Reigning champion apprentice jockey Tom Marquand has been announced as the new ambassador for the 2016 season at Goodwood Racecourse. Based with Classic-winning trainer - and Goodwood specialist - Richard Hannon, Marquands profile rocketed in 2015. In total, he rode 67 winners at a strike rate of 11% whilst accumulating over £450,000 in prize money.The jockeys remarkable achievements in 2015 did not go unnoticed outside of the sport as he was selected as one of three finalists for the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year, past winners including true sporting greats such as Wayne Rooney, Tom Daley and Andy Murray.Marquand spent the beginning of this year in Australia where he enjoyed a successful spell riding for David Hayes and Tom Dabernig, winning on his first start on board the Shadwell colt Tashbeeh. Further success came when he rode Tashbeeh to a second win at Flemington after a closely fought run-in with legendary Australian jockey Damien Oliver, leaving him with two wins from nine rides during his month abroad.Since returning to the UK, Marquand has been preparing for a big season ahead with the Hannon team at Manton House. Marquand, who still has 25 more winners to ride before losing his apprentices claim, said: Im unbelievably excited to be taking up this role with Goodwood. Its one of the most iconic courses in the country and is a real jockeys favourite.The Qatar Goodwood festival, with the Sussex and the Nassau, is an obvious stand-out of the calendar - but racing there is great throughout the year and I cant wait to get down there this season.
