I CANNOT pinpoint exactly how or when I developed my interest in racing, but I think that growing up in Kildare may be to blame.

Plenty of the locals will tell you that it is harder to avoid racing than it is to become engrossed by it. I ended up going down the latter route and took the plunge by enrolling in Equine Business in Maynooth University, with the hope of merging my interests in business with my passion for racing.
