From the moment Jim Cassidy piloted strapping chestnut Kiwi for a last to first victory in the 1983 Melbourne Cup, racing folk knew a star had been born. In a career spanning five decades “Pumper”, as he is affectionately known, proved that he was one of a kind.
A sublime talent in the saddle, a larger than life character out of it, and a champion bloke to boot – a rare combination that catapulted Jim Cassidy to become not only one of the greatest jockeys of all time, but one of the most popular sportsmen of his era.
Jim Cassidy put an end to his wonderful career, fittingly, on the last day of the 2015 Melbourne Spring Carnival. He now wants to share the next chapter of his amazing life – the colourful stories, the larrikins, the laughs…‘Pumper’ plans to tell all from his lifetime in the racing industry; travelling around this great country and sharing a beer or two with the people that supported him throughout his career – the racing fans.
If you’re a follower of the sport, or just a lover of a great yarn, you now have the opportunity for one of the greatest jockeys who has ever lived to join you and speak at your event, function or conference. You’d certainly be in the company of one of the most beloved figures of modern Australian sport.
