What is the last picture you took on your phone? My family around the table for Christmas dinner. Favorite social media app? Instagram, because there is no negativity and it's fun and interesting. What is a skill you would like to learn? I'd like to take up sailing. What song do you know all of the lyrics to? Bohemian Rhapsody. Number one item on your bucket list? To win a race in Europe. Most rewarding experience you've had in the racing industry? Winning the Dubai World Cup, because we spent a year planning to get Animal King- dom there. If you could spend the day with any celebrity, who would it be? Jimmy Fallon would be pretty entertaining. Where is your favorite place to run a horse? Ascot Racecourse in England or Santa Ani- ta in the U.S. What's the best life lesson the racing industry has taught you? Work hard and stay humble. You moved with your family to the US in 1980. What has become your favorite thing about America? It would have been hard to be as successful at what I do in England. I feel very fortu- nate to have come to America; it really is the land of opportunity. What do you miss most about England? The nostalgia. There is so much history in England. If you weren't a trainer, what would you be doing for a living? I'm not sure. My first job after school was washing dishes in a diner in Millbrook, New York. I loved it! 71
