We put five questions to four of the riders competing in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup...

(Hayley Turner - can do hair... can gas-bag)

Hayley Turner

Favourite racecourse
Ascot, I also like York, Newbury and the July course

Biggest moment in racing
When I won on Rawdon at Haydock, my first winner without my claim, otherwise it was Dream Ahead winning the July Cup

Pet hate
Bad manners, people who don't say please and thank you or getting asked repetitive questions

Biggest ambition
I have achieved way more than I ever expected so anything else is a bonus

If I wasn't a jockey I'd be . . .
My sisters says I would be a good hairdresser because she says I'm good at hair and can talk a lot of rubbish

(Emma-Jayne Wilson - hates people driving too slow in the overtaking lane... don't we all!)

Woodbine is my home, but Ascot is up there as well

People driving slow in the fast lane

Always being asked for tips at the races

Biggest ambition
Coming from a little island like the Seychelles I have achieved so much more than I expected. Whatever comes along now I'll be grateful

If I wasn't a jockey I'd be . . .
A pilot. My dad was in charge of the airport on the Seychelles and I would always fly with him on the small aircraft
