Michael Buckley has been in the racing game for close to 50 years, having picked up his first horse way back in 1974, a scrubby-looking ex-Flat animal called Game Moss, who promptly won his first race and ensured a love affair with the sport that has lasted five decades.

Since then, he’s owned some belters, including The Proclamation, Spirit Son, Toast of New York, and now, Constitution Hill, who may just be the best of the lot!
