Meet one of the tallest, skinniest & most successful jockeys on the point-to-point circuit! Jack Andrews is a former national Men’s Champion jockey & has dedicated his life to pointing. Based at Tom & Gina Ellis Racing, Jack is also very hands on with producing young horses & stars of the future!
🏇What’s your favourite aspect of pointing?
The social side of it & having a laugh out the back of the cars after racing with everyone
🏇How did you get into pointing?
My family have always been heavily involved in pointing & I was carted to many meetings as a kid!
🏇How would you describe pointing to someone that’s never been before?
A fun day out with friends & family enjoying some quality racing in the countryside
🏇Pointing career highlight?
My 4 timer at Ampton last season!
🏇Pointing career aim?
To ride as many winners as possible & hopefully win another championship along the way, a Foxhunters would be nice too!
🏇Earliest pointing memory?
Montys Tag winning a John Corbett for Mum & Dad
🏇If you could change one thing in pointing what would it be?
I’d raise 4 year old weights so better riders would become available to ride them as 10.7 is too light. I’d also scrap novice riders races & give them a claim until they’ve ridden 10 winners.
🏇Favourite course?
Horseheath-I just think it’s the best track with some quality racing to go with it
Thanks Jack for catching up with us, hope you’re enjoying a few more wasting-free weeks! #PPORA #GoPointing
