One result
from Newton Abbot today: Fairyinthewind (Alan King/Wayne
Hutchinson) was pulled up in the Novices’ Handicap Hurdle (7 ran). A number
of runners of interest at Chepstow tomorrow: 14:00 Creepy
(Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) – Maiden Hurdle 15:40 Pantxoa (Alan King/Wayne Hutchinson) & Annacotty (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham)
– Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase 16:50 Hail
Tiberius (Martin Keighley/Tom Siddall) – Handicap
Hurdle 17:20
Johnny Og (Martin Keighley/Ollie Garner) – Standard
Open NH Flat Race (Conditional Jockeys & Amateur Riders) I guess Wayne
retains the ride on Pantxoa, as he did today on Fairyinthewind, because he’s won aboard both horses
during the summer whilst Choc was on the sidelines. But I’m sure it will pick up again for Choc
once the season gets into full swing, as there are plenty of horses in the
yard to go round. Channel 4
racing has drawn attention to the fact that Megan Nicholls rides Southfield
Vic for her father in the 17:20 at Chepstow tomorrow, her first ride under
rules. I’ve
already uploaded the photographs I took yesterday, and I’m hoping to begin my
diary this evening. Click here

Currently
unnamed filly by Milan I’ve had a
fabulous day in the beautiful Cotwolds, attending
Martin Keighley’s Owners’ Day. The weather
was warm and sunny ... and Choc was there too. What more could I possibly want? No photos
of Choc today, but lots taken of the horses.
But picture Choc dressed in a light brown tweed jacket, jeans, very shiny brown boots and, I think, a blue shirt with
white collar, plus sunglasses. And
sporting stubble today too – which I can attest to having kissed him on the
cheek ... twice! Unusual, as his face
is usually as smooth as a baby’s bottom!
I shall be
kept busy over the next few days, choosing and uploading the photographs and
writing my diary of the day. I was
very taken by a currently unnamed filly by Milan, pictured above. She is very sweet natured and gentle, my
favourite! Georgian
King, who used to be trained by Alan King, is one of the new inmates of the
yard. Here are photographs of the
horse taken at Kempton Park in November 2008: http://www.choc-thorntons-super-fan.co.uk/PHOTOS%20KEMPTON%2026%20NOV%2008.htm One runner
of interest at Newton
Abbot tomorrow: 15:20 Fairyinthewind

Two
runners of interest at Market Rasen this afternoon and this is how they fared: Duroble Man (Alan King/Choc) finished 4th in the Juvenile
Hurdle (10 ran). Brimham Boy (Martin
Keighley/Ollie Garner) was pulled up in the Handicap Chase (9 ran). Strictly Come Dancing has began for another season
and I thought all the celebrity dancers performed well this weekend, apart
from Tony Jacklin.
And I expect Hairy Biker Dave Myers to be the celebrity who the
general public vote for to stay in the competition for longer than his
dancing talents should dictate ... but that’s not a bad thing, as you need a
good laugh every now and then! Now
looking forward to weekday evenings, between 18:30 and 19:00, when It Takes Two returns! Looking forward to tomorrow ... |

There were
a number of runners of interest at Worcester today, but it was not
the best of days at the office, as this is how they fared: Katie’s Massini (Henry Oliver/Choc) finished 9th in the Intermediate Open NH Flat Race (14
ran). Kyles Faith (Martin
Keighley/Ian Popham) finished 6th in the Maiden
Hurdle (13 ran). Hail
Tiberius (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) finished last
in the Novices’ Handicap Hurdle (11 ran). Bold Tara (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) fell in the Handicap Hurdle Div II (13 ran). I hope she is okay. Two
runners of interest at Market Rasen tomorrow: 13:45 Duroble Man (Alan King/Choc) – Juvenile Hurdle 15:20 Brimham Boy (Martin Keighley/Ollie Garner) – Handicap
Chase Choc has
lost his sponsorship (Lycetts) so is now seeking a
new sponsor. William Kennedy is also
still looking for a new sponsor. Choc rode
out at Martin Keighley’s this morning.
I’m looking forward to the return of Strictly
Come Dancing tonight and tomorrow.
Then, on Sunday, my friend Lesley and I shall be heading into the
Cotswolds to attend Martin Keighley’s Owners’ Day. I’m looking forward to seeing Champion
Court, Seymour Eric, Benbane Head and all the other
horses ... plus, of course, Thomas and Crunchie! |

