Harden’s favourite jockey Nick Heywood will be hoping to cap off a 21st birthday with some winning rides at Randwick on Saturday.
Heywood will celebrate his 21st birthday with 4 rides. 3 will be for his stable trainers Peter and Paul Snowden with another for Jay Hopkins.
Race 4 # 1 Gold Torque, Race 5 # 2 Burning Energy, Race 8 # 4 Got Unders and Race 9 # 4 Suspense.
Heywood has been in top form in 2017 with 5 wins and 6 placings across 8 meetings in both regional and metro tracks over the last 3 weeks.
Heywood’s Grandfather Duke Heywood rang to wish his Grandson a happy birthday today only to be told by the young hoop he was a day early.
Nick’s father, trainer Chris will be trackside to celebrate his son’s 21st with a large contingent of family and friends. Chris will be trying his luck with 6 year old gelding Mitchell Road later on tonight at 8.45pm. Mitchell Road will be running in the 1250 metre Schweppes Handicap. With 4 scratchings and a soft 5 rating, the Magnus sired gelding will be a good chance.
Happy Birthday Nicko.
