 On Friday at Cheltenham Un Beau Roman and Doitforthevillage both went looking to take the prize in the feature race of the day, The BetVictor Handicap Chase. Un Beau Roman was looking to retain his title after winning the race last year. Meanwhile, Doitforthevillage has been progressing we throughout the year, winning 5 races, and was now in a position to take on Un Beau and the rest of the 9 strong field. It was an exciting race, in front of a packed out Cheltenham Grandstand. Both horses took a little time to get into their stride, but it was Doitforthevillage who was out in front two out from home. Un Beau Roman finished strongly under Nick Scholfield, suggesting there is more to come from the former Cheltenham winner. But none of the field could catch Doitforthevillage, who powered up the famous Cheltenham hill to win the race and secure Paul Henderson Racing’s 3rd Cheltenham winner, retaining the BetVictor Handicap Chase for the yard.

I used to date a racer. He is dead now. He was halting properly on a red light when a speeding truck threw his car in the air. It's funny we have always thought he will die racing. He still died inside his car. He may not be racing but I am sure he still does in the afterlife. I wasn't really that close to my grandparents, maybe I am too young to be really good friends with them so I guess this racer kid would be the only one I knew personally who is now in the afterlife.
