How did you get interested in racing?

I grew up next door to a bookies office in Kilcormack in Offaly. My school teacher used to bring me in there. I should mention that it was with the approval of my parents! It never did any damage, I think it just sharpened me up. The other man who is involved with Panda Boy is Pat McBennett. While I was in the bookies at a very young age, he used to be riding work for Toss Taaffe. So that is how we got the interest in racing.
