Episode notes

Wilson Renwick is that rarity amongst sportspeople, someone who's competed at a high level in two different sports. After being forced to retire as a successful jump jockey by injuries sustained in a race-fall just a few days before his 2016 wedding - a happy event of which, as a result, he has an only limited memory - the Hawick, Borders-born 39-year-old took advantage of the discovery that he possesses an usually high lung capacity and turned to professional cycling taking part in a string of international events around the globe. Now back in horse-racing, he's bringing to bear his own experiences of the highs and lows of race-riding to become a jockeys' agent and mentor to a growing list of clients. I think you'll find his story a compelling one: thanks for listening.
