THIS is the moment a top jockey who sings to himself in the shower blows away Rita Ora with his ‘extraordinary’ voice.
Irish rider Robbie Dolan, 26, is now considering a career change after letting the world hear his incredible hidden talent.
Jockey Dolan is hitting all the right notes as a singer, blowing away Ora with his hidden talent on The Voice Australia

Pop sensation Ora gives Dolan a standing ovation after hearing his voice for the first time
Dolan, who moved to Australia in 2016 to chase more wins in the saddle, has never had singing lessons.
But he left Ora and her fellow judges totally in awe with an amazing rendition of James Bay’s Let It Go.
Ora, a judge on the Australian version of the hit singing show, gives Doland a standing ovation at the end of his performance.
Speaking about his newfound fame, Dolan said: “I don’t know anything technical about music, but I’ve always been singing in the car, on the way to the races and in the shower.

“I’m not too sure if I can even sing well enough for something like this.
“I just know that I love singing, it’s definitely from the heart.
“It’s pretty exciting – it feels like a dream at this stage. Singing has always just been a hobby to me.
“I did school plays years and years ago and always really enjoyed singing.
“Racing took over my life but just recently I’ve started to learn guitar and try to do a few gigs.
“It’s a step away from racing. I’d love to get into it but it’s hard to have two lives and racing is everything at the moment.
“They are very different worlds but once I got the opportunity to perform on The Voice I was like, ‘why not, what have I got to lose?’”
Dolan struggled to get rides in Ireland and won just three races before moving over to the other side of the world.
ARRIVED WITH NOTHING – NOW A STAR
He said: “I came over with nothing. I had no money, I had a school bag on my back. I just wanted to give it a go.”
Fast forward six years and he has 233 winners and two Group 1 wins, with his latest coming earlier this month.
Settled and happy in Sydney, he is due to become a dad in July and recently bought a house with girlfriend Christine.
But he says if he was to truly follow his dreams then he could soon be swapping the whip for a mic instead.
