In Detail

He put his life on the line to go from 36 year old, 12 stone, smoking, drinking, (and non-riding) business consultant to a 9 stone jockey competing in his first televised race in just 12 months to prove the power of the 'Ten Rules for Taming Tigers'. Jim has been profiled by the BBC and RTE, appeared in the Daily Telegraph and the Racing Post and has written in Finance Week, Human Capital Managements and Personnel Today.
