Thoroughbred racing is really my true passion. I'm living my dream.

I've had a passion for horses since I was very young - I used to sit on the floor in front of the races on television and pretend to be a jockey - and I first began reading the racing form on the set of 'The Partridge Family.'

He's totally consumed by racing, ... It's a passion. Everybody who succeeds highly is driven by what they're involved in, whether it's artists, writers, athletes or whatever.

I bought my first horse when I was 15. I always loved racing and I started studying about breeding and I've been doing it now for 30 years, so I have some credibility.

I've really sensed that people have an affection for me.

Joining Real Madrid is a dream come true.
