Team Robert Skinner (RS)

When asked why he wanted to ride in the Gaucho Derby, Robert replied with a succinct “Why not?” Can’t argue with that. Robert has ridden “since a wee lad”, currently owns four racehorses which he rides on average three times per week for four or five hours at a time, is an amateur jockey riding point-to-points and has ridden the Grand Military at Sandown a whopping seven times. He has also ridden the Wessex Yeomanry several times (winning once), and competed in the 2014 Mongol Derby. Whew. As a physical training instructor with the Royal Marines for 20+ years he feels he will “hopefully be fit enough with a fair experience on how to survive!”
