Saturday 20th March 2010.
The latest report on Brenda is fine; we go down to the clinic in Tarifa every day to have the wound checked and the dressing changed but it is going to take another week or so for us to get the all clear. Yesterday as we arrived the Doctor was called out on an emergency and was just getting in the ambulance with the Para medics when we arrived so we had to waite for over an hour before a relief Doctor came in!
Over the last two days we have been watching the Festival meeting from Cheltenham now that the Sky system is back working; The atmosphere has been tremendous and the weather just kept fine, yesterday was the final day and was the best so far, the excitement built as it became time for the Gold Cup to start, the race did not go to plan as the favorite Kauto Star fell and then the second favorite Denman was beaten by Imperial Commander from the stables of Nigel Twiston Davies who is a local and well loved trainer, the crowds went mad ! But this was not the end, in the next race, the Christies Foxhunter Chase which is the equalivant race for amateur jockeys was won by Nigel ‘s horse and the winning jockey was his son Sam ! More scenes of jubilation followed !! He was not yet finished as in the last race his horse won again giving him a winning treble of 747-1 !!! Earlier in the day Katie Walsh,Ruby’s sister, won her second race of the Championship so the Irish went mad again. I’am out of breath !
