THERE is plenty of activity on campus as we re-engage with the school year and welcome a new intake of trainees. Having recently completed an exercise rider programme (pictured adjacent), we now have more young residents taking their first steps towards a professional career and rubbing shoulders with some of our recent graduates who are working locally and living on campus while availing of the services and supports.

It makes for a healthy mix of young people all focused on building up their skills and experience towards a sustainable career in racing and hopefully we can guide them successfully in this transition.