A number
of runners of interest at Worcester tomorrow, with one for
Choc too: 15:25
Katie’s Massini (Henry Oliver/Choc) – Intermediate Open NH Flat Race 16:00 Kyles Faith (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham)
- Maiden Hurdle 17:10 Hail
Tiberius (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) – Novices’
Handicap Hurdle 17:45 Bold Tara (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) – Handicap Hurdle Div II The Cheltenham 2013/2014 brochure arrived in the
post today – Choc’s bottom appears on the cover
page, he’s aboard my favourite horse, Walkon (the
photo shows mid-race action from the 2012 RSA Chase, which Bobs Worth
won). Sky Calling is shown on page 16,
along with her rider Mark Caswell, having won last October’s charity race. |

From reading
a number of tweets, I discovered that there’s a questions and answers article
with Choc is this week’s RP Weekender newspaper. Well worth a read. As a taster, when asked what worries him most,
Choc said ‘lots of things’
including his ex-wife! Also, he was
asked to tell the readers something that no-one else knows about him ... he
said that he sleeps on the floor at least three nights a week, and admitted
that this was weird! Many happy returns of the day to my niece Kim who
is 21 today – they grow up so fast.
She returns to Sheffield University on Saturday for her final year,
and her brother James heads off to Warwick University on Sunday to begin his
first year. Brother Neil and
sister-in-law Karen’s home will be very quiet with their children away. |

I’m
useless ... I’ve been slaving over a hot DVD player all morning, transferring
recordings from my Sky hard drive.
Then, when I turn my attention to the live racing I dose off just a
few minutes before Choc’s race is run, only to wake
up as the winner passes the line. What
sort of super fan is that? Absolutely
useless!!! Anyway,
today’s results from Uttoxeter are as follows: The Wicked
Kipper (Martin Keighley/Ollie Garner) finished 3rd in the Novices’ Handicap
Hurdle (Div I) (10 ran). Mortlestown (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) finished 7th in the Maiden Hurdle (11 ran). Pollystone (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) finished 6th in the Novices’ Handicap Hurdle (12
ran). Dealing
River (Mrs Caroline Bailey/Choc) finished
10th and Always Bold (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham)
finished 6th in the Handicap Hurdle (15 ran).
The
results may not have gone to plan, but the weather looked beautiful at Uttoxeter today; unlike Hertfordshire which has been grey
and overcast for most of the day. Nice to
see talented mare Aimigayle win at Plumpton today, having raced just once since May 2012. I was
great to meet up with fellow Choc fan, Sandra Stewart, and friends at the Osmonds concert yesterday. Although I feel like a bit of a lightweight
compared to them, as they attend a number of concerts each time the brothers
go on tour. And have travelled
abroad too. I may have my useless
moments as a Choc-fan (above), but I do turn out in all weathers during the National
Hunt season to see my gorgeous hero, so perhaps I’m not such a lightweight in
the world of fandom after all! The good
news is that I’ve now purchased a Hennessy Gold Cup ticket and tickets for
Day 2 and Day 3 of the Cheltenham Festival, so that’s my pre-purchases
completed for the season, apart from maybe Betfair
day (February) at Newbury. Choc rode
out at Martin Keighley’s yard yesterday and Belinda took a number of photos
of and including William: And Choc
tweeted one taken later in the day too: https://mobile.twitter.com/Choc_Thornton/status/381474664238706688/photo/1?screen_name=Choc_Thornton Back to
work tomorrow, no holidays planned until a long weekend in October,
coinciding with Cheltenham and Kempton Park of course! I’m already looking forward to next weekend
when Strictly Come Dancing returns and to visiting the beautiful Cotswolds
for Martin Keighley’s Owners’ Day. J |

