Gimme Five: Rod Street

What was you favourite racing moment of the year?

RS: The ITV images of the brothers Sheikh Hamad and Sheikh Fahad Al Thani high-fiving over HM The Queen as Roaring Lion won the QEII on QIPCO British Champions Day.

Name a horse that stood out for you in 2018

RS: Roaring Lion. From The Craven Stakes in April to the Breeders' Cup in November, he danced all the dances. As tough as he was talented.

And an outstanding achievement by a breeder, owner or trainer?

RS: The continuing seam of gold unearthed by the pairing of Watership Down Stud's Dar Re Mi (Ire) and Dubawi (Ire).

What's your big hope for 2019?

RS: That all those promising 2-year-olds train on and we enjoy stellar Group 1 contests next summer.

What's your new year's resolution?

RS: No New Year's one as such, as I make resolutions throughout the year. I believe we can always improve ourselves.
