It has to be Cachet, beyond my wildest dreams to train a Classic winner in my third season for Highclere.
Who will be champion first-season sire in 2023?
He might not have the most winners but I have a handful by Blue Point who are very hard not to like.

The Derby, but I'd love to win a Breeders' Cup or a Cox Plate.
If you could be someone else in the industry for a day who would it be, and why?
Aidan O'Brien.
Emerging talent in the industry (human)?
Harry Derham (top man who I've sent a horse!) and Connor Planas (joins us after a stint in Dubai).
