In this episode of When Nicole Met, brought to you by Bedmax, Nicole catches up with 17-year-old Oscar Fitzgerald — calm under pressure, quick to learn, and already making waves on the international circuit.

With Supercilious, Our Old Fella, and Moonlight Charmer in his string, Oscar's got the horsepower — and the hunger — to chase down some serious 2025 goals. From breezing young racehorses to training with legends like Pippa Funnell and William Fox-Pitt, he's soaking up every bit of insight on his way to the top.

They talk horsepower, headspace, and why sometimes your dad (Grand National-winning jockey Mick Fitzgerald) is the best mindset coach you've got.
