Ross's interest in racing started from a young age from when he went to school on the Epsom Downs and would rarely miss an afternoon at the races. His Head teacher remarked he should focus on studying anything apart from the horse's form! From as early thirteen years old he dreamt about one day having a runner in the Derby.

Andrew's interest in horse racing started at Durham University when he was often found in the bookies rather than the library! Having owned horses for over 10 years his finest moment came when Jim Crowley swept late to win The Cambridgeshire Handicap at Newmarket on Credit Swap. Sadly, due to business commitments hosting clients at The Ryder Cup, Andrew was not there and was only able to listen to the race on his mobile phone!!
