Renee Forrest Transfers

Apprentice jockey Renee Forrest has transferred to Simon Miller in the last weeks of her apprenticeship.

Forrest parted company with David Harrison, amicably, and will become a fully fledged jockey on August 1.

“David and Jenny were like family to me and I have enjoyed my association with them over the last six years,”Forrest said.

Forrest made the move to be more available to other trainers for trackwork as Harrison has his own private track at Serpentine and his horses do not need to come to Ascot and Belmont for work.

She will still be riding for her old master in the future and is excited at new prospects with Miller.

Miller said, “Renee has a great work ethic and I will try to give her rides in the remainder of her apprenticeship and beyond.”

Forrest is currently a 2kg claiming apprentice and has ridden 31 winners in the 2014/15 season at metropolitan and provincial racecourses.

Overall she had 120 winners in her 1936 career rides.
