New Series - "It's My Job" - Premiere - "The Exercise Rider"
Well done! Worth watching. 
http://youtu.be/QRHbd7ZN2w8
The series premiere of "It's My Job" goes behind the scenes at Keeneland Race Course with Damien Rock, one of the primary exercise riders for trainer Charles Lopresti.
A native of Ireland, Rock is a graduate of the Racing Academy and Centre of Education at The Curragh in County Kildare, Ireland. He worked as an apprentice jockey for three years after graduating from the jockey school, winning six races from 113 mounts for trainer Michael Grassick.
Rock has since worked almost exclusively as an exercise rider in Ireland, Dubai, and the U.S., for such prominent trainers as Shug McGaughey, Christophe Clement, Erwin Sharpay, and Leo O'Brien. He started with Lopresti in 2011 and is the regular rider of the stable's leading runner, Grade 1 winner and 2012 Ben Ali Stakes (G3) winner Wise Dan.

That was a good show, thanks!
I feel like he does, can't imagine what I would have done if not working with horses.
Horses are a life long passion and some of us are lucky we can follow it.
You can hear the happiness in his voice.
