Naunton Cathy Turton 01451 850668
My headline for last week's racing was 'What an Imp', referring to the winning horse Imperial Commander who won the world's most prestigious National Hunt horse race at Cheltenham a week last Friday, Gold Cup day. Naunton got quite a mention in the national press and on TV as the horse is trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies at Grange Hill Farm (any of you remember the barn where we had our first barn dance after shovelling out the muck). Part of the farm is in Naunton, but we had to share the honours with Guiting Power of course and a parade took place on Saturday morning at the Hollow Bottom Pub after great excitement there on Friday evening. There was a lot of pride flowing that night - the stable lads and lasses, all part of a grand team, the magnificent horse himself, so good natured, who deservedly stole the limelight from Kauto Star and Denman and seemed to enjoy the crowds around him with his ears pricked and head held high. Then there was the ecstatic trainer, Nigel, triumphant after so much hard work, who was also a proud father as his teenage son Sam won the Foxhunters Chase on Baby Run straight after the Gold Cup race. The proud jockey, Paddy Brennan, excitedly scored again in the last race on Pigeon Island, owned by Raymond Mould, ex the Grange at Guiting Power.See the full content of this document
