Graham Cunningham became absorbed by horse racing from the moment he hopped over the wall of St Edmund Arrowsmith High school to see Silver Buck and Night Nurse do battle at nearby Haydock Park.

After ditching a career in Law, he followed his heart rather than his head to "give it a year" with the Timeform organisation.

Nine years on, with the law books still gathering dust, he moved on to the Sporting Life and has since spent four years apiece as a reporter on the Racing Post and as racing correspondent on the London Evening Standard.

After a year spent living and betting in Geneva, Graham has returned to the UK to combine his Racing UK broadcasting work with the ongoing tussle with Betfair's backers and layers.