National
Hunt racing returns tomorrow, with fixtures at Plumpton
and Uttoxeter. There are runners of interest at the
latter, with Choc having one ride too: 13:40 The
Wicked Kipper (Martin Keighley/Ollie Garner) – Novices’ Handicap Hurdle (Div
I) 14:10 Mortlestown (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham)
– Maiden Hurdle 14:40 Pollystone (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham)
– Novices’ Handicap Hurdle 15:10
Dealing River (Mrs Caroline Bailey/Choc)
& Always Bold (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) –
Handicap Hurdle Hannah
Bishop, who is Mrs Prowting’s racing manager (owner
of Letsby Avenue), has also tweeted a couple of
photographs taken by Les Hurley (official Stratford photographer). William again features in the group
photograph; he was being ‘minded’
by Choc’s mum, Sally, during racing. https://mobile.twitter.com/HannahBishop79?p=s And Choc
reported on twitter that he lost a sock at the gym yesterday!!! It wasn’t me ... although I wouldn’t be adverse to accepting a sock donation from my favourite
jockey, sad person that I am! News that
Big Buck’s is expected to return to racecourse action in January. More Meanwhile
in Ireland, Flemenstar’s owner has switched his
horse from Peter Casey to Tony Martin for the forthcoming season. More I’m looking forward to the Osmonds
concert this evening. Although the
venue is within walking distance of my home, I’ve decided to drive there as
the balls of my feet are sore today and high heels will only exacerbate the
problem ... I’ve been breaking-in my new pair of winter ‘walk to work’ boots for the past two days! The problem is I’m too heavy, I travel too
fast and have been walking in flat comfy moccasins all summer! |

Choc has
tweeted an official photograph of the presentation ceremony following his win
at Stratford on Tuesday: https://mobile.twitter.com/Choc_Thornton/status/380696301886660608/photo/1?screen_name=Choc_Thornton I belong
to a Lotto syndicate at work and was surprised to discover we’d got 4 numbers
on one of our lines last night. So how
much do you think we won? £50, £60 or
maybe even £80? No ... just a measly
£30! I was gutted, especially as the
two jackpot winners netted over £4 million each. The cost of buying a Lotto ticket is
increasing to £2 per line from 05 October ... no wonder everyone I speak to
about this is going to half the number of lines they select in order to keep
the cost the same. It’s a mug’s game
... unless of course you win the jackpot! I was sad to learn that the Aintree Festival
Bumper winner, Killyglass, lost his life at
Stratford on Tuesday; it was his first outing over obstacles. RIP |

My cross
stitch picture has been completed ... and here is a photograph as
promised.
It
measures 10 inches by 11¾ inches and has taken less than 3 weeks of weekend
days and weekday evenings to complete ... but all those days and evenings
have been almost full-on stitching! As a
postscript to yesterday, Choc tweeted to say it had been a great day which
was made even more special by the fact that William had accompanied him to
the races. Obviously
Alan King was pleased to have Choc back in action and with a winner too. More
And Martin
Keighley has also written about Choc’s return in
his blog ... and I love young Harry’s reaction to
the win! More I shall be
at a loose end now that I’ve completed my cross stitch project, but I’m very
much looking forward to attending the Osmond’s American Jukebox tour concert
in St Albans on Saturday. Their tour
schedule is very busy; Friday’s concert takes place in Darlington, Choc’s birthplace.
I’m also looking forward to meeting up with fellow Choc fan, Sandra
Stewart, who coincidently is attending the concert with her friends! The following weekend’s highlight is Martin Keighley’s
Owners’ Day, which I will be attending with my friend Lesley. And I’m hoping to go racing to Cheltenham
and/or Kempton Park in mid-October, if not before. Happy days! |

