Agreed Hushwing, I've been wondering what on earth the point is for a while now
Perhaps it's important for her to put her time in doing something she knows and loves so I prefer not to be judgemental, but it seems a little sad anyway

Nothing sad about it imho she is doing something she loves.
Henrietta Knight enjoyed her first jumps winner since returning to the training ranks when Motazzen landed the closing 2m1½f handicap hurdle.
Knight, trainer of three-time Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Best Mate, struck on the Flat with Cotswold Cottage at Windsor in October but had not scored in this sphere since taking a hunter chase with Calgary Bay in March 2015.
"It feels fantastic. This is a proper game – I love Fontwell," a delighted Knight told Sky Sports Racing. "Everybody said I was mad to come back training at my age – I'm 78 at the weekend – but look at Mick Easterby [aged 93]. I maybe won't go on as long as him, but it's the game I love and there's nothing like jump racing in the winter. It's just lovely to be back.
"I wouldn't do it without Brendan [Powell snr, Knight's assistant trainer]. He basically trains them for me because he knows the ins and outs of the courses. I've never ridden around any of these courses – I just sit and watch!
"We're as busy as ever. We've got National Hunt horses in and some very nice young ones, so we're excited going forward."

Agree with her carrying on if that is what she wants to do. Not harming anyone is she?
