'I was called the Ginger Wizard for a few weeks, but it didn't catch on'

What advice would you give your ten-year-old self?
Be dedicated, work hard and believe in yourself.

What is your earliest racing memory?
Going to the races with my dad [John]. He would take me into the weighing room and I would sit there all day admiring the jockeys coming in and out as well as the occasional trip to the canteen for a handful of sweets.

When did you first know you’d become a jockey?
I don't think I can remember exactly as it's always the only thing I ever wanted to do.
