Jockey Omar Walker’s story has become one of resilience, consistency, and quiet brilliance.
Known affectionately as “Champo”, he remains the only six-time champion jockey in Caymanas Park history — a feat that alone should cement his legacy. His résumé sparkles with Jamaica’s most prestigious races, including the Triple Crown aboard the legendary She’s A Maneater.
