Continuing the Stobart Group fleet of trucks celebrating the
achievements of Championship Jockeys in the world of Great British
Racing, it's the turn of Irish-born Graham Lee to be in the spotlight.
Born in 1975, he was the main stable jockey for trainer John Howard
Johnson before going on to work for Ferdy Murphy, where he was also
deputy trainer. A successful jockey in both Great Britain and Ireland,
notable events in his career include being only the fourth National Hunt
jockey to be placed in the first two positions in the National Hunt
Jockey Championship in ten years. He also rode his 1000th career winner
in January 2012. Following a series of serious injuries however, he
announced in 2012 that he would be switching to flat racing where he has
been equally successful.
Our Stobart Group truck in their Renewable
Energy livery, registered PY64 CXS, sees Graham riding different mounts
on each side of the trailer. A small but interesting detail shows him
wearing Stobart sponsored jodhpurs! There is also a great ‘portrait' of
him on the rear giving a joyous wave.
