Declan Carroll, one of Arlington Park’s leading riders in 2021, is hoping to ride at Woodbine for the 2022 season. Carroll, 22, is awaiting paperwork to be approved so that he can move his tack from Fair Grounds, where he is currently riding, to Toronto. The Woodbine season is set to begin April 16. Gary Kemplen would be his agent. This week, Carroll is spending some time in Ireland, where he was listed to ride in his first race there on March 11 at Dundalk.
Carroll began riding in 2018 and for the past three years has ridden an average of 400 horses per year, with 145 career wins. He recently guided Pyron to a last-to-first victory in the Colonel Power Stakes at Fair Grounds (below).
