About Adam Kirby
Born 1985. Adam Kirby is a jockey.
Adam Kirby (born August 1988) is a retired Group 1-winning British jockey.
He was brought up in Kirtling near Newmarket, on the Cambridgeshire/Suffolk border, where he still lives, and started riding out for James Fanshawe aged 12. The ride came as a late jockey change after Kirby lost his original ride, on the better-fancied John Leeper, to Frankie Dettori, who had become available following the withdrawal of a number of Aidan O'Brien's horses.
He was known for being one of the tallest jockeys in the weighing room.
