Globetrotting Charles Foot has worked in leading stables in Australia and South Africa, but there is no place like home and he has now returned to where it all started to take up the role as assistant to Anthony Honeyball.

Foot started working for Honeyball when finding himself restless during a break from his studies at the British Racing School. He took a job as stable lad with the yard just minutes from his home, and the trainer took a shine to both him and Ben Clarke, acting as a mentor in the early stages of their careers.
