Nicola Currie in the saddle.
Arran’s Nicola Currie, the champion jockey apprentice who is a household name in the horseracing world, has finished off her season on a high after competing at the prestigious Balmoral Handicap, the richest mile handicap in Europe, at the final flat meeting of the year at Ascot at the weekend.
Despite finishing sixth on strong contender Raising Sand, Nicola can add the race to her long list of competitive events and positions which all contribute to her moving towards becoming professional and reducing her stake claim.
