One on One with Jockey Katie Davis
Jockey Katie Davis McCarthy, fresh off a great ride and win at Saratoga aboard Within View for trainer Rachel Sells at Saratoga, steps right into “The Rogues” Gallery for a One on One with Jon Stettin. The “Rogues Gallery” is invitation only so we know Katie must be doing something right. After all she is competing and “winning” at one of the most competitive race meets in the world, Saratoga, and amongst one of the strongest jockey colony’s anywhere.
Katie talks with Jon about race riding with the best: what it is like to be a female rider in The Sport of Kings, Thoroughbred Horse Racing what it was like growing up in a racing family and the daughter of a legendary jockey, Robbie Davis what it is like being married to a jockey and competing against them and her siblings, limited opportunities and how to make the most of them and so much more like; “The Head Bob” how do you win it? “Stewards, behind the scenes” Conflcits of Interest, who wins The Grade 1 All in the Family stakes?
Katie is not only excellent on a horse with a nice touch and great hands, but she has a lovely and engaging personality and we are thrilled she joined Jon in “The Rogues’ Gallery” and we think you will be too! Thank you for watching @PastTheWireTV Make sure to listen for Katies live mount in a Graded Stake this Saturday which could be her first Graded Stake win and also the 300th win of her career and counting.
