About

Blake grew up in Kilmore (Victoria) being born to a family of saddlers.

He has always been a polished jockey and won the 2007-08 Sydney Metropolitan Jockeys’ Premiership with 77 wins (shortened due to equine influenza) and took out the 2005 RVL Scobie Breasley Medal as a 17-year-old.

Blake’s first big win was in the 2008 Melbourne Cup on the Bart Cummings-trained Viewed.  Blake said when he finally hangs up his saddle he would like to have an involvement in mentoring and developing the skills of young jockeys.
