Come in Tommo!!

There's no mention of a knowledge of racing...so you'd be a shoo in old feller!

Be nice if they had at least put a small mention in the additional attributes , that an interest and some knowledge of horse racing would be helpful in performing the job . 

Why does it not surprise me that it is not mentioned .

Continually following the same path will keep taking you to the same destination .

That's an interesting one!

Brian de Lore is my number one choice.

They turned him down in favor of the CEO of the Warriors [Boy George] last time.

Surely they couldn't get it that wrong again?
