Alexis Badel

Age: 34

Background:
Alexis Badel hails from a racing tradition, his mother being trainer Myriam Bollack-Badel and his father, former jockey Alain Badel. He was French Champion Apprentice in 2007 and broke into the top 10 in the championship in just his second year riding with 60 wins. Badel’s first Group race win came aboard Norse King in 2013, winning the G2 Prix du Conseil de Paris. He was appointed as the second retained rider for the Aga Khan behind Christophe Soumillon at the beginning of the 2015 racing season and went on to record his most successful season to date with 104 wins. That saw him obtain seventh position in the French Championship. He debuted at Sha Tin with two mounts on 11 December, 2016. His first Hong Kong winner was Supreme Profit on 27 December, 2016 and he ended that maiden two-month stint with seven wins. He returned in the 2017/18 season, landing 14 wins. Following his second campaign in Hong Kong, Badel returned for a third short-term stint and landed 26 wins. Badel’s best haul to date returned 58 wins in the 2020/21 season. In that campaign he scored a first Group 1 win in Hong Kong when partnering Wellington to land the Chairman’s Sprint Prize, while the first Group 1 of his career came aboard Nonza in the 2018 Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville. Badel’s most recent exploits include success in last season’s G3 Celebration Cup and G3 January Cup aboard Healthy Happy and Happy Together, respectively. He notched his 200th Hong Kong victory in July, 2023.
