How Jason Watson went from no background in racing to riding the 1,000 Guineas favourite

Jason Watson had no background in racing before he was appointed first jockey to Roger Charlton and first domestic Group One in 2019. Watson is riding the favourite Quadrilateral in Sunday's 1,000 Guineas. On Saturday he partners Kenzai Warrior in the Qipco 2,00, 000 Guines. He was introduced to racing by Ray Goldstein and Gerry Enright. He won the Stewards Cup at Glorious Goodwood in 2018 and rode Luca Cumani's last Group 1 winner God Given in Italy. His agent chose Mr Charlpton over other trainers.
