Africa-Press<\/a> – Mauritius<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Flat jockey Stevie Donohoe flies back to Britain on Wednesday from a successful summer stint on the holiday island of Mauritius, which included a local Group 1 victory in the Mauritius Derby.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old registered 12 winners from over 60 rides during his stay and signed off with a winner at their most recent meeting last Sunday to take him into fourth in the jockeys\u2019 championship.<\/p>\n

Donohoe has fared well at the island’s unfamiliar track of Champ de Mars, where they usually race only at weekends, and the rider is not ruling out a return trip next year.<\/p>\n

Donohoe, whose biggest domestic win was aboard Rajasinghe in the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2017, originally left Britain in April for a first taste of life in the Indian Ocean after accepting a six-month contract to ride for the top stable of Soun Gujadhur.<\/p>\n

Speaking from Mauritius, Donohoe said: \u201cI\u2019m flying back to Britain tonight but I have no firm plans at the minute and I\u2019m just going to see how I pitch in.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll try to ride out for as many people as I can and just keep busy. \u201d
\nAs for his stay in Mauritius, he added: \u201cI’ve had a brilliant time out here winning the Group 1 Derby and I also rode a four-timer one day.<\/p>\n

They really like me out here and I\u2019m gutted to be going home but it was the end of my six-month contract. ”
\nAs for a potential return next year, the jockey added: \u201cI might come back next year as it will be better and hopefully easier to get around and I\u2019ll know more what to do.<\/p>\n

During the six months, Donohoe stayed in a resort to the north of the island, which is preferable as the south has more rainfall, and enjoyed golf, boat trips and paddleboarding as well as race-riding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
