Indian jockey
“Riding at Ascot is like a cricketer walking out at Lord’s or a tennis player stepping onto Centre Court. This is my Lord’s, my Wimbledon. But this journey goes beyond personal glory — I want to show the world that Indian jockeys can shine on the global stage.”

“Seeing Frankie Dettori’s ‘Magnificent 7’ on video — even in grainy footage — had a magical effect on me. I was just a kid, but watching him win all seven races that day at Ascot was the moment I knew I wanted to follow this path.”
