Sean Quinlan has been told he is like a good red wine – he’s getting better with age.
In the midst of one of his most successful campaigns, he today rides the hope of the north Sounds Russian in the Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham where, by his own admission, he has a poor record.
When he first came to England, Cheltenham was one of his local tracks but, now based in Cumbria, he returns as one of the season’s form riders with 48 wins as he bids to follow his best ever score of 78 last season.
