Dave Youngman

During my time writing in Horse Racing I have been lucky to have had the great pleasure of writing for both Racing Ahead magazine and the Racing Plus weekly paper - sadly, Racing Plus stopped publishing.

I love the many emails I receive from readers who enjoy my articles, especially when I put up unraced horses for the readers to watch out for.

The unraced Wootton Bassett horse from last season RHETORICAL was a perfect example as it won on debut at Newbury - this horse sadly fractured his pelvis but will be out again before the end of this season.

I first ventured to Newmarket way back in 1965 as a very shy youngster but I fell in love with the town and the racing fraternity.

Henry Cecil became well known to me and I valued his friendship very much. As you see from my photo with Henry I loved spending time at Warren Place in his lovely company.
