Ambrose Princess!

Right, so this would be the entry where I promised I'd tell you all what horse I'm riding. I was thinking maybe I should wait a bit longer, though? No, don't worry! I wouldn't do that. I've already had stacks of people tweeting me (http://twitter.com/chloebowkett) asking what she's called.

The horse I'll be racing is a 6 year-old called Ambrose Princess (details from the Racing Post found HERE) trained by the well-known Michael Scudamore (details here). Huge thanks go to the very generous owners the Chris Coley (http://www.chriscoleyracing.co.uk/) and the YesNoWaitSorries Racing Syndicate, who have been so kind as to lend me their very valuable and top-notch horse to race with. It's a real thrill for me to do this on such a good horse.

I'm also going to be racing in their traditional "scrambled egg" colours of Red and Yellow, which are the colours of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) who play at the Lord's ground. The syndicate is closely involved in the MCC as well as the Gloucestershire Gipsies CC.

I'll be wearing these MCC colours

I'm so excited now. It's really, really close and everything is sorted. Just time to practise and finally ride the race for Cancer Research UK! Just 2 weeks to go.
