Hi

Not too sure if she was boosting her ego.
Her strategy is plain to see, she goes to the outside and stays
there for the first lap to keep out of trouble.
Poor Cheers had to go the long way around.

The last you see her is on the outside quite a way back.

Then what ever happened to get an F happened and she
came home most likely running on adrenalin.

If you ever see the run in you can hear some of the the crowd
shouting and booing but I think that because they did not know
it was a female rider and the circumstances.

As I mentioned there was some money 'ridding on her' to finish.

Horrible sport to get involved in Horse Racing.
You have to accept that some things happen and you have
to overcome it. I never could.

The gloom that covers a whole yard when an empty box returns
is awful. And the other horses seem to know, I know that
sounds soppy and silly...but they do.

There is a site that has been recording race horse deaths since 2007.
To date it is 664.
(a lot use that horrible word 'destroyed'. Our last horse was 'destroyed.'
It's not the correct term.)

Worcestershire is helping to address the lack of women playing chess. We have just won the MCCU u120 championships with a team that is one third women i.e. 4 players out of 12. Two from Halesowen and two from Redditch.
