Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 4 hours ago Journalists Share Posted 4 hours ago Kendrick Carmouche has been named the winner of the 2025 George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award after a nationwide vote by his fellow riders. The award, which has been presented annually by Santa Anita Park since 1950, honors riders whose careers and personal character earn esteem for the individual and for the sport of Thoroughbred racing. “Twenty five years of living as a professional jockey and living as a son to a jockey, this award means that the pavement that I have put down in the industry has been shown to a lot of people and they've seen me grow over the years,” said Carmouche. “I'm just honored, very honored. I just wish my dad would be here to notice. He was one of the biggest influences that got me into the sport. He is well missed. This is one of the things that we accomplish along the way to show our gratitude. Not only to my dad, but my wife and kids, my mom, brothers and sisters. Just accomplishing so many things along my career.” Carmouche began riding at age 16 and won his first race at Evangeline Downs in his home state. The son of jockey Sylvester Carmouche, Jr., he became a dominant force at Parx where he won four straight riding titles and seven overall. He has made New York his base since 2015 and won riding titles at Aqueduct during its 2020 fall meet and 2023 spring meet. Carmouche will be honored with the Woolf Award in a winner's circle ceremony at Santa Anita this spring.
