I'm John....31 next week, live in Dublin (from Kent)...work for an ad agency.

Horse racing has been in my family for years....a huge oil of Desert Orchid dominates my parents living room. My 1st bet was Dessie when I put half my days pay from my Saturday job in the local bakery when he won the 1989 Gold Cup....had to beg my Grandad to put it on for me.

1st trip to the races was the 1995 Derby....had 30 quid on Lamtarra at 14/1. Love flat racing, jumps I can take or leave. Horses are the only sport I bet on and I've been playing poker for money since I 15.

Royal Ascot is my Christmas and the Derby is my birthday!!
