Heroes Gallop at Chepstow

Our Heroes Gallop Jockeys, post race at Chepstow

We were extremely excited to host our first fundraising race, Heroes Gallop, at Chepstow on 14th August. Among those taking part were former leading female rider Cathy Gannon and fellow retirees Mattie Batchelor, John Kington, Stephen Hunter and Gordon ‘Flash’ Power.
The seven runner race took place over one mile and was hotly contest but John Kington triumphed, riding Baikal, trained by Grace Harris.

We are very grateful to to the jockeys, owners and trainers who supported the race. You

You can see a recap of the action here along with more photos and the jockeys reactions.

In addition to the fundraising race we hosted a sensory space on course, for families with autistic children enabling them to enjoy the race day in a supported way. For many families attending one of our autism friendly race days is the first time they experience our sport. All funds raised on the day to go continue our work supporting the autistic community, and it isn’t too late to donate. Follow this link to support our activities

We would like to thank those who made this day possible: Chepstow racecourse for hosting the race and DragonBet who kindly sponsored the day.

See you at a fundraising race in 2026!
