Jockey great Steve Cauthen aiming to return to Royal Ascot as an owner

Legendary jockey Steve Cauthen is hoping to become a Royal Ascot winner again - 31 years after he retired from the saddle.

During a prolific career Cauthen became one of the greatest jockeys of all time, in the US where he rode Affirmed to Triple Crown success in 1978 aged 18 and after he moved to Britain where he was champion on three occasions during the eighties.
