Lucky bidders from a recent event enjoyed a fabulous walking tour of the Newmarket Gallops with local insight led by former leading jockey Ian Watkinson. Ian enjoyed great success riding legendary jump horses including Tingle Creek, Night Nurse and Sea Pigeon in the 1970s.

The tour kicked off at the historical stables of St Gatien, named after the Derby-winning horse St Gatien. Built in the late 1800s, the yard has been a successful training base for over a century and is still a thriving yard today.

After the tour, the group enjoyed lunch at the yard with plenty of stories and racing nostalgia from over the years. We are incredibly grateful to Ian Watkinson and Kate Clark who generously donated this exclusive lot to support our fundraising 💙

"20 years ago, my mother Julia ran the 2006 London Marathon as part of a BBC 1 documentary called 'Run for Glory' for the Bob Champion Cancer Trust, after bravely overcoming cancer. 15 years ago, my mother lost her battle with cancer. I was aged 13, and my sister Charlotte just 10 years old. To this day it remains the single most traumatic experience of my life."

"This year, on the 20th anniversary of her London Marathon run, and the 15th anniversary of her death, I will be running the TCS London Marathon this Sunday for the Bob Champion Cancer Trust in her memory and to raise funds for the charity she loved so much. As well as a JustGiving page, I've also set up a silent auction with some donated lots, all the details are in the link below."
