COUNTDOWN TO CHELTENHAM

"STILL LOVING IT"

 

"Lee Mottershead visits the champion and finds him relaxed but just as passionate as ever about the sport he loves

 

Yes, yes, yes a great feature, loving it too. A big thank you for all you both do including you Lee.  How will next week's racing pan out to be? I am wondering anything can happen at this meeting can't it.

A MILITARY OPERATION

LOGISTICS

Nicholas Godfrey investigates the logistics involved in getting horses to the festival and looking after them once they have arrived. Yes, yes  yes  a great feature.

 

EQUUS ZONE  

  TO WELCOME THE HORSES AND THEIR MINDERS

The horses rights and needs come first to include all those who mind the horses
The horses and their minders  do not come last, they must always come first.

 

We do not want a war. We want our sport run fairly any and all dangerous interference issues will not be tolerated, every rider needs to know that before leaving the weighing room before each and every race,  on each and every race day to work as a constant reminder to all riders.

 

Any and all riders bared from using the whip in the last two furlongs of each and every race, on each and every race day, instead they ride their horses out over the last two furlongs using hands and heels only.

 

No rider takes another horses ground.  if he does  he will be disqualified for careless dirty riding. You allow your horse sight of each and every hurdle or chase fence we do not want horses or their riders lying badly injured and dying  out on the racetrack. The sun can be very blinding as well a key fact that needs caution.  Jumps need dolling off, removed completely if this becomes an issue.

 

Henderson hit by Tent injury scare. But trainer insists star still on target for Champion Hurdle

 

"Nicky Henderson said it would be "very unlucky" if injury effected the horse's participation on Tuesday.

Page 3 what a lovely photograph of My Tent Or Yours: his expression amazing like he is thinking of McCoy's ask  (from the saddle)   "well  if you must, I'll do my best for you" a big scopie  kind of a horse,  quietly confident in his rider.
