I had some great news over the weekend. After Jonathon Herbert's fab piece in the Glos. Echo on Saturday, some very generous people have come forward with possibilities of horses to me to ride in the race. Very exciting but I'll have to be patient and see what happens.

I shouldn't do but I'm letting myself get really worried about the horse thing; I spoke to Edward Gillespie this afternoon and he's calmed me down, told me to keep up with what I'm doing and we'll sort the horse out later.

One of my fellow jockeys, Lorna Fowler has confirmed in the press  she's riding the Henry Cecil (http://www.henrycecil.com/) trained Plato which is owned by the Niarchos Family. She's a very lucky girl! It's a fantastic 4 year old with a great track record. Must remember to congratulate her on Twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/chloebowkett).

I've spent the afternoon trying to organise my kit that I'm going to race in. I need to have a jockey polo to wear under my silks with an embroidered collar, Racesafe breeches with the TOTE logo on each thigh and the coccyx. I've just discovered it's going to cost £158.50! OMG. I also need goggles and boots to race in. There's just so much to sort,  in so little time.

More exercise with a late netball match tonight but we won! WHOOP WHOOP!! Well done girls. We won the league in style - 8 points clear of our nearest rival. Manchester United have nothing on us.
