Backing Venetia Williams' Chasers In November with Andrew Mount

Forster thoroughly approved of Tom Dreaper, Arkle's trainer, not least because of Dreaper's contention that "there'd only be one thing worse than a Flat race, and that would be a hurdle race". Forster famously declared: "One day I'm going to stand for Parliament and, if I get in, my first Bill will be to abolish Flat racing and my second to do away with hurdlers."He dismissed the Triumph Hurdle, saying: "It doesn't count. It's a Flat race."

I think Venetia Williams might agree with this.
