It’s a good question, one that is posed often to any of us in this crazy game we play. The answers vary but always seem to include connection, history, escape, feeling, thrill, comfort, friends, family…
On a quiet Monday morning, I’ve been wedged into the living room couch watching Lossiemouth, No Drama This End and the rest of the stars from Leopardstown to Newbury. I guess there’s a bit of all those things for me.

“I track horses every day. I follow it. I have three, four of my friends that I follow all over the world.

I basically grew up with some of my friends back home, so I hope that love (of horses) is never going to go away.”
Here’s a cool story in The Athletic about why horses for Jokić.
