Australian Jockeys Riding in India and Malaysia

Of the  Australian jockeys  of the Indian Turf,  Barnett is the only one, who in recent  days had the rare fortune to  win distinction both at Epsom and Newmarket,  compelling  as he  did with such  able jockeys  as Donaghue and Carslake. His performance in this country has been such a success. He is attached to the well -known stable and well- known owner, Mr E .G. Langly, who it was said  that sent jockey  Barnett  to  England to ride for him. Judging from  the performance of  Barnett in  England as early  as May last, one may safely  project  Mr Langley’s  colour  is sure to  be conspicuous  during  the approaching season in Bombay.

A.C Walker  winner of  a few sensational  events  like the Australian Derby  is a  recent addition to  the list of Australian  jockeys in this country .He is  retained  to an Indian owner.  In September last, he won credibly the West Indian Derby running as he did a remarkable race and earning for his owners the richest stakes of the season.  Given equal opportunities, A. C. Walker can hold his own against any jockey here at present.
