ALTHOUGH I got a great buzz when Secret Memories won at Wetherby in June, the filly’s recent victory at Dundalk was even sweeter. It was fantastic to gain that initial win in my adopted country, especially with the horse who was my first runner as a licensed trainer.

Racing is in my blood, so I suppose I was always going to work in the industry in some form. My dad Joey Brown was a leading apprentice based with Ian Balding, while my mother Rachel, worked as a racing secretary in a number of yards.
