Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Saturday 21st March I will be back in the saddle, riding at Newbury Race Course in the Greatwood Charity Raceday.

The day also provides an opportunity for us to raise funds for Greatwood, a unique charity based near Marlborough which provides fulfilling futures for former racehorses and teaches emotional literacy and life skills to children and young people with special educational needs.

I will be riding in the last race of the day the 17.55  Charity Race in Aid of Greetwood.  

"My last race at Ascot was over the seven-furlong flat race in aid of the Prince’s Countryside Trust, against names including Michael Owen and Prince Faheed and I was presented with a prize by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall after the race. It was a great... day but at Newbury,  am looking to take first place!" Myself and a few friends have purchased an horse called Elysian Prince for which i will be riding.

"This will be my 39th race for charity and after this race at Newbury Race Course, I will have raised in excess of £150,000 for good causes in the last 10 years." I will also be featured in the Guinness book of world records in 2019 for raising more money for charity than any other jockey in charity races.
