Pembrokeshire born Sean Bowen rode his 1,000th career winner in February in a humble Fakenham bumper on the Olly Murphy-trained Kefir D’Oudairies. The landmark has taken just over eleven years, his first winner being in December 2013. The thousand includes one in Ireland and two flat races. At the time of writing, he’s 24 ahead of Harry Skelton in the battle for this year’s Jump Jockeys’ Championship. Success would make him the first Welsh-born champion since Dick Francis 71 years ago.
