on his biggest idols In my life so far, there have been three idols who have guided me and helped me become what I am today. Starting with the man who made me a horse man, Monty Roberts, the Horse Whisperer from California. The second is the Taylor family who I worked for in Lexington, Kentucky. They taught me business. And the third and the most important person in my life as a horse person is His Highness Sheikh Mohammed who picked me up when I had no experience in this business. He gave me such an opportunit­y that I don’t think many people have the privilege of that and I am one of the lucky ones. on his other four horses We have Godolphin Mile. I have two horses, Secret Ambition and Raven’s

Corner. Unfortunat­ely, we didn’t have any luck in Raven’s Corner’s draw. He has drawn the widest which gives him a big disadvanta­ge. He needs a miracle to produce a result. Secret Ambition has drawn 10. Not the ideal draw, but you know somebody has to get these draws, so we have to live with it. Then we have the Yulong Warrior in the UAE derby. It’s very good, improving young horse and I really think highly of him. His last race was really impressive. He has got seven out of nine draw which is not his favourite style so we will need a bit of luck there. Then we go onto Golden Shaheen where we have Renaldothe­wizard. Everybody in the racing world knows him because he is one of the veterans. He is 12-yearsold. He has already won this race in 2013. He is a very special horse.
