The castaway in Desert Island Discs this week is the jockey and racing journalist Lord Oaksey. He'll be talking to Sue Lawley about how he decided to give up a career in the law to become a junior racing correspondent on the Daily Telegraph and about his time as an amateur jockey when he rode 200 winners and nearly won the Grand National in 1963.
