Bauyrzhan Murzabayev Named Retained Rider For Andre Fabre

[Wandering Eyes]

Bauyrzhan Murzabayev, a four-time champion jockey in Germany, will become the retained rider for French trainer Andre Fabre, according to published reports.

Murzabayev, who formerly rode for Peter Schiergen, will have first call on all of Fabre's horses barring those of Godolphin and Wertheimer et Frere, as they have their own retained jockeys.

“For me, this is the next step,” Bauyrzhan Murzabayev told Galopp Online. “Last year, when Henri-Francis Graffard's offer came, I stayed. I know what I owe to Peter Schiergen. We were a very good team and I know that it will be different in France now. But I'm a competitive athlete, my time is short and it's a huge opportunity to develop myself. I would like to thank Peter and Gisela Schiergen for an extraordinary cooperation. They were like family to me and the decision to switch is hard for me.”
