yes I hope to. It's a lovely ride, expensive especially if you don't seek sponsorship, but such an unusual venue and sheer honour to be allowed onto the turf and all-weather tracks and for a very good cause, Macmillan Cancer Relief.
 
Would love to go again - haven't done in YEARS !! (Back when they had a few jumps along back straight & the photographer !!) Nearly picked Frankie Dettori (& Walter Swinburn) up on mine and carried them off as they were waiting for a light aircraft to pick them up to go to races somewhere else !!
 
i'd love to go but being a bit of a nervous rider im now not so sure, have heard its all a bit mad??? also my cobs only just turnt 4 and it might be abit much for the poor boy?! Or he might enjoy it thoroughly!! think 2 others from my yard are going... is it as mad as every says? id do it mainly in walk and trot with a few long canters, dont think my cob would manage a gallop and not sure my nerves would hold up for that either!!!