STOP PRESS CHOC’S
FIRST RIDE FOLLOWING HIS RETURN FROM
INJURY IS A WINNER WELL DONE
CHOC! Choc rode Letsby Avenue to victory at Stratford today ... it was an
arresting ride (sorry I couldn’t resist), his mount winning by 5 lengths from
the game Benny (Benbane Head). And I’d forgotten how nerve-racking it can
sometimes be watching Choc ride live (albeit on TV)! Here is a
run-down of today’s results of interest from Stratford: Midnight
Thomas (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) finished 6th in
the Novices’ Hurdle (9 ran). Letsby Avenue (Alan King/Choc)
won, Benbane Head (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) finished 2nd and Court In Session (Martin
Keighley/Richard Johnson) was pulled-up in the Handicap Hurdle (9 ran). Choc’s 1st winner of the season.
It was also a come-back run by Court In Session, following a recent
back operation. In A
Heartbeat (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) finished 5th
in the Standard Open NH Flat Race (13 ran). Here is
the race report on the At The Races page. More Artist and
cartoonist Darren Bird has tweeted a cartoon of Choc, to celebrate the win: https://mobile.twitter.com/DarrenBirdie/status/380016608774606848?p=v I can no
longer view twitter photos via my laptop so have no idea if these links still
work; I have to use mobile twitter until I update my system! But you will be able to find the thread
using a smartphone. My cross
stitch picture is almost finished, I now just need to sew the sparkly thread
which forms the water ripples. The
subject matter is African equine in nature and all will be revealed shortly. Not liking
this wet weather ... my trouser knees were soaked by the time I reached home
today. And that is despite dodging all
the vehicles which splashed through nearby road puddles on the walk back to
my abode. But at least I soon warmed
up when I switched on the TV to watch Choc’s
race! Another
break now until National Hunt racing re-commences, next Sunday, with fixtures
at Uttoxeter and Plumpton. Choc is back ... Happy Days!!! |

The time has
finally arrived for Choc to return and he has one riding engagement at Stratford tomorrow;
there are other runners of interest too: 17:05
Midnight Thomas (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) –
Novices’ Hurdle 18:05 Letsby Avenue (Alan King/Choc) & Benbane Head (Martin
Keighley/Ian Popham) & Court In Session (Martin
Keighley/Richard Johnson) – Handicap Hurdle 19:05 In A
Heartbeat (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) – Standard
Open NH Flat Race Balder Succes had an outing on the all-weather at Kempton on
Saturday, finishing 5th of 14. Clan
Royal, best known for being carried out by a loose horse on the second
circuit before Bechers when leading during the 2005
Grand National with AP McCoy aboard, has passed away at JP McManus’ stud in
Ireland. More Choc has tweeted a piccie of William
about to tuck into an evening meal.
William is usually not too keen on the food offered by Choc but, on
this occasion, it appears he likes it! https://mobile.twitter.com/Choc_Thornton/status/379655605772091392?p=v I’ve been
slaving over a cross-stitching frame all weekend and have completed my 2013
summer project all bar the back-stitch outline, which is partly done. There will be a photograph uploaded once
finished. It’s a new project, not the
cross stitch picture which I began in 2011, as that remains incomplete for
the time being! As Choc’s race is due
off at 18:05 tomorrow evening I will be rushing home in time to watch the
race live. I’m also going to record
the ATR coverage so I don’t miss a second, just in case the race-day
presenters decide to interview him too. |

