Marcus has many personal anecdotes to draw on for his writing career, from his 20 years as an amateur jockey.
Winning the Grand National with Mr. Frisk 
Competing in the Velka Pardubicka in the Czech Republic
Racing in Russia in the early 90's
Recently covering The Derby and Royal Ascot he describes the influences on putting the articles together for The Daily Telegraph and how he has to react to events, such as the horses escaping from the Household Cavalry in Central London that day, possibly his biggest reach in readership for the year.
