After a very early start and hours on the road to Higham (Colchester), Big Moment and Claire (Douglas) made the trip all worthwhile. They managed a third win on the bounce to show Chris that anything Senor Shane can do (three wins under rules), Jenny can do too! It wasn't the easiest win, with Big Moment only getting up on the line to win it by a neck after managing to be facing the wrong way when the flag went down. Despite winning, Claire's Mum was insistent that Jenny give her a bollocking for messing up the start.

Although making an inch-perfect start, Fenton (Ramsahoye)'s race on Presenting Express was rather short-lived as he parted company at the second jump (having soared over the first). Fortunately only Fenton's pride was dented and he'lll be heading for Detling next week to have another go.

After keeping everyone (and more importantly the bbq) waiting until past 4pm for the final race, Neil (Henderson) managed an equally disasterous start on Mandalay Bay in the Restricted. His efforts at playing catch up weren't quite as successful as Claire's and after very nearly parting company three times (twice right in front of the crowd), they managed to trail in a very weary 6th or 7th. The great news though was that Mandalay has recovered from breaking the bone at the back of his knee and is back to fitness. Roll on an easier race!

All going well, Jenny plans a major assault on Detling next weekend with six horses entered: Nice Pick and Top Ram (Claire Allen - 2007/8 ladies' champion) in the maiden and ladies' open respectively, Launde in the men's open, and Presenting Express (Fenton), Kjetil (Neil), and the eternal Lazarus of the yard Wain Mountain (Anthony Ward-Thomas) all aiming for either the Novices or the Conditions races.
