Brenton Avdulla

Age: 33

Background:
Brenton Avdulla was once a leading apprentice in Melbourne before a ‘chance’ phone call from Gai Waterhouse prompted his relocation to Sydney. Rising through the ranks he was crowned 2017/18 Sydney Champion Jockey. Avdulla’s biggest wins include a pair of Golden Slippers – Australia’s most-famous two-year-old race – aboard Estijaab (2018) and Fireburn (2022). Avdulla has won 13 Group 1 races, while his first came in 2010 aboard Secret Admirer in the Flight Stakes. Perhaps his most iconic top-level triumph was aboard 100/1 chance Lasqueti Spirit in the 2016 VRC Oaks, where Avdulla built an insurmountable mid-race lead at Flemington to pinch the contest in miraculous fashion. The Australian rider has formed strong partnerships with Chris Waller, Kris Lees and Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes in recent seasons, while in 2022 he made a successful return from serious neck injury. Avdulla secured three wins in his first stint in Hong Kong across the tail-end of the 2022/23 season, before returning for the 2023/24 campaign, amassing 33 wins. He achieved a pair of career highlights as a Hong Kong-based jockey in 2024, winning twice at Group 1 level with California Spangle in the Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup and Dubai’s Al Quoz Sprint. He also won a pair of Group 2 races, the Premier Bowl and Chairman’s Trophy, atop Sight Success and Beauty Joy, respectively.
