Andrea Atzeni

Age: 33

Background:
Hailing from the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, Andrea Atzeni, who previously rode in Hong Kong during the 2014/15 season, is a Group 1 winning rider in seven different countries. He has amassed more than 1,200 wins. Commencing riding in Italy, Atzeni has enjoyed his greatest success so far in Great Britain with Roger Varian’s stable as the trainer’s first elect, a position he assumed in 2013. A string of top-level successes quickly followed the 32-year-old in Newmarket, including four consecutive Futurity Trophy wins aboard Kingston Hill (2013), Elm Park (2014), Marcel (2015) and Rivet (2016). Atzeni rode Stradivarius to successive wins in the Goodwood Cup (2017 & 2018). He also formed a strong partnership trainer Luca Cumani early on in his career in Great Britain, partnering Postponed, Great Britain’s highest-rated horse in 2016, to win four Group 1 races in Great Britain and the United Arab Emirates. Atzeni has two British Classic wins, landing the St. Leger Stakes twice with Kingston Hill (2014) and Simple Verse (2015). He enjoyed a fruitful 2023/24 Hong Kong season with 48 wins, striking twice at Group 3 level with Taj Dragon in the Chinese Club Challenge Cup and Nimble Nimbus in the Centenary Vase. He finished fourth in the jockeys’ championship.
