WHEN I first called Sarah Lynam to set up this interview, she told me she was just looking at a horse and would call me back. Work may have grinded to a halt in many industries in this country, but racing is not one of them. Despite the suspension of fixtures, business continues as normal in many yards.

Sarah is a daughter of multiple Group 1-winning trainer Eddie Lynam and horses were part of her life from the very earliest stage. Despite the family’s affinity with the thoroughbred, her parents, Eddie and Aileen, were keen for her to explore opportunities outside the confines of racing.
