On the 7th of September the RACE trainees were lucky enough to get a visit from the world famous Mick Kinane. This was the first of many opportunities for the RACE students to appear on the big screen, as Mick’s visit was recorded for a documentary for Setanta. The trainees got an opportunity ask Mick many questions about his experience in the racing industry and asked for some advice about their own futures too.
The documentary was recorded in the Simulator Room at RACE. Mick was able to use his skills to critique a simulator demonstration by the jockey, Ross Coakely. Afterwards some of the trainees got a chance to hone their skills on the simulator too.
The event wrapped up with Mick partaking in a few photographs and bidding the trainees fair well and wishing them the best of luck in the near future. Overall it was an insightful visit for the trainees and we look forward to seeing them in the documentary sometime soon.
