He is married to Karen (formerly Karen Dunkerton) whom he met when he made a guest appearance on the television show Young Talent Time in 1983. Karen was a member of the Young Talent Time team at that time and the 'starlet and the jockey' story created significant local media interest. They married in 1989 and have four children, Jade, Breanna, Sean and Brooke. In 2000, a portrait of Gauci was hung in the Archibald Prize competition. His biography, The Gauch, written by Kristen Manning, was published by Melbourne Books in 2018. References External links Darren Gauci career statistics Racing Victoria.
