Rachel's Newmarket Town Plate report

  • What an amazing day and a historic occasion. I feel privileged to have been part of Newmarket's 350th birthday celebrations. Opera Buff really put his best foot forward and we finished a very creditable fourth to Sheikh Fahad on Almagest who just caught MP Matt Hancock on Nicky Henderson's Medieval Chapel. A very good result for British racing. Both horse and rider were exhausted afterwards and it was a great experience. Apparently we will be featured on BBC's Inside Out later in the year! Huge thanks to everyone who has sponsored me and helped raise all this money for the Animal Health Trust, see this link for more reports and photos https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Rachel-Flynn7.
