Daniel Ross

Daniel Ross is a Los Angeles-based freelance journalist, who covers horse racing for the Thoroughbred Racing Commentary, the Thoroughbred Daily News and the Guardian. Before making the dubious decision of turning to writing to pay the bills, he worked for a number of jump and Flat trainers in the UK, Ireland, Australia and the US, including Alan King, Gai Waterhouse, and Neil Drysdale. His fleeting career as an amateur jump jockey was an exercise in studied ineptitude. Follow him @1danross.
