After an injury this October put him on the sideline for much of the autumn, he is now preparing to return to the saddle in the next few weeks. Beschizza grew up in British racing's largest training centre, which inspired his passion for racing. "I was pretty much born and raised in Newmarket, the horseracing capital of England.
