We are closing in on the New Year, as 2014s busy horse racing schedule comes to a close, after another exhilarating 12 months of amazing action.

Into the Wind set to improve at Plumpton
The New One was the star of Cheltenham’s two-day International meeting winning the feature 2m Hurdle for Sam and Nigel Twiston-Davies.

When thinking of horse racing, our minds avert to the daring outfits, big hats, bright colours, and of course the beautiful horses. But what’s often overlooked is that, each day, jockeys get up at the crack of dawn to train, drive hundreds of miles to their races and put themselves in constant danger of injury – all to ensure they are performing at the highest level and taking the sport we love to new heights.
