Jamie Mott (born 1988 or 1989) is an Australian jockey based in Victoria.

Mott comes from a horse-racing family. His father, Daryl Mott, was a jockey in Victoria, his grandfather Des was a jumps jockey, and his grandmother Janet Mott was a trainer at Geelong. [1] Jamie began his career apprenticed to Janet. [2] Daryl's last winner as a jockey was Toy Machine, trained by Janet, at a meeting at Mortlake in July 2003; Toy Machine was Jamie's first winner, at Colac in January 2004. [3]

Mott is tall for a jockey, at 181 cm (5 feet 11 inches), [4] and has sometimes had trouble keeping his weight down, which has led to periods when he has been unable to ride in flat races. [3] He has sometimes ridden in jumps races. [1] Since his marriage to Carol-Anne Brassil, from Ireland, and the birth of their two sons, he has kept a steady 56 kilograms riding weight, but he has been able to get down to 54.5 kilograms. [3] [4] [1]

Mott rode his first Group One winner in the 2022 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes on Callsign Mav and his second on Roch 'N' Horse in the Champions Sprint a few weeks later. [5] As of mid-February 2025, he has ridden 1,604 winners, including two in Group One races. [6]
