CHAMPION jockey Jim Cassidy will be honoured for riding 100 Group 1 winners at the Royal Randwick meeting today.

Cassidy achieved the milestone at Flemington last Saturday when he partnered super colt Zoustar to an easy win in the Coolmore Stud Stakes.

The Hall of Fame jockey rides has six rides at Randwick today, five for Zoustar's trainer Chris Waller including Amovatio and Field Marshall.

The Australian Turf Club is going to acknowledge Cassidy's achievement by making a special presentation to the jockey during tomorrow's meeting.

Cassidy joins George Moore (119 Group 1 wins) and Roy Higgins (106) as the only jockeys to have ridden a century of major race wins on Australian tracks.

The ATC will replay some highlights of Cassidy's fabulous career, including some of his most memorable Group 1 wins, on the infield super screen during the day before presenting him with a special trophy and gift to mark his milestone.

"Jim is only the third jockey in Australian racing history to reach this most significant achievement and we are only too pleased to publicly congratulate him,'' ATC chief executive Darren Pearce said.

"We in Sydney have been lucky enough that Jim has made our city his home and so many of those precious Group 1 wins have been on our tracks.''
