Feels a bit late to be saying Happy New Year to you all but Happy New Year anyway. I’m hoping everyone is trying to stay as positive as possible in lockdown, at least this time around the vaccines have given us hope and a pathway back to some sort of normality.
For me personally, I had a good first half of the season in 2020 but that’s been and done now. I’m going to be keeping my head down, taking it day-by-day, and hopefully I can keep apace with the guys at the top of the Jump Jockeys’ Championship with all the top horses I’m so lucky to ride.
Here’s my answers to various quick fire questions about my career and my colleagues in the weighing room.
