Stevedore (stable name "Jaffa"), a chestnut gelding, is by Docksider (USA) out of La Belle Katherine (USA) and was born on the 6 April 2001. Trained by Jim Boyle at Epsom, Jaffa came to the yard direct from racing (ie. from the same stable as Fidi, Dotty and Kanga).
Jaffa raced on the flat 36 times in all, including 14 times on the all weather, and had 7 wins, 7 seconds and 1 third with total winnings of £32,000.

Jaffa was actually called Steve when he came but, due to the original Steve not wanting a double and his colouring being, well orange, he then became Jaffa.
Jaffa is usually a reliable, gentle and well behaved ride for numerous people. He even came out hunting before Christmas and couldn’t really understand what all the fuss was about, it was all in a days work for him.
