Cheltenham Charity Race - March

To be fair, it was only after he met me that he set about joining the upper echelons of society.......

:whistle:
 
To be fair i was warned that my chances were slim of getting in for the march one. Its all about publicity etc. When you are up against Hemmings son and ALex Hammond etc its going to be a struggle to get picked. Should have a better chance of getting in to the October one and if i tell them i'm a pal of Grassy's I'm sure I'll be a shoe in! :D
 
We need to get you in the media spotlight for a crack at 2014. Would you like an agent?!
 
Im working on it. I thought maybe start with a streak on Gold Cup day as part of a Father for Justice campaign.

'Fathers for Bigger Tadgers" possibly more apposite. :D

We should plot this one up.

Give it plenty of chat on the forums for the next 10 months. "This Digger from the North is some pilot; like AP McCoy, but with better hair and teeth".

Drive the price into a spiral.

Then lay the tail out of his charge on the exchanges two-minutes before post-time, safe in the knowledge that one look in OTB's wardrobe, will convince any inquisitive BHA gendarmes that falling-off was only a matter of time, rather than a nefarious act of fraud.

I'm being completely serious.

Cant do tomorrow, sunshine. Being whisked-off to Cameron House on Loch Lomond for some nipper-free R&R. Will bell you on Monday to sort out a scoop next week.

Talking Horses: the new Facebook. :D
 
Against! I was on the Jeremy Vine show today slating him. (I really need to get back to work!) :D
 
Yet again a closed shop of entries. No idea why they even advertise now.


The fifth renewal of the charity race, which has raised over £800,000 so far for Cancer Research UK, sees a line-up of jockeys from all walks of life, some of whom currently work in racing and others that have careers outside the sport.

Alongside Rishi Persad, the riders are Morgan Stanley banker Kieran Ryan; Development Director at Great British Racing Nigel Roddis; Dubai-based Sheikh Samir Mirdad; Emma Cook who works at Cheltenham Racecourse; Michelle Turner a Director at Pertemps; Point-to-Point enthusiast Heather Kemp; Wexford trainer Bernadette Murphy; assistant trainer to David Bridgwater, Lucy Bridgwater; County Meath businessman Douglas Taylor; student Tom O'Neill and Cheltenham businesswoman Alexia Buckwell.
