What are you looking forward to most in 2021?

Ghislain Bozo, Meridian International The return to racing in general and Royal Ascot in particular. I also hope that Britain will take the necessary measures to shake up its industry and its prize-money. This industry cannot rely on Dubai money only, we need more owners.

Gina Bryce, Sky Sports Racing presenter Getting back on a racecourse. My son is desperate for me to take him racing so I can’t wait to get dressed up and have a day out. My parents also bred Wootton Bassett so I'm looking forward to seeing the stellar list of mares he’ll cover at Coolmore and his most expensively-bred crop of two-year-olds hit the track.

Sally Ann Grassick, ITV Racing presenter I'm very proud of the success of Thoroughbred Tales so far, a social media project which aims to share positive stories about the racing and breeding industry with a wider audience, and I look forward to seeing that continue to grow in 2021. I represent Haras de Colleville internationally and 2020 was an amazing year for all three of our sires. Kendargent continues to prove his value, his son Goken is looking like a worthy heir to the throne as leading first-season sire, while Galiway had a two-year-old Group 1 winner in Sealiway.
