'You're all doom and gloom but you don't know what's been going on, so I hope we can prove you all wrong and shut you all up'
The Big Read
It's been a quarter of a century since we started - here's how we've seen the sport we love change
The Big Read
‘When you’re in the moment and you’re starved, you’re ready to explode - everything built up and I just lost my s**t’
The Big Read
'I still remember the look on Paul Nicholls' face - but it would have been a lot worse if I hadn't held on!'
The Big Read
'It was devastating – but as a leader you've got to stand up, pick everyone else up and take them forward with you'
The Big Read
'He was still 100-1 at the post, so it was hopefully quite well planned' - renowned punter Patrick Veitch on a life in betting and a new venture
The Big Read
'People love having horses with Willy rather than a miserable git like me'
The Big Read
'I'm not here to tell people how to train but if you hide something from me, I'm gone, I'm done - and you won't see me again'
The Big Read
'The lads often give out to me for saying what I say - but if I didn't say what I thought I wouldn't be being true to myself'
The Big Read
'I'm not retiring just yet. It'll come to me, I'm sure, but I hate idleness - I haven't had an idle moment in 60 years'
The Big Read
'The next target has to be number one spot. It's a massive dream and it's going to be hard, but you have to keep aiming high'
The Big Read
'I know how lucky I am. I'm in a very privileged position and not many get the chance I've been given'
The Big Read
'You're unfashionable all of a sudden. I was struggling to pay my mortgage, wondering what I was going to do'
The Big Read
'Dad can be a grumpy old bugger at times - but he has all those years of experience and you'd be a fool not to use that'
The Big Read
'With Stoute and Swinburn there was a certain magic' - the inside story of one of racing's great relationships
The Big Read
Sir Michael Stoute: 'I still enjoy it but probably not as much as I ever did'
The Big Read
'I'm single-handedly trying to bring up my father and it's not going well - I'm 22 and he's still 18'
The Big Read
'I don't need to chase rides any more. I've been there, done that, and there comes a time when you've got to let go'
The Big Read
'It was for more than the craic. It was for the money' - 50 years on, the Gay Future gambling coup is no less extraordinary
The Big Read
'I was well connected and I've never made any bones about it - but that opportunity only takes you so far'
The Big Read
'I've been prepared to put my balls on the line. Sometimes things have worked out. Sometimes they haven't'
The Big Read
'I don't take any notice of the cancer, I just carry on. I'm not frightened. I was a jump jockey, wasn't I'
The Big Read
'We'd put all our savings together, had four horses and we were out of money - it's a miracle that we made it'
The Big Read
'It would be nice to get some big owners in the yard - we even wrote to the Queen'