CHOC TO RETURN
TO RACE RIDING ON TUESDAY 17
SEPTEMBER JJJ The
excellent news today is that Choc has tweeted to say he’ll be returning to race
riding next Tuesday, if there are any rides for him at Stratford! It’s been a long wait for his return and I
look forward to him having a very successful and, of course, injury free
season. He deserves it after all the
unlucky injury timeouts in recent years.
One runner
of interest today, at Bangor-On-Dee: Suburban
Bay (Alan King/Wayne Hutchinson) finished 2nd in the Handicap Chase (9 ran). Sad news
on the Racing Forum Memorials page that Prophete de
Guye has been put down having suffered a bad injury
when he was struck into during a race at Fontwell
last Sunday. Sad when any horse dies
in action, and especially when it’s a name one knows. RIP Another quiet weekend at home is planned for
me. I’m hoping to get within ‘spitting distance’ of completing my
current cross-stitch picture, especially as my Choc-related trips and
projects will be commencing again shortly! |

One runner
of interest tomorrow, at Bangor-On-Dee: 14:50 Suburban
Bay (Alan King/Wayne Hutchinson) – Handicap Chase Then
that’s it until National Hunt racing returns on Sunday 22 September ... apart
from the infamous Stratford twilight meeting scheduled for Tuesday 17
September, which has been slipped into the fixture list as an after-thought! The Jump Jockeys’ Derby took place at Epsom this
afternoon and it was won by Jamie Moore aboard Rossetti, trained by his
father Gary. |

Three
runners of interest at Uttoxeter today: The Wicked
Kipper (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) finished 3rd in
the Maiden Hurdle (11 ran). Faultless Feelings (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) won the
Beginners’ Chase (6 ran). Pollystone (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) won the
Handicap Hurdle (9 ran). Congratulations
to the team, their 3rd and 4th
winners of the
season. But sad
news reported by Martin Keighley today that stable stalwart Sky Calling has
been forced into retirement due to a leg injury. But the good news is that she will be
heading off to a new career at stud. http://www.martinkeighleyracing.com/Martins_blog.php Today Alan
King’s blog gives a run-down on all the stable favourites, ahead of their
2013/2014 season campaigns. http://alankingracing.co.uk/news.htm I received
a copy of the Injured Jockeys Fund Autumn 2013 newsletter in the post
today. Inside there is an article
about the AlterG Treadmill and a photograph of Choc
running upon it. Evidently it has been
a godsend to him, because initially his knee (he mentions an old injury ...
that will be his right knee then) swelled up through all the running he’d
been doing in order to keep fit over the summer. However, after switching to
the treadmill the problem cleared up immediately and he says it felt like he
could run forever! It’s a pity that they can’t invent a machine
which will take the weight of my boobs off me so that I could jog instead of
walk! |

Runners of
interest at Uttoxeter tomorrow: 14:10 The
Wicked Kipper (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) – Maiden
Hurdle 15:15
Faultless Feelings (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) –
Beginners’ Chase 17:25 Pollystone (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham)
– Handicap Hurdle Another
busy day of schooling for Choc, this time at Martin Keighley’s yard. The trainer reported in today’s blog that
Choc schooled Benbane Head, Creepy and The Wicked
Kipper over hurdles plus Merlin’s Wish over fences. My
winter-weight quilt is now on my bed.
Yesterday evening I stayed up into the early hours of the morning to
watch the US Open Men’s final, whilst also sewing my cross stitch project; I
turned in as the match reached the beginning of the fourth set. However, having transferred my viewing to
the TV in my bedroom, I was so roasty toasty warm
that I dozed off and missed the end of the match! Typical!
The standard of tennis played was amazing, and
I’m very pleased that Rafael Nadal won. I’ve seen him play live just once, when he
beat Agassi in the third round at Wimbledon in 2006. L It was
Andre’s retirement season, his final professional match being at the US Open
that same year. |

Just one
result from Huntingdon today, as Sky Calling
was a non-runner in the Handicap Hurdle: Brimham Boy (Martin Keighley/Ollie Garner) won the Handicap
Chase (9 ran); Martin’s 2nd winner of the season.
Victory had been within Darnborough’s grasp when
falling at the last but fortunately the horse appeared okay following the
mishap. There’s
National Hunt racing at Worcester tomorrow, but no particular runners of
interest. News that
the Philip Hobbs trained Balthazar King won a listed cross-country race
yesterday in France. More With the sudden drop in temperature, I’m already
thinking about swapping my summer weight quilt for my winter one, as I had
goose bumps on my goose bumps when I woke up this morning! |

