Name David Fox (British Racing Club member)
Age 51
Occupation Chauffeur
Horse Demographic (plus eight more)
Best moment First victory at Wincanton in November 2016
David Fox used to see racehorses virtually every day as he was growing up when his school bus from Great Shefford passed through Lambourn. The self-employed chauffeur never dreamed he would own one himself – until he joined the newly born British Racing Club (britishracingclub.co.uk) in October last year.
Now he is one of about 200 members who own a small share in a string of horses carrying the red, white and blue colours and placed with an array of trainers, among them Grand National-winning trainer Lucinda Russell, Richard Hughes, Charlie Hills and Philip Hobbs.
