Join Dermott Brereton and his guest David Taggart.

This program and R U OK? are proudly supported by Dare Iced Coffee. When your mate bottles it up. . .a Dare fix won’t fix it. . .but a conversation could. Ask R U OK?

David is a former champion jockey whose 6 group one wins and some 532 career wins bought in nearly $10million in prize money throughout his career. But his dream ride would come to an end prematurely after two horrific falls – the worst at Stoney Creek in March 2007 which he was lucky to survive. He’s had his fair share of challenges since then – just getting out of bed at times has been a major challenge. But he’s back in the industry he loves, on the other side of the microphone this time – as one of the much loved team on SEN Track.
