Queally inwardly revelling in all the fun on The Tin Man

Tom Queally waited four years for a horse as good as The Tin Man to come along, so he's making the most of it. Not that you would have noticed probably.

Queally has never been one to stand up in the stirrups and punch the air, and while ITV viewers might have spotted him quietly removing his goggles after the Diamond Jubilee and tossing them to somebody out of shot, this was a blink-and-you-missed-it gesture with none of the flamboyance of a Christophe Soumillon.

By his own admission, Queally is something of an enigma even to those he works alongside, but his laid back demeanour should not be mistaken for a lack of passion or ambition.
