She was the owner/rider of the ACE,she would have made Val Jackson look like Dunwoody in comparison to herself. On the way home we stopped at a motorway services and I remember Frank sitting at the back of the car, drinking a cup of tea and eating a jelly which he had just bought.

Cousin Pascal is a 12-1 chance for the St James's Place Festival Hunter Chase at Cheltenham, although O'Shea suggested he would go straight to Aintree after his win at Haydock on Saturday.The authority of his wins and effortless jumping and galloping when in his prime, as much as his big-race triumphs and valiant efforts in the Gold Cup and Grand National, mark him out as the strongest candidate to be regarded as the greatest hunter chaser.

Willie Mullins' charge inflicted a second narrow defeat on a David Christie runner when beating Vaucelet in the Punchestown Champion Hunter Chase. The family went to Haydock yesterday, including the bride and groom from the wedding, and we got well looked after. The 2017/18 season will be remembered for the loss of the Raymond Smith Hunter Chase, which was demoted from Leopardstown’s Irish Gold Cup card, following the creation of the Dublin Racing Festival at the Dublin course. Mullins has transformed Its On The Line from a maiden hunter chase winner at five to reach the top of the tree at six.Ted Walsh’s stable star was a former high-class chaser as a Grade 2 winner who had got within a length of Grade 1 success in the 2015 Hennessy at Leopardstown. We eventually got a meal at a restaurant we used regularly at Husbands Bosworth, and they stayed open late for us.

He completed the season with a hat-trick of hunters' chase triumphs plus a fall, and the following year he emerged as an outstanding six-year-old when recording five hunters' chase wins and second place in the 1978 Whitbread (now Bet365) Gold Cup at Sandown behind the Tommy Stack-ridden Strombolus. Saunders' role in the success will never be underestimated, and after he retired the horse failed to win in another two seasons of racing despite assistance from some of the best professional jockeys, yet Grittar's life revolved around his owner/breeder/trainer Frank Gilman, a man of many parts but with his heart in Britain's smallest county, Rutland.
