His third son Ben has just accepted an offer to ride work and point to point with Hereford based trainer Richard Lee and various other point to point trainers - Martin himself has an unraced 5 year old Highfield Road presently with Mike Hammond. His youngest son Joe has just sat his AS levels and is looking forward to continuing his education whilst enjoying being a keen footballer and cricketer in local teams.

Bill has been involved in horse racing for many years as both a jockey and an owner - he started his career over 40 years ago with Walter Nightingale and was with Martin and Gary when they purchased Magic Sky last October out of a Selling Hurdle Race which Martin sponsored at Uttoxeter. Bill is an avid Liverpool fan and attends most games at Anfield - that is when matches do not clash with racing commitments!!

This is Gary's first foray into racehorse ownership as his main sporting interest is cricket -being an active member of Caldy Cricket Club - He is a keen supporter of Everton and also is involved in local amateur football
