An Irish jockey will swap the saddle for the stage as he set to show off his vocals on The Voice Australia.
Robbie Dolan, from Kildare town, is the grandson of Peadar Matthews, who won two Irish Classics in the 1960s; both parents, Bobby and Paula, also rode and brother Barry is a trainer in the US.
Dolan left Ireland at the end of 2016 for Australia, where he worked for trainer Mark Newnham in Sydney – but now he’s hoping for a singing career instead.
