Danny Tudhope grew up in Ayrshire, Scotland. He had no family connection with racing and only considered a career as a jockey when it was suggested to him by a career’s advisor. 

Based in the north of England, he has forged a long-standing association with trainer David O’Meara, with whom he has enjoyed success at the very highest level of the sport.  

Tudhope is a regular presence among the leading jockeys in the British Flat Jockeys’ Championship, and has had notable victories in Britain, Ireland, USA and the Middle East.
