Afternoon competition in the Inter Hunt team knock out jumping class in the main arena |
A fternoon as well as evening performances starting from 7am in the morning going through until around 9pm at night.
I have decided to go for the start of the day and look at the Retraining of Racehorses ROR Tatttersalls ridden horse class, divided into two sections, for flat and National Hunt horses.
Her majesty the Queen graced with a visit to watch the class with an interest. Her National Hunt horse Barber shop, who she bred,and in training under rules by Champion trainer Nicky Henderson was under the eye of the judge.
The gelding that ran 24 times winning 8 races,won the section and was then pitted against the flat horse sections first, second and third for the Champuon of the show.
