The Brand New Sponsors Of Top National Hunt Jockey – Brendan Powell Jnr

We are delighted to announce that Tipsters Empire are the new sponsors of top class jockey, Brendan Powell Jnr.

Over the next 12 months and possibly beyond, you will see Brendan sporting his equipment with our name on it, up and down the country at every racecourse you can imagine.

Brendan is, in our opinion, a top 5 UK Jumps Jockey who with every season that passes, just keeps getting better and better.

Last season he had over 60 winners and this season I am sure he will beat that tally, although in the question and answer below, you will see he is a really modest person.

It is an honour to be teaming up and sponsoring such a big jockey and we simply can’t wait to follow his progress over the next 12 months.

By landing such a big named Jockey means that our readers and email subscribers are going to get some fantastic blogs over the coming months.

Starting today with a Question and Answer, once the National Hunt Season starts he will be talking about his rides each Saturday and at Festivals, joining us on podcasts, talking about some nice prospects to watch out for and much much more.

We want to take this opportunity in wishing Brendan the very best for the upcoming National Hunt Season, which will be upon us before you know it.

Question and Answer with Brendan Powell Jnr

Hi Brendan, can you tell us a bit about yourself? How long have you been riding and how you got into Horse Racing and becoming a jockey?

I have been riding under rules for about 11 years now, and professionally for about 9 years. My father was a top national hunt jockey and my mother rode as an amateur. I grew up around horses and ponies and racing was something I always loved, I did a lot of Showjumping between the age of about 8 to 14 which taught me invaluable lessons about horsemanship, and then I moved onto pony racing, which was also a great help in my education.

Where are you based now as a jockey and how is that going?

I am based with Joe Tizzards stable and I predominantly ride for Joe. It is going great, I started out as a conditional with Joe and Colin Tizzard and they have been a massive help to my career right from am early stage.

What does your normal day look like?

My normal day usually is waking up between 5:00am – 6:00am depending on where I am riding out that morning, I then jump in the car and drive to the yard I am going to, often I school/jump anywhere between 1 to up to 10 horses in a morning, on the odd occasion it can be more, and ride work to get a feel of the horses that I will potentially be riding on the racecourse at a later date.

What are your strengths as a jockey?

I’m not really to sure, I hope I have a few but I don’t really think about them.

Weaknesses and things you are working on?

I try everyday to be better than yesterday, with racing you never stop learning.

If there is one race you could win, which would it be and why?

The usual ones are the Gold Cup or Grand National, but I would love to win a Champion Chase, I love riding a fast 2Mile Chaser and that would be a great thrill to win that race.

What is your favourite winner to date?

I got a real kick out of winning with Eldorado Allen in the Denman Chase at Newbury, The Conditonal at the Festival was quite a special winner for me also.

A winner that got away if you could ride the race again?

I try not to dwell on what could have been or a race that got away, I always try to keep looking forward.

Do you have a favourite horse?

Golden Chieftain was always a horse that I loved.

Your greatest sporting achievement?

Riding winners at the Cheltenham Festival is probably my greatest achievements.

Do you have a target number of winners this season?

I don’t set any targets for numbers of winners.

Finally can you give our readers a horse to follow this coming season or one to look out for?

Oscar Elite was unlucky a few times last season and goes into his second season over fences still a novice, there could be a nice pot to win with him this season.
