'I couldn't say a thing when she won - I was so overwhelmed by it'

Lifelong racing fan Roger Vicarage won with the first horse he owned outright, Zarosa, at Nottingham in 2012 and hopes to enjoy more success with her daughter, Cloudy Rose, who races for his Runfortheroses syndicate, as he tells David Carr

I got interested in racing because my dad used to watch it on TV and when I was ten we went to Newbury. There was an amateurs' race with John Lawrence, the Duque de Alburquerque and Tommy Smith, who had ridden Jay Trump to win the 1965 Grand National.

We had grandparents who lived in Hereford and we persuaded my parents we should go there on bank holidays. That was great because you were right up to the rails and you could shout out to Terry Biddlecombe as he came past.
