How did you get into racehorse
ownership?

I was a member of a syndicate in the early ‘90s, The First Thursday Club. We had a horse called Durgams Delight trained in Malton by Bryan Murray a native of Maghera who had been in England since he was 15. The horse wasn’t very good, placed three times in low-grade handicaps. Then she got injured so we brought her home but nobody was really interested in keeping her.