A number
of runners of interest at Stratford yesterday and this is
how they fared: Bold Tara
(Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) finished 4th in the incident-packed
Conditional Jockeys’ Selling Handicap Hurdle (8 ran). Midnight
Thomas (Martin Keighley/Ollie Garner) finished 7th in the Novices’ Hurdle (9
ran). Henry San
(Alan King/Wayne Hutchinson) finished 2nd in the Handicap Chase (4 ran). In A
Heartbeat (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) finished 2nd
in the Standard Open NH Flat Race (8 ran). And one at
Fontwell Park today: Wooly Bully (Alan
King/Wayne Hutchinson) won the Juvenile Hurdle (9 ran). Wayne’s 22nd winner of the season. National
Hunt racing at Perth and Huntingdon tomorrow, with two
runners of interest at the latter: 14:40 Brimham Boy (Martin Keighley/Ollie Garner) – Handicap
Chase 15:10 Sky
Calling (Martin Keighley/Handicap Hurdle) – Handicap Hurdle Choc rode
out for Richard Phillips yesterday and here is a lovely photograph tweeted by
the trainer. I don’t know which horse
it is, but the lady is Catch (Catriona) Bissett, Richard’s Assistant. https://mobile.twitter.com/RTPhillips1/status/376286620213080064/photo/1?screen_name=RTPhillips1 |

Fontwell Park on Sunday
too: 14:10 Wooly Bully (Alan King/Wayne Hutchinson) – Juvenile
Hurdle Choc rode
out for Martin Keighley this morning. There was
news earlier this week that Good Friday racing may become a reality in 2014. More Personally
I’m not in favour, as the Lambourn and Middleham Open Days may be affected by this
development. And it’s a bit unfair on
the jockeys too, who hold their annual Lester Awards the evening before. Another quiet weekend at home planned for
me. St Albans missed most of today’s
forecasted rain, there may be a few showers tomorrow, but Sunday is expected
to be dry. I’ve become addicted to my
current cross-stitch project since last Sunday, so that is my plan for the
next two days. I’m also looking
forward to Strictly Come Dancing returning tomorrow evening, when we find out
which celebrities are dancing with which professional partner ... my personal
choice would be Artem Chigvintsev! |

One runner
of interest at Southwell today and this is how
he fared: Compton Blue (Alan King/Wayne Hutchinson)
finished 2nd in the Handicap Hurdle (4 ran). National
Hunt racing at Sedgefield tomorrow, but no runners of specific interest. And Choc
has tweeted a piccie of
William, who appears to have found a lady friend! https://mobile.twitter.com/Choc_Thornton/status/375215077794004992/photo/1?screen_name=Choc_Thornton |

One runner
of interest tomorrow, at Southwell: 16:40 Compton Blue (Alan King/Wayne Hutchinson) –
Handicap Hurdle Jockey Dave Crosse has returned from his USA
adventure and uploaded his latest blog on the Love The Races website. Click here to read. News today that retired chaser 22-year-old Direct
Route has been put down following an accident in his paddock. More |

Confirmation
today that Choc has been riding out at Barbury
Castle and will return to race-riding later this month. Also news that Group horse First Mohican
and Ebor winner Tiger Cliff will be heading to Alan King’s yard to begin a
jumping career in the not too distant future.
http://alankingracing.co.uk/news.htm But not good
news regarding Monty’s Revenge – he’s injured a tendon and will be out of
action for the remainder of the season. I spent a quiet weekend at home; I knitted a Katia Guipur lace scarf, did
some cross-stitching, cleaned a car, and trimmed a privet hedge too. I also transferred a number of items from
my Sky hard-drive to DVD in order to free up space in preparation for
recording Choc’s exploits once he returns to
action! |
