5:45 Chelt' THE CHARIDEE RACE

St Patrick's Derby - 1m 5f Charity Race
For me Thursday is all about the final race on the card. I'll be riding for Richard Fahey in this charity flat race and I'm hoping I can give you all a run for your money. I've obviously had my ear to the ground and been looking up the form of the opposition. I can honestly say it will be one of the most competitive races at the meeting!! It seems there are a few fancied runners and owner Andy Stewart even tipped his runner, Maxi Chop, on TV the other day. So, anything can happen, but I hope we can go well.

Whatever the outcome all the riders have raised a fortune for Cancer Research UK which was the ultimate aim of this race. I, like my fellow riders, have worked hard on fitness and as you know I have been riding out for a number of trainers. Richard has kindly agreed to find me a competitive horse to ride so I hope I don't let him down! If you fancy sponsoring me please check out my webpage: www.justgiving.com/SkySportsAlexH
