Rousset Stable signs top-jockey Shane Dye

The colours of Rousset Stable will be defended by top jockey Raymond Shane Dye who is well-known internationally.

He has a remarkable career: champion apprentice jockey in New Zealand, and, moving to Australia in the late-1980s, he quickly established himself as one of the country's best riders.

He gained national prominence with his win on Tawrrific in the 1989 Melbourne Cup, and won the Golden Slipper four years in a row from 1989 to 1992 on Courtza, Canny Lad, Tierce, and Burst.

He remains one of the most prolific winner on Australian

racetracks. The jockey has also ridden in Hong Kong. He is expected at the end of this month.

He will have to have improved on the last 48 months. Won't carry my money.
