The Frenchman has a smile that can light up a room, and a personality that can soften the most stony heart. But once he's legged up onto a thoroughbred, Olivier Doleuze is an uncompromisingly professional jockey.
Being a jockey never seems to be hard work to Doleuze. He loves his job and is a complete enthusiast. Whenever he retires, the industry should hire him as a PR consultant because it's impossible to listen to him talking about racing without becoming infected and inspired by his enthusiasm.
Doleuze makes horses do things they normally cannot do. They run faster, strive harder yet relax better for him than for most other riders.
When it comes to skill in the saddle, he has ticks in all the boxes. But the bottom line is that he has the ultimate skill for a top jockey in that horses love to run for him.
Watch out when Doleuze celebrates a winner ... again, he's the best!
