Vagner Borges |
Age: 31 |
Background: Vagner Borges is one of South American horse racing’s brightest stars. A four-time champion jockey in his native Brazil, he partnered that country’s 12th Triple Crown winner, Bal A Bali, to his famous classic successes in the 2014 season. Borges was a phenomenon as an apprentice upon commencing his career in the 2009/10 season at Gavea in Rio de Janeiro. At the end of 2011 he collected his 374th success to set a new Brazilian record for the most wins by an apprentice, two months before he graduated to the fully-licensed ranks. He took his first jockeys’ championship in 2011/12 with a career-high 244 wins at a win strike rate of 20.75%. Borges maintained a win strike rate above 20% in each of his further three championship seasons, notching 212, 218 wins and 186 wins. He has accrued no less than 14 career G1 wins, his first being Sutil in the March 2013 Grande Premio Diana. The lightweight rider has more than 1600 career wins on the board. Borges secured his first Hong Kong win aboard Very Sweet Orange at Happy Valley on 18 March, 2020 and added 15 more wins that campaign. He amassed 22 wins in 2020/21, including his first Group race victory in Hong Kong in the G2 Sprint Cup atop Amazing Star. He rode 19 winners through season 2021/22. |
