#BettingPeople Interview MATTIE BATCHELOR Jockey & Presenter 2/4
Mattie Batchelor has been described as one of racing’s good guys. He’s enjoyed a career spanning over 20 years and ridden over 300 winners. He’s also well known in racing as an hilarious raconteur and presenter something he’s looking to pursue after hanging up his boots. Meeting Mattie Batchelor.
Part 2 Mattie talks about how despite living within sight of the racecourse at Brighton, or at least the hill it’s on he had no knowledge or interest in horse racing. He talks about his first experience of riding the Grand National fences and a near miss getting a mount in the National itself.
