Australian jockey Cody Collis is set to continue his career in Mauritius after linking up with Aqua Stallions Stables, bringing with him a growing reputation from the Queensland racing circuit.

Still only 22, Collis has already ridden 222 winners from 1,611 rides at a strong 14% strike-rate, while finishing in the placings on 37% of his mounts. His first race ride came aboard Paible at Yeppoon on 31 October 2020, before registering his maiden victory just days later when Exocet Rocket scored at Gladstone on 3 November 2020.

Among the best horses he has partnered is Steady Ready, rated 113 by Timeform, underlining the level of opportunity he enjoyed during his rise through the Australian ranks.

Collis was also nominated for the 2025 Apprentice Jockey Award at the prestigious Queensland Thoroughbred Awards and is regarded as a composed lightweight rider capable of riding at 53kg.

He is expected to begin work from tomorrow morning with trainer Shirish Narang as he prepares for his first opportunities in Mauritius.
