THE BRITISH ARE COMING...AGAIN!

Back by popular demand, we are once again bringing back two of our most popular and seasoned professional riders all the way from Ireland - UPDATE: Brian Harding broke his arm at Kelso Sunday and will NOT be coming. In his stead, Journeyman Mattie Betchelor will be joining Jimmy McCarthy for this year's Queen's Cup guest jockeys. Please click here to download more information about our guest riders. While you're considering the opportunity to use these lads, consider this - Between the two of them, they have more wins and rides under their belt than the entire 2010 NSA jockey colony, professional and amateur, combined!  Both of them have ridden races over timber and both have been 'round the Grand National course at Aintree on several occasions. We hope you will support our efforts by naming Jimmy and Mattie on your horses.
