HEART OF RACING: Sam Coen, apprentice jockey (opens the original)
Read excerpt
MY two sisters, Leah and Megan, had ponies for a long time. They did eventing, show jumping and hunting. I got the bug for horses from them. As they got older and grew out of their ponies, they were passed down to me. I was big into hunting but also did a lot of eventing and show jumping. Becky Tandy and Annette Connolly were very good to me, I learned a lot from both of them. Ben and Jake Coen, who are my first cousins, were also pony racing when I was too young to compete. I travelled with the
HEART OF RACING: Paddy Cody, Jockey, Co Kilkenny (opens the original)

WITH four winners already this season, I’ve surpassed my previous best. I’m pleased with how things have been going since I turned professional in July of last year. I’d be heavy enough so it’s harder to get the rides. I want to make the most of the chances that come my way. Thankfully, I’ve been able to do so over the last couple of months. My mother and father always had point-to-pointers and trained horses. There were always horses around at home when I was growing up. Before I could even wal

I GREW up in Dún Laoghaire, Co Dublin. There wasn’t really a direct family connection to horses or racing. My great-grandparents on both sides were farmers, and my father grew up above his parents’ pub in Fethard, which was very much an agricultural community at the time. Dad was a ship’s captain and master mariner and sailed around the world twice. He also drove lifeboats throughout my childhood. We spent a lot of time sailing growing up, and we still do, so I think that’s probably where I deve

I DON’T have a traditional background in the racing and breeding industry. As a child, I loved my ponies and would help out at the local riding school in Ballymore every chance I got. I grew very close with the family who ran the riding school and we would head off up and down the country every other weekend in the horsebox. They allowed me to compete on some lovely ponies for them. We also had ponies at home with our cousins so that kept us busy right up through our teenage years. The racing wa
HEART OF RACING: Terry Casey: 'He gave me the inspiration to become a jockey' (opens the original)

IN the last week, I have ridden two winners for Michael Mulvany. I had already ridden one for my boss, Danny Murphy, at the start of last month. Now, with those three winners, I have already equalled last year’s total. Hopefully, I can kick on now and add a few more before the end of the season. My father (Willie ‘Big Bang’ Casey) was a professional fighter. I did a bit of boxing myself from the age of 11 to 15, but never had any thoughts of taking it further. I would have been into most sports
