At Caymanas Park, the roar of the crowd is a familiar symphony for back-to-back champion jockey Raddesh ‘Sneaky Fox’ Roman. However, his recent 400th career victory marked a quiet, internal milestone rather than just another celebratory parade. Going into the history-making race, Roman was acutely aware of his standing; he knew he was on 399 wins and fully realised the significance of the moment. Interestingly, the achievement felt different than one might expect. Because he was already "on a roll", the milestone was not overwhelmingly exciting, though he admitted his surprise at reaching the 400-win mark so quickly in his career.

The historic win was made even more special by the team behind it. Roman secured his 400th win while riding for Anthony Nunes, a trainer he holds in the highest regard. Roman proudly refers to Nunes as a "master" and noted that it was a very good feeling to achieve this 400th milestone on one of his horses. “It’s a very good feeling," Roman said, adding, "Knowing that it was with his horse I got the 400th win.”

The journey to 400 wins was not without its growing pains, and Roman is refreshingly candid about his evolution. The core of his success lies in a profound shift in mindset. Acknowledging his earlier years, the turning point in his career arrived when he consciously decided to stop "playing around". He realised that by securing a good agent and committing to hard work, everything in his career would ultimately fall into place.
