Description
Horse racing legend Jessica Harrington sits down with Jarlath seven days on from Rachel Blackmore’s Grand National win to talk about her own remarkable journey. One of the very first female Irish racehorse trainers, Jessica has seen every side of the industry from the bitter disappointments to the glorious triumphs at the biggest events. How does she remain positive when the losses far outweigh the wins? Jarlath digs into her attachment to the animals, their welfare and her previous life representing Ireland at European, World and Olympic levels in three day eventing. Finally Jarlath asks Jessica about stereotypes about male and female horses, how they were extended to humans in the business and how they are gradually getting rolled back with each passing season. Whether you’re a racing fan or not there is something for everyone in this conversation with an Irish sporting pioneer.
