Bryony Frost: 'It's hard to ignore negativity when it comes at you all the time'

There is a fair chance that by now you have heard we are living in strange times. To appreciate just how strange is to spend an hour with Bryony Frost.

The peculiarity of this particular moment has nothing to do with the virus, although it does seem a tad unusual to be sitting, socially distanced, with one of the sport's highest-profile participants in an empty Tote betting hall on a near-empty racecourse. It is not, however, the where or when of our meeting that feels most surreal, more one of the whys.

For although this is a chance to mark Frost having become the first female jockey ever to win the King George VI Chase, there is an elephant in the room that has to be addressed. There is the good stuff, undoubtedly. There is also, very regrettably, the bad stuff.
