12a: Hard As Nails.

Bloodstock agent Colm Sharkey is guest for the latest episode which gets its title from Sharkey's assessment of Lion Guest, a horse in which I had a share, after he rode it in a race at Hexham. Having taken the decision to give up what had been a promising career in the saddle to go to university aged 25, Sharkey later moved into buying and selling racehorses, a sphere in which he's made quite an impression.
