Mick Fitzgerald Biography

Mick Fitzgerald is one of the most popular and richest Jockey who was born on May 10, 1970 in Cork, County Cork, Ireland.

Mick Fitzgerald’s career lasted for over 15 years. After experience on the Pony racing circuit in Ireland he began riding out for Richard Lister, a local flat trainer in County Wexford, at the age of 16. This was followed by a move to the Curragh to ride out for John Hayden. Once he had left school at 18, a growth spurt led to an increase in weight forcing a switch to National Hunt racing. Fitzgerald’s first National Hunt yards were in South West England with John Jenkins and Richard Tucker. His first two winners came during this association at the end of 1988, the first being a horse called Lover’s Secret at Ludlow on 11 December. However it took until 1991/2 National Hunt season for Fitzgerald to obtain regular rides and winners. This was with Jackie Retter before he struck up a partnership with Ray Callow’s Duncan Idaho allowing him to showcase his skills. Looking back on the years between 1988 and 1991 he has confessed to almost giving up and moving to Australia.

Fitzgerald wrote an autobiography when he finished riding, called “Better Than Sex: my autobiography”. The title comes from Mick’s famous quote to Des Lynam live on the BBC after winning the 1996 National – “After that, Des, even sex is an anticlimax!”.
