I’m so glad they did such a nice piece. You can always depend on 60 Minutes to stay above board. As an eventer, I have to admit, I almost burst a gut laughing when the one jockey was listing his numerous past injuries. Timber racing looks like a blast to watch. I’ll have a make a trip one year.

Joe Clancy’s Jumping Around podcast today featured Senior Senator’s trainer Joe Davies telling the story of how the rascally gelding was claimed for $7500 and blossomed into a steeplechasing star. I love the bit about exercising him by letting him jump out of his paddock :lol:
