A bit about me, I'm a National Hunt fan. My favourite racecourse is Cheltenham (it's my local one too), but I also try to get to some of the other meetings each season, so this season so far, Worcester, Chepstow, Aintree, and Haydock. I went to Punchestown last year, my first time racing in Ireland and had a great time.
I love to watch the horses both in the pre-parade and the paddock, I also agree with a recent posting which said there is nothing better than standing close to a fence. It never fails to quicken the pulse, particularly the second last (downhill fence) at Cheltenham.
I was lucky enough to own a share in a grade one winning hurdler, and currently have a small interest in an as yet un-raced filly, who will hopefully run in a bumper before too long. Though she's a chaser in the making.
My favourite races are bumpers, and my long-term ambition is to get involved in the breeding side of horses.
