Jeremy Wray said: “I love my flat racing, especially two-year-olds like Dick Bos and I can’t envisage a time when I would be without a horse or two, no matter how busy I am with Swindon Town.

“Hopefully Dick Bos is as exciting as some of the youngsters we have had in the past.

“Hopes are high for the colt and I’m looking forward to him running.”
