Ten quickfire questions: Adam Wedge reflects on a groundbreaking year
In the first of our quickfire question and answer features, Stayers' Hurdle-winning rider Adam Wedge shares his thoughts
Give your season a mark out of ten

It's hard to pick between the two Grade 1 races I won. The first, with Esprit Du Large in the Henry VIII Novices' Chase, gave me a lot of satisfaction, because it was from Evan [Williams], and William and Angela Rucker. That meant a lot.
