Kevin Stott has been appointed as the new retained rider for the Amo Racing operation ahead of the start of the 2023 Flat season.

At 28, Stott has had an impressive year with 116 winners, and is currently leading the all-weather jockeys' championship with 60 victories. Undoubtedly, his biggest success came when winning the Group 1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2020, riding for Kevin Ryan's yard.

With Stott joining the team, Amo Racing principal Kia Joorabchian said that the team could provide Stott with "a platform from which he can excel further", and that they "look forward to a successful partnership". In response, Stott said he was "very excited" to be part of the team and that "The strength and depth they have at their disposal is second to none".

Stott is now looking forward to partnering the fancied Baradar in the SBK Lincoln Handicap at Doncaster in April, as well as the much-fancied Crypto Force, who is now with John and Thady Gosden's yard. By riding the best horses in the best races, Stott is confident that the Amo Racing team will be the perfect platform for his racing career.
