The son of ex jockey, and current trainer, Satish Narredu and nephew of ex jockey and current trainer, Malesh Narredu, Suraj has been exposed to horse racing since he was born.

Suraj has been riding professionally for 17 years now, and achieved 1000 wins in 2010, which is a record for the fastest 1000 wins in India!


He is now on the cusp of achieving 2000 winners, which is history in the making for this experienced jockey, whose role model is the legendary [[Frankie Dettori]]! Dettori’s ‘Magnificent 7’ at the Royal Ascot, would be the most inspiring moment for Suraj, as he aspires to become better with each day.

The highlights of Suraj Narredu’s career would be when he won the [[McDowells Signature Indian Derby]] in record timing, with Be Safe in 2015. Suraj still maintains that Be Safe is the best horse he has ever ridden.

2014-2015 saw a dream phase for Suraj’s career where he won every single Classic of the year with three horses, Be Safe, Quasar and Godspeed.
Suraj won the Indian Derby once again in 2019 with Star Superior.
Suraj has garnered International riding experience by doing sort riding stints abroad in riding centres in USA, France, Dubai, Singapore and most recently, Ireland where he worked alongside world renowned professionals like [[Aiden O' Brien]], [[Joseph O' Brien]] and [[John Oxx]]
He has won races in Macau, Malaysia and Mauritius where he won the International Jockeys Challenge in 2011.
