Martin, who is originally from Liverpool, has now been in the saddle for 30 years after deciding at the age of 15 that he wanted to be a jockey, with no real prior experience of riding horses. Martin has an impressive list of winners on his CV which include the Epsom Derby, Dewhurst Stakes, Dubai Sheema Classic, Hong Kong Vase, Epsom Oaks and many Royal Ascot wins.
We speak to Martin about:
- Becoming a jockey and his apprenticeship with Ian Balding
- His career highlights - with beating Frankie Dettori to win the Epsom Derby first taking top spot
- The challenges which come with the territory, including online abuse, injury and spending far too much time in the car
- What has changed since he started out and what advice he would give an aspiring jockey
- Jockey nutrition and maintaining his weight
