Kerrin McEvoy has landed another 'take that' blow on the knockers who tried to wreck his Sydney riding career some months ago...He rode his 1000th career winner on the Chris Waller-trained Bright Mind at Randwick on Wednesday. McEvoy hit the headlines in 2000 when he rode Brew to victory in the Melbourne Cup, becoming the second youngest jockey to win Australia's premier race. In 2002, McEvoy was given the ride on Godolphin's Beekeeper in the Melbourne Cup and his riding earned him an overseas move to to be No 2 jockey for Godolphin. In a four-year stint in Europe, McEvoy won seven Grp 1 races. In Australia, McEvoy has won 12 Group 1s, four this season, including the Caulfield Cup aboard Godolphin's All The Good.
