Injured Jockeys Fund president Sir Anthony McCoy and reigning Longines World's Best Jockey Ryan Moore will captain two teams of riders in a special showjumping event on Monday evening at the London International Horse Show.
The Markel Jockeys Jumping class will pit two teams of racing stars against one another in a bid to raise money for the IJF, with McCoy keen to repeat his effort from 12 months ago, when recording one of the fastest times of the night aboard his daughter's pony.
McCoy's team is set to feature former champion jockey on the Flat Jim Crowley, Kielan Woods, Lilly Pinchin and Harry Cobden, though Paul Nicholls' stable number one confesses: "I've never showjumped in my life."
Harry Skelton will be hoping to dust off the aeroplane celebration at the London International Horse Show
Moore can call on a similarly stellar line-up, namely the recently retired Tom Scudamore – now a trustee of the IJF – Joanna Mason, Sam Twiston-Davies and Harry Skelton, a man well and truly bred for the job as the son of Olympic gold medallist Nick Skelton.
An IJF fundraiser for Graham Lee, who suffered a spinal injury following a fall at Newcastle last month, has raised more than ?175,000 and McCoy said: "It’s been a tough few months for us at the Injured Jockeys Fund so nights like this – while being great fun – are more important than ever. We thank everyone for supporting us and hope we put on a good show."
The Markel Jockeys Jumping, scheduled for 6.05-6.35pm, can be watched on the BBC red button (Sky channel 981)
I've been watching this weekend the puissance on friday night was awesome. the final competitors were attempting 2.18m

If so, what is the parking like in the town centre ?
Any advice appreciated.
WE are thinking of arriving early enough, around 10-30 and parking in the town rather than the course.
Me and Mrs Somer have stayed in Chepstow or stayed in Newport overnight.
You will deff enjoy it Q.

So if you are contemplating "getting out" of any - it's worth doing pre-NRNB with Paddy
I was trying to hold off for some to be backed in abit and cash out, but just a few not playing ball so likely gunna take a hit on them! Just being stubborn, should just take something while I can!

I know it's more the thread you were missing... But im still here just more of a lurker now, still interesting to watch the season unfold and see what everyone here is thinking planning to take another swing at fixing my laptop in the new year, probably won't be doing daily updates or whatever as I'm not betting any more but I'd be happy to share the code and let someone else press the button and share the results
