How did you get into racehorse ownership?
In or around 1986. I got involved with Arran and Garreth Metcalfe (now breeders – where did I go wrong?). Our first horse was Gargamel, trained by Ruby Walsh senior, a gentleman, RIP. Aaron, Garreth and myself were first starting out in business. I will never forget Ruby’s advice – horse racing is your hobby, it is fun, make sure you all look after your own business. That advice is just as relevant today as it was back in 1986.
