If you ask most trainers who have ridden which pressure is greater - watching your horse or riding it - they will tell you it is harder watching it because you have no control over what happens.

You don't have to be Einstein to see that horse racing is dangerous. Those two ambulances driving behind you aren't there for the scenery. I will never get over the fatalities of colleagues. It is the saddest and toughest part of this sport.

A smart phone essentially creates a dossier of your travels, and consumers have no control over who will eventually see that information.

No matter what happens to you, you can maintain your own control about what you believe and who you are.

The one word you use in military flying is duty. It's your duty. You have no control over outcome, no control over pick-and-choose. It's duty.

There is no place for arrogance or complacency in racing because you are up there one minute and on your backside the next.
