Racing fantastic, course superb, we went racing on the sat which was all flat, and at the end of the day were able to walk the course for the main race, the dreaded Taxis fence is enormous, and is the 4th fence in, two plainish hedges, water then 4-5ft hedge with slightly sloping top about 2 m wide, then a yawning big ditch on the landing side prob another 2-3 m from base of the hedge,

then on to an irish bank. the double of hedges with one stride was unusual and they jump water 3 times one with a drop on the otherside.

The tour opperator we travelled with hired a private box right at the top of the stands, with buffet all day the views of the course spectacular.

About 15 in the feild in the big race, was won by Chezch horse,Sixteen, OH backed it, english horse, Ferdy Murphy's came 4th.

What an exciting trip. Some friends of mine went a few years ago. Sixteen is a mare I think. I wondered if there was an English horse in it anywhere.
