Edward understands the importance of excellent communication with owners and the increasingly vital role of digital technology and social media in horseracing. He is determined to build on the achievements of his father, who trained for 46 years and won plenty of good races with inexpensive horses.
James’s retirement has presented Edward with an opportunity to make his own mark in a sport he has loved since childhood.
