00:00So it's a routine, an espresso followed by reading the TDN and then hitting the sails
00:11ground.
00:13Get up around 6 o'clock, get my fruit and coffee in and hit the sail ground with a pep
00:19of my step to look at horses.
00:23Coffee.
00:25Get up and survive the day.
00:27Get here as early as I can, try and be the first one looking.
00:30Check the horses that I'm selling and then usually I'm on my feet, you know, looking
00:33at horses all day.
00:35It just depends whether I'm buying or selling really, but yeah.
00:38On my feet, on the move, buying, selling, keeping busy and then, yeah, I don't party
00:42too hard actually so I'm kind of home to bed.
00:47Get up at half four, go and help the guys with the box, take my shower and go for a
00:53walk.
00:54Wake up with a hot cup of tea and head to sails early, work really hard all day, never
01:00sit down and at the end of the day, a nice glass of wine.
01:05Getting up early, try to get organized because I usually don't get organized the night before.
01:10I'm a more morning person so better to start early and get started before beginning the
01:16sail.
01:17I've always enjoyed to come very early because I love to see the day coming up here and you
01:21have your coffee, a croissant when everything is ready and you see all the horses and things
01:25like that and then the routine, you know, a routine is a routine.
01:31Keep the faith.
01:33When I was in the post-university kind of period trying to get a job in racing and struggling,
01:39I ended up, well, yeah, I was a groundsman at Salter Racecourse and the boss there, Jeremy
01:45Martin, I then was applying for jobs, didn't get a lot of jobs and I then started applying
01:49for jobs in the city to work in finance and he said to me, don't do that, keep the faith,
01:55you'll be alright and now I'm stood here so he was right.
02:00Oh, erm, you have two ears and one mouth so I've listened twice as much as you speak.
02:08I assume it makes an asset of you and me.
02:12The obvious one is work hard but probably try and give as much time to your family as
02:16you can because that's easily forgettable.
02:19Go big because we all go home.
02:23Never leave a page, a pedigree page, with only bad comments on.
02:29Just always try to find something positive about a horse, even if you hate that horse,
02:34try to find something positive to say about that horse.
02:38Work hard and the harder you work, the luckier you get.
