Ha! Having grown up in a family who love thoroughbred horse-racing, nothing quite beats the thrill of watching a horse run and win - especially if its connected to your family! It's very exciting!
Excuse the quality of these photographs, but I took them off the telly!
At the starting gate!

The jockey - Muzi
Colin being interviewed after the race I am convinced that when horse racing became a professional sport during the reign of Queen Anne between 1702 and 1714 you would be sure to have found one of my ancestors in the crowd! We're not a family of gamblers, and my Mum and I aren't really interested, but our boys love it!
You go guys! I'm one mighty proud Sister!
