Thanks DG.
Just getting my voice back after some extremely unladylike screaming at the telly box! The dogs fled in terror behind the sofa...:lol:
But I really can’t believe a plan came off so well. When the owner rang me (I am first point of contact on Wessex Pointing website) for recommendations for a trainer, initially he was thinking of Rose Loxton. At the time Rose’s cancer had returned so she declined the horse. So I suggested Will and put them in touch. Although he has only pretty recently set up training, he’s been the best Pointing jockey (and champion) for years. He literally is the AP of the Pointing world!
The owner, John Studd, bred the horse as well and it’s been his lifelong dream just to have a runner at the festival. To actually achieve that...with a home bred...that actually goes and wins is more than the stuff of dreams.
I spoke to Will after he won at Kimble and he told me this was probably the best horse he had ridden Pointing so I knew then I had to back it for the Foxhunters. And after sending him a congratulatory text yesterday, he was humble enough to reply “Thanks so much. It all happened because of you. It’s not really sunk in yet.” How nice is that!

[QUOTE="jinnyj, post: 2375212, member: 65066"] Thanks DG. Just getting my voice back after some extremely unladylike screaming at the telly box!
