Alex has been a Sky Sports News presenter and our resident racing expert since 2003. She joined us following the demise of the Racing Channel, where she had worked for the previous five years, and soon became a regular on Good Morning Sports Fans, which includes her daily racing round-up and tips. In her time with Sky she has also presented the Horse of the Year Show, the Quad Bike Championships and used her racing expertise on the The Winning Post, with Jeff Stelling. Alex has also worked on radio for Talksport, written a racing column in the Daily Mail - and she still writes a weekly piece here on skysports.com for SkyBet. Before broadcasting, her racing life started out at Sheikh Hamdan's Shadwell Stud working in the pedigree department. After that she moved to Yorkshire as a secretary and work rider for Jack and Lynda Ramsden and had around 50 rides on the flat as an amateur. She is still a keen show jumper to this day.
