I am good at hair and can talk a lot of rubbish
We put five questions to four of the riders competing in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup
Hayley Turner
Favourite racecourse
Ascot, I also like York, Newbury and the July course
Biggest moment in racing
When I won on Rawdon at Haydock, my first winner without my claim, otherwise it was Dream Ahead winning the July Cup
Pet hate
Bad manners, people who don't say please and thank you or getting asked repetitive questions
Biggest ambition
I have achieved way more than I ever expected so anything else is a bonus
If I wasn't a jockey I'd be . . .
My sister says I would be a good hairdresser because she says I'm good at hair and can talk a lot of rubbish
Emma-Jayne Wilson
Favourite racecourse
Woodbine is my home, but Ascot is up there as well
Biggest moment in racing
Winning the Queen's Plate was the biggest highlight of my career. It was a goal on my list as an apprentice and it is Canada's horse race. I am very proud to have that feather in my cap
Pet hate
People driving slow in the fast lane
Biggest ambition
To be a good mother. That's a new one
If I wasn't a jockey I'd be
Wildlife rehabilitator or veterinarian
Keita Tosaki
Favourite racecourse
Tokyo
Biggest moment in racing
Winning the Kashiwa Kinen on Furioso
Pet hate
Losing any race
Biggest ambition
To win the Japanese Derby and the Arc de Triomphe
If I wasn't a jockey I'd be . . .
A schoolteacher
Anthony Delpech
Favourite racecourse
In South Africa, Greyville; in Hong Kong, Sha Tin; and Dubai, Nad Al Sheba, I used to love that track
Biggest moment in racing
Winning the Sheema Classic on World Cup night and winning six Group 1 races in Hong Kong on Vengeance Of Rain and the Durban July, our biggest race, four times
Pet hate
Always being asked for tips at the races
Biggest ambition
Coming from a little island like the Seychelles I have achieved so much more than I expected. Whatever comes along now I'll be grateful
If I wasn't a jockey I'd be . . .
A pilot. My dad was in charge of the airport on the Seychelles and I would always fly with him on the small aircraft
