Jane Elliott: 'I love riding horses - it's very therapeutic'
The jockey, 24, gets our weekly grilling
What advice would you give your ten-year-old self?
To work hard and believe in yourself because it's very difficult to achieve anything otherwise.
You had a fine time of things at Chester's May festival with two winners. How did you find that?
It was fantastic, probably the biggest day of my career so far and something I could certainly get used to.
If you could be involved in any other sport professionally, which would it be and why?
Golf, because you get to experience a brilliant lifestyle and follow the sun around the world. I also really like Formula One, so wouldn't turn my nose up at driving in the Grand Prix. I particularly enjoyed the recent F1 documentary on Netflix.
