Excellent! Thanks for posting. I'd love to be at the rails to see, hear and feel that! The jockeys looked like tiny toys when they were led down to the start.

Flying Feathers Maiden Stakes - what a great name for the race

From what I can gather it was for charity and to promote shires as an endangered breed

 

[Kenzo]

Ahhh haaa brilliant!

 

[Boxers]

Amazing! I bet the ground shook!

That was brilliant! What a lovely sight! And they all, horses and jockeys, looked like they loved it! Bet the ground shook under those huge feet ! Really enjoyed that, thank you for posting it!

Absolutely loved it!

Names were excellent..."Hercules is mounting a challenge!"

It was awesome and the ground did shake and the race goers applauded the shires as they came into the parade ring. They behaved beautifully. Plans to run again next year so look out for it!
