Tom said in response to becoming Tote Ambassador: “I am thrilled to be teaming up with the Tote team as an ambassador to provide an exclusive insight into life as a flat jockey. I loved watching the content that the Tote filmed with Danny Mullins and I am excited to get going with the team as the flat season starts to take shape with the Derby and Royal Ascot just around the corner. Having ridden around the world, I am all too aware of how vital pool betting is to the sport’s financial ecosystem in the most successful racing nations. I look forward to supporting the Tote team and their work to grow the prominence of pool betting here in the UK which is an essential element to the future success of British racing.”

Alex Frost, Chief Executive of the Tote, said: “We are excited to have Tom join the Tote team as our ambassador, alongside the brilliant Danny Mullins. Tom will provide racing fans with his thoughts on the rides he will have on the biggest race meetings of the summer. As we look to the future, growing the Tote and working with the Hong Kong Jockey Club and our partners to showcase the best of British and Irish racing via World Pool, it is fantastic to have someone as talented and engaging as Tom join our team.”

Tom joins the Tote stable alongside Danny Mullins who has been a Tote Ambassador since 2021 which has included two in-depth short films, called the “The Journey to Cheltenham”, which has so far been viewed nearly 50,000 times.
