort of loophole that allows them to keep riding and, come Monday, reinstate the training license. Rat cunning is the only counter to institutional stupidity. |

Just because he wins a hurdle, that does not make him a hurdler. Saintly and Might And Power won a Melbourne Cup and I have not met anyone who would claim they are genuine 3200m horses! Northerly won a Caulfield Cup, but he was a middle distance galloper. One of my favourite 3yo fillies, Grand Archway, won the Australia Stakes fresh from the VRC Oaks, but no one would claim she was a genuine group 1, 1200m horse. Like A Carousel was the best weighted horse in that race today, because there is not much between hi and De Little Engine in ability, the only difference is that DLE is a bit more consistent. Nice effort all round with LAC today ------------- Remember, it might take intelligence to be smart , but it takes experience to be wise |

Kilmore Race 6 January 7 |
Posted By: Magnolian Khan
Date Posted: 20 Jan 2018 at 2:50pm
|
Victoria’s leading jockey Linda Meech has been suspended for 23 meetings after Racing Victoria stewards found her guilty of improper riding at Kilmore earlier in the month. Stewards found that, approaching the 100m in the Bet365 BM78 Handicap (1200m) on January 8th, Meech (riding As Bad As Tyson) altered her whip action by reaching out with her left arm to use her whip in a manner that struck apprentice Stephen Brown (Kievann). The inquiry had initially been adjourned to allow Meech time to tender evidence to support her case. In assessing the penalty, stewards took into account her excellent 20-year record, the low impact of the incident and the fact her actions did not affect the results of the race. Kievann finished third in the race won by Star Stealer while As Bad As Tyson ran unplaced. The Group 1-winning jockey, who has ridden 54 winners this season to lead the state premiership, can return to the track on Wednesday, February 14th. |

Victoria’s leading jockey Linda Meech is expected to miss a month of riding after suffering injuries in a race fall at Geelong on Wednesday. Meech partnered La Lova in a benchmark 70 handicap and was unseated at the start of the 1100-metre contest when her mount knuckled upon exiting the barriers. The 38-year-old was taken to hospital where scans revealed she sustained a fractured collarbone in the incident. Medical advice suggests that no surgery will be required. Meech has enjoyed one of her best seasons, riding 116 winners during 2018/19. She's ridden 127 winners during each of the past two seasons and may still pass that mark before the end of July. Meech also leads this season's Victorian jockeys’ premiership with 114 wins and her strike rate of 17.8 per cent is the highest of all top-20 riders across the state. She is positioned 11th in the Melbourne jockeys’ premiership with 20 victories registered since August. |

Linda Meech back riding at Horsham jumpouts after birth of her sonLinda Meech was back riding at the jumpouts since the birth of her some but her return to the racing circuit is less certain. Popular Victorian jockey Linda Meech was back riding at the jumpouts on Monday but punters might need to wait a while longer to see Meech back at the races. Meech has not ridden since April last year after https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/superracing/jockey-linda-meech-now-a-mum-after-the-birth-of-son-anthony/news-story/bdf5e1ffaa0082f524e6021f08783f54" rel="nofollow - taking time off for the birth of her son . Meech also holds a trainers licence. She rode one of her charges at Mondays Horsham jumpouts and another two-year-old for her partner Mark Pegus. Ive got one in work so I just trialled him, Meech said. It was my first jumpout and I did one for Mark Pegus as well. They were just little babies having look around the track. Meech has ridden more than 1700 winners but the 40-year-old was unsure when, or if, she would return to the races. She said she had been building fitness riding trackwork in recent weeks but had no concrete plans. I dont really know what Im doing. I wont be doing anything exciting and see what happens, Meech said. Ive been back riding work for about a month or maybe more so I was fit enough (to ride in jumpouts). Im not sure if Ill go back race riding or not. I might ride one here or there but Im not in a big rush. ------------- Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing |

Star jockey Linda Meech looks set to return to race riding on Saturday. Meech, who hasn't ridden since April 12, 2020, has been booked to ride Costa Maya at Warracknabeal for partner Mark Pegus. After telling Racing.com in September last year that she had planned to return to the saddle at some stage in 2021, Meech and Pegus welcomed a son, Anthony Wilbur Pegus, on January 19. Meech, who also holds a trainer's licence, was spotted back in the saddle at Horsham on May 3, where she was riding at the jumpouts for herself and Pegus. A multiple Group 1 winner, Meech became the first female to win the Victorian Jockeys' Premiership in 2019. Pegus, himself a G1-winning jockey, trains a small team from the pair's Stawell base. Costa Maya has drawn barrier 10 in Race 5 for Meech. ------------- Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing |

New mother Linda Meech admits she's enjoying being back in the saddle, but don't expect her to be back riding as many as she used to. The Group 1-winning hoop rode her first winner back at Edenhope aboard Last Week in the Apsley Cup on Sunday, almost five months after giving birth to son Anthony. It didn't take Meech long to score a winner, saluting at just her sixth race ride since returning. Her first ride was for her partner, Anthony's dad Mark Pegus. The 40-year-old said she is enjoying motherhood. "He's a good little baby, so we are a bit lucky," Meech told RSN927. "He's pretty good (sleeping), most of the time he sleeps well, he might wake up once or twice during that night but that's it. Sometimes he will sleep right through, which is pretty good." Meech said while she's back riding, she won't be hunting for a full book any time soon. "I won't be getting anywhere near as busy as I was before I had the baby," she said. "I will just see how it works." ------------- Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing |

How good is this rider? Mature age, has a child and about 18 months off, riding as good as ever with two wins today including a Stakes success to match another one just last Saturday.
