In Part 1 trainer Colin Little talks about the shock he received to learn that Caulfield will close as a training base in 2023.

He talks of his early life riding ponies on the racecourse and his short career as an apprentice jockey.

He’s never forgotten his first city winner as a trainer - a win that clinched a premiership for a famous jockey.

He pays tribute to the wonderful El Segundo, the best horse he’s ever trained.
