IT’S been over a fortnight since I rode my first career winner but to be honest it’s still sinking in. Each time I meet someone new I get to relive it again, so the occasion is still very much fresh in my mind. Coming from a racing stronghold such as Gowran, everyone is keen to congratulate me and offer their best wishes. Hopefully that winner was just the first of many and I can go on to build on my initial success over the winter months.
