1) Horse you are most looking forward to seeing this season (and why)?
JR: Two horses we are looking forward to are Jamie Railton sales graduates Quiet Reflection (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) and Ribchester (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}). Quiet Reflection was bred by a small breeder in the west country, Paul Gardner, and it is very satisfying when these breeders produce a good horse. She was sold at Doncaster's Silver Sale and looks very quick over five furlongs with cut in the ground. Ribchester was pinhooked by us and sold to Emma Armstrong at Goffs. He is trained by Richard Fahey and has been resold to Godolphin. He is the sort of horse who could win the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas.
2) A stallion who could feature prominently (doesn't have to be first season)?
JR: A stallion who should move forward is Lope de Vega (Ire). Stats are very good but might be a little ground dependant.
3) Positive change you would like to see for the industry for 2016?
JR: A positive change I would like to see would be a fast track to legalised betting in China. It will transform our industry.
