A Successful Start For Twin Brothers Charlie and Will Maggs
On 26th November 2024 we were delighted to see a piece in the
Racing Post about Will and Charlie Maggs, who are Conditional Jockeys based at
Donald McCain Racing.
Both Will and Charlie completed the Level 2 Equine Groom (Racing) through the National Horseracing College (NHC) in May 2024, and have tallied success since gaining their Conditional Jockey Licences at the NHC back in September 2022.
Charlie has secured 18 winners to date, with his most prolific winner being his first career winner as a Conditional Jockey, the Class 2 Scottish County Handicap Hurdle in 2023 aboard Collingham at Musselburgh Racecourse. Will has also achieved success on a racecourse, tallying a few more than his brother with 28 winners to date, and achieved a big milestone in May 2024 when riding out his 7lb claim at Market Rasen Racecourse.
Charlie and Will’s Roving Tutor, Heather Oliver, says “𝘉𝘰𝘵𝘩 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭-𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥, 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘢𝘥𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦.
