Victorian jockey Ryan Maloney relocated to Brisbane just over a year ago, and the shift north has given him the chance to achieve a lifetime’s ambition with a horse he believes is the best he has ever ridden.
Maloney is convinced that Alligator Blood, a three-year-old gelding trained by David Vandyke, has all the tools to take him to the top and deliver the former Caulfield-based jockey his first career group 1, as well as big paydays in multi million-dollar races in summer and autumn.
“I think he’s certainly the best I have ridden now. He should be unbeaten,” said the jockey, and it is a big call given Maloney was associated early on with flying sprinter Nature Strip.
