Hold your Horses: Meet the first jockey with one eye to ride in a British horse race

Guy Mitchell is the first jockey with one eye to ride in a British horse race. He completed the feat at Newbury in July.

Guy has lived with just one eye since the age of six, following the discovery of a tumour.

The racecourse doctor has been telling Sportshour about his burning desire to continue the racing tradition in his family and how he had to take the equivalent of a driving test to ride a horse.
