“The horse that changed my life was called Randomly. He taught me a lot. He was the first horse I ever galloped. And he was a great schoolmaster because I was just 13 years old.
Whenever I think about him – which is often – I realize that if it wasn't for him, I wouldn’t be where I am now! I would never have got hooked on racing and fallen in love with racehorses and racing.
My fondest memory of him away from the track is that when he retired, I gave him a home until his last days. And that makes me smile.”
