Stephen Molyneux

Stephen's first experience of working in racing came in a little broom cupboard on Blackstock Road in London, the headquarters of the highly-respected Racenews. From there he was lucky enough to stumble across a job opportunity (many thanks Ed Prosser) in Dubai where he worked on a magazine for two years, winning the naps competition in 1999 and securing a £2,000 first prize. It was a case of taking the money and running, declining the opportunity to defend his title and relocating to Halifax where he has been ever since. Stephen is currently a handicapper at Timeform, including for races in Dubai.
