Sean Raymond's Articles

An experienced racing writer and interviewer, who loves nothing more than a cold wet afternoon at Wincanton or Taunton in the middle of the winter.

A regular writer and Editor for www.jumpsracing.co.uk over the past decade, and an original member of the The Jumps Racing Podcast, like many it was the Grand National that first lead Sean to the racing world - with the race in the early 90s setting a fire that has remained ever since.

Never short of an opinion or two, he is looking forward to getting stuck in over the next 12 months and will be counting down the days until the big meetings.
