The son of the renowned Barbadian jockey/trainer [Challenor Jones](/source/Challenor_Jones) [MBE](/source/Order_of_the_British_Empire), Jono Jones began his riding career at the age of fourteen at [Garrison Savannah Racetrack](/source/Garrison_Savannah_Racetrack) in his native Barbados. In addition to winning important races at home, including five runnings of the [Barbados Derby](/source/Barbados_Derby), he was also the leading rider in [Martinique](/source/Martinique) in 1994 and again in 1995. In May 2001, Jono Jones went to compete in [Toronto](/source/Toronto), [Ontario](/source/Ontario), Canada. While riding in both Canada and in Barbados, between 2000 and 2003 he won four straight editions of the [Barbados Gold Cup](/source/Barbados_Gold_Cup), his country's most prestigious race. In Canada, Jones has won a number of important [stakes races](/source/Graded_stakes_race) at [Woodbine Racetrack](/source/Woodbine_Racetrack) and at [Fort Erie Racetrack](/source/Fort_Erie_Racetrack). Riding for trainer/owner [Catherine Day Phillips](/source/Catherine_Day_Phillips), in 2004 he rode [A Bit O'Gold](/source/A_Bit_O'Gold) to victory in two of the three [Canadian Triple Crown Races](/source/Triple_Crown_of_Thoroughbred_Racing), the [Prince of Wales Stakes](/source/Prince_of_Wales_Stakes) and the [Breeders' Stakes](/source/Breeders'_Stakes). The following year he won his second Breeders' Stakes aboard Phillips's [Jambalaya](/source/Jambalaya_(horse)). Yet again, Jones won the Breeders' Stakes in 2009, riding Perfect Shower to victory. The win made Perfect Shower the longest price winner in history to win the Breeders' Stakes.[http://www.dailyracingnews.com/horseracingnews.aspx?id=36796 Perfect Shower captures Breeders Stakes]{{Dead link|date=February 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, dailyracingnews.com, 5 August 2009, accessed 6 August 2009.
