We had an interview with Richard Knight of Darley. Mark said: "I've always found Richard to be very professional in everything he does. He is very likeable and has a great personality. I am sure he will go far in the bloodstock world. And with Darley's new additions and constant investment in stallions, they will surely unearth a world star soon!"
