Ronald Simpson has won the last six runners for Thompson Racing

Simpson has ridden the last six winners for Brett Thompson in only a matter of weeks, proving a decision made by both in April to be the right one.

Ronald, a natural with horses, has always found himself around them which saw him inevitably enter the racing industry as an apprentice around 14 years of age.

While he was working as an apprentice with Les Bridge in Sydney last year, homesickness got the better of the now 20-year-old which saw him move back to the West.

Not long after, Ronnie decided it was high time to seriously focus on his career as a jockey which led him Thompson's way.

"I got home sick and moved to Dubbo where my mum is, but I wanted to move from the partying so I rang up Brett and he gave me a go," Ronnie said.

"Just out of the blue I heard he was back in Dubbo and he just rang me up and asked for help to just get out of Dubbo and concentrate on his career," Brett said.

"I thought he would enjoy the environment out here, it's a very relaxed atmosphere. He doesn't have to just be focused on horses all the time out here, he can do other stuff he enjoys too. You've got to have your hobbies to keep your balance.

Having suffered a bad fall at Coonabarabran two years ago, Ronnie has only just begun race riding again.

When posed with the question - "what do you want out of life" - the Brewarrina local gave all the right answers, but Thompson said it's up to him to knuckle down with only so many claims left before he progresses to the senior rider level.

"He said he wanted to be successful in life, own a home and be happy and have a job that can pay for it all. I said that's the right answer but you're the only bloke that can do it," Thompson said.

"He's got to knuckle down and work hard, he's got to continue to work out even though he started off with a bang. He's got to be able to produce that every week, every time he goes to the race meetings he's got to be focused, he's got to try and ride at least one winner a week.

"As he rides better, he loses his claim. At the moment he is claiming three which makes it easier to win a race. But they have a claim for a reason.

"Everybody all knows Ronnie has talent but talent only gets you so far."

Simpson says the thing he 'probably' loves the most about being a jockey is the thrill from not only riding but taking the trophy.

"Winning is probably the most exciting thing, the adrenaline when they go past that post, the first fella past that post is just running with mad adrenaline," he said.

"When you get the instructions off the trainer you pretty much just think about what you're going to do, when you're in the barriers you're still thinking about them but when the barriers open up, anything can happen.

Simpson was graced with an unexpected phone call not too long ago about playing the roll of the late Darby McCarthy in an upcoming movie about the Indigenous Australian's role in the racing industry.

"I got the opportunity to play the role of Darby McCarthy in a movie, he was the first Aboriginal in the racing industry and probably one of the best jockeys," Ronnie said.

"I accepted. I think I'm playing the middle stage because they'll have the three stages of his life."

Thompson says his stable is in good form and he attributes that to the shape Simpson is in.

"Our horses are in good form and a lot of it comes down to Ronnie being in good form, we're putting him on everything and giving him a go," he said.

"Ronnie and I would like to thank the owners who have been giving us support, we really appreciate it."
