CoFounder of Hospitality Hosts organising expert sporting hosts at events across the UK. Currently working with the Jockey Club organising the recruitment, training and booking of Jockey Club Hosts to host hospitality boxes at all 15 of the Jockey Club racecourses including The Grand National at Aintree, the Cheltenham Festival and The Derby at Epsom. We manage a team of former and current jockeys to enhance the race day experience for all hospitality and group booking customers by providing first-hand insights, knowledge and expertise to add to the thrill and enjoyment of a day at the races. Our hosts will explain what happens on a race day, how to read the race card for newcomers, share unique insights into the life of a jockey and interesting stories from within the British racing industry, as well as highlight noteworthy developments and introduce guests to trainers, jockeys and owners. We also organise behind the scenes extras such as visits to the start and tours of the Pre-Parade Ring and Winners' Enclosure.
I analyse every race at a particular meeting and comment on how each individual horse has performed from start to finish. The data is shared across all types of media from websites to newspapers.
I am contracted by the BRS to coach Conditional and Apprentice Jockeys. I cover everything from reviewing races to fitness and technique. I also do a lot of work with the mind-set of jockeys. I use the latest video software to analyse jockeys techniques with drawing tools to highlight certain areas. The lesson is then put into their own online locker for the student to have access to whenever they want.
