Leading rider for Godolphin William Buick is very eager to get the season started and is over the moon that racing could return to Britain as soon as next week.
The Norwegian born rider has some huge upcoming rides for the season, no bigger than the superstar Pinatubo who is a very short favourite for the 2000 Guineas and is currently unbeaten on all six of his starts.
Buick has been keeping busy in this off period from racing and has now expressed he is ready for all the big events and is looking forward to superb meetings taking place so close to each other.

“They’re so important at the moment and probably will be for a while, but if that’s what it takes to get racing back, we will all adhere to that.”
