It is with sadness that Racing Victoria (RV) and the Victorian Jockeys Association (VJA) acknowledge the passing of former jockey Michael Fitzgerald, aged 33. Michael was apprenticed to his father, late Wangaratta trainer Allan Fitzgerald, from 2008-2011 and more recently worked for his brother John as a stablehand and trackwork rider. Fitzgerald competed in over 500 races throughout his career as a jockey and rode winners in Victoria, New South Wales and the Northern Territory. RV and VJA extend their condolences to the Fitzgerald family on behalf of the Victorian racing industry on the news of Michael’s passing. The Fitzgerald family would like to pass on their appreciation to everyone who has reached out and provided their love and support during this difficult time. Vale.
