Episode 190: Tegan Harrison
This is a light hearted chat with a vivacious young lady who has strong support from owners and trainers in NSW and Queensland. Tegan has been out of action for almost five months following the worst fall of her ten year career.
Tegan pays special tribute to her jockey/mother who rode many winners on the NSW Northern Rivers under the name of Bev Want. She thinks it’s pretty special that she was going around in races before her Mum realised she was in the early stages of pregnancy.
Tegan acknowledges the efforts of her father Andrew, a versatile jack of all trades who’s always first there to help his daughter out when things need fixing.
The jockey reflects on her childhood involvement with Grafton Pony Club, and a transition to the re educating of retired racehorses. She admits she didn’t like the thoroughbreds at first.
Tegan looks back on her apprenticeship to Bruce Hill on the Gold Coast, and her disastrous first race ride- one she’d rather forget.
She recalls her early education at Julia Creek in the Queensland outback, a special winning ride at Goondiwindi and her very first city success.
Tegan still can’t believe that Tony Gollan gave her the prized ride on Temple Of Boom in a Stradbroke and a Doomben $10,000- she finished a close second in both races.
She profiles some of the horses who’ve helped her profile in the last few years.
Tegan talks of life on the Gold Coast with her partner Ben Hull, former successful jockey and currently making a name for himself as a trainer. She confirms that Ben gave her a sparkling engagement ring just recently.
