00:00Who's the best judge in the ring? I am going to say Billy Jackson stops.
00:08David Spratt does very, very well for a very shrewd amount of money. He must be very good.
00:13I don't know him that well, but he does very well.
00:16I've great respect for the Burns family. They've bred countless group one winners over the
00:20years and they're proper Irish breeders, so I'll go with the collective family.
00:25Always the person who buys the horse, because it makes everybody feel good about themselves.
00:28Aurelien Voileau. He works for the Niarchos family and he's got the sharpest eye.
00:34Who's the best judge in the ring? Paul McCartan.
00:40Matt Coleman.
00:42Tugh Foley.
00:44Dermot Farrington.
00:46Oh, pause.
00:48James Hanley, Ballyhammock and Stud.
00:51Jesus, that's a heart.
00:53I've a few mentors. Bill Dwan, Ed Sackville, Stuart Bowman.
00:59That's very hard.
01:01I look at my parents. I don't think I could escape the dining room table mentorship I've got over the years from them.
01:09A lot of people have been very good to me, but I suppose my dad, Anthony, has always been a good sounding board.
01:13Well, Angus Gould started me off, so I'm going to go for him.
01:17Oh, I've been very lucky. I think there's been a lot of people within the industry that have helped me along.
01:26Mentors, Roger Varane and Hugh Vederberg.
01:29Andreas Butz.
01:30Kane Condon.
01:31Probably the first person that took me semi-seriously and gave me a bit of time a day was Pat Downs when I was doing foaling for the air con.
01:38So yeah, shout out to Pat.
01:42Ambition.
01:45Ambition. I think if you're lazy, you won't use your talent.
01:49Be ambitious and put your neck on the line a bit and you'll do alright.
01:53I think ambition takes you a long way and talent is the icing on top of the cake.
01:59Talent, of course.
02:02Oh, ambition all the way. Ambition all the way.
02:05When the talented people make mistakes, it usually falls on their lap and it becomes a good thing, even when they're making a mistake. That is proper talent.
02:16I think ambition and hard work.
