This win was dedicated to Tim Caven who sadly died earlier this month.. Tim was involved in GH and would have led the celebrations in some style.

Mikhailovich ran a blinder to finish 3rd considering the ground was far too soft for him.. He struggles with his breathing on that ground.. he will win again, but on his ground.

I was at Taunton where Lady Gwen won the first. She was struggling early on as they went so fast but her stamina kicked in and she won by a couple of lengths.. she was well ridden by our conditional jockey Kai Lenihan..

Thrilled for Richard and Susan Davies who not only own her but also bred her.. Well done to all.

I was not there for long as I drove back up the motorway to Cheltenham to look at the horses that are selling tonight.. If you are interest in getting involved here then do ring me.. we will be able to help you buy something special?
