Troy Hearn Jr gets ready for his first mount at Woodbine racetrack in 2022.

For some people being a jockey is everything and for Troy Hearn Jr it is everything and more.

He trains hard and he believes in his diet which he is proud to talk about if you ever get him into a good conversation about fitness.  Horse racing is a passion and a love for something that he was born into back in his native land of Trinidad and Tobago.
