Jockey wants to play international poker
2008-03-14 12:51:05
Australian jockey Shane Dye wants to follow in the footsteps of countryman Shane Warne and play poker in various locations across the world.
The 41-year-old, who was actually born in New Zealand, told the Sydney Morning Herald of his new aspirations.
"I'd love a job like Shane Warne, travelling the world playing poker," he reportedly said.
The cricket star, an Australian bowling hero after taking 708 wickets for his country in 145 test matches, has signed up to play in a number of high-profile poker tournaments across the world.
Poker holds a special attraction to Dye, even though he had previously been victorious in a blackjack tournament.
He explained: "Texas hold'em is just huge and the amount of money is astronomical."
Dye has been a successful jockey in Hong Kong and in Australia, where he won the Melbourne Cup in 1989 on the back of Tawrrific.
