LITTLE Stampy has been a wonderful servant for our small yard in recent weeks, helping to keep our name in the spotlight, with two victories at Wolverhampton. On Monday she returns to Dunstall Park in search of a treble, when she races in a fillies’ handicap at the Midlands track.

I grew up on the farm at Juddmonte where my father Albert worked for over 40 years. From an early age I was surrounded by horses - not just ordinary ones but high class, well bred thoroughbreds. I had a pony almost as soon as I could walk and over the years progressed on to show jumpers and hunters.
