Damon has a stake in the three-year-old gelding Are You Kidding along with former Test cricket skipper Steve Smith and retired AFL great Tom Hawkins. Damon was front and centre for the Golden Slipper at Sydney's Rosehill Racecourse last month after Are You Kidding was scratched from the race. Damon's growing ties to Australian racing mirror his broader connection to the country, where he has spent extended periods with his family and formed close friendships. His connection to Australia began during a deeply personal period following the death of his father, Kent Damon, in 2017. 'After my dad died, we moved down there for four months and just went and camped all over the place,' Damon said.
