Damien Oliver (born 22 June 1972) is an Australian retired thoroughbred racing jockey. Oliver comes from a racing family; his father Ray Oliver had a successful career until his death in a race fall during the 1975 Kalgoorlie Cup in Western Australia.[1] In 2008, Oliver was inducted into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame.[2] In August 2023 he announced that he would retire at the end of that year's spring carnival.[3]
