Initially the licence type had been resisted, but Racing NSW Executive Mr Peter V’landys AM says the acceptance will allow jockeys/trainers to have a stronger career in racing.
Racing NSW determined that by allowing jockeys to transition into a training career whilst continuing to compete as a jockey, will provide a sustainable business model for these riders and allow them to continue to have a career within the racing industry.
- Mr Peter V’landys
Segments of the licence include a person may not hold a dual licence for more than 5 years, must not train more than 5 horses and must have more than 24 race rides each racing season, if a horse is entered in a race, a trainer/jockey may ride that horse but shall not be declared for, or ride, any other horse in that race.
For full terms and conditions of the LR56 are available on the Racing NSW website.
