The Paddock and The Pavilion - The Horse Racing and Cricket Podcast
Stephen Wallis
John Egan - What was it like to....win the Ebor on a 100/1 shot?
Episode Notes
In August 2006, York witnessed one of the most dramatic finishes in Ebor history. The 100/1 outsider Mudawin, dismissed by almost everyone, came with a late run to snatch victory in the Ebor Handicap, the world famous race first run in 1843.
For jockey John Egan, it was a remarkable win, and during this episode he reveals more about Mudawin, a horse he would go on to ride 14 times, winning four of them. For trainer Jane Chapple Hyam, then new to the training ranks and still actively training today, it was a breakthrough success that helped lay the foundations for a career that would one day reach Group 1 glory.
In this episode of The Paddock and The Pavilion, John looks back on that extraordinary day and explains why, at 57, he still has the hunger to ride and compete at the very top level.
