Richard Quinn (jockey)
Life and career
After leaving Bannockburn High School in 1977, aged 15, he moved to York to work as a stable lad. This career led to Quinn moving to work for Paul Cole in Lambourn for 17 years (1981-1998). After some years as a freelance jockey, he joined Henry Cecil in Newmarket (2000-2004). Quinn has raced with owners Prince Fahd bin Salman (1990-1991) and John L. Dunlop. Among other victories, Quinn has achieved 26 victories at Goodwood Racecourse. He briefly retired in 2006, only to return to racing early the next year.
Quinn now lives in Great Shefford.

gollark: Even if Discord somehow managed to block selfbots, which I don't think they can do in practice, it would be possible to do something ridiculous like... run Discord in one of those headless browser things, and read out messages and whatnot.
gollark: I think trying to restrict this information from spreading around is... about as effective as DRM, really, for the reason that you can kind of control who gets information but not how it's used or spread out after they do.
gollark: Bots running on a user account instead of a bot one.
gollark: Not technically, they are explicitly.
