TL: What was your earliest racing memory, and was being a jockey something you always wanted to do?
MD: My dad loved racing and I grew up near Aintree Racecourse. My dad always had the racing on the television and he was always having a bet. My first memory was Slip Anchor winning the 1985 Derby and I remember watching it and was mesmerised by it.
