Bob Champion Takes the Reins

Bob Champion Takes the Reins- Bob won the 1981 Grand National on Aldaniti. His triumph, while recovering from cancer, was made into the 1984 film Champions, with John Hurt playing the National winning jockey.

Bob your absolute gentleman. Brilliant watch.

You are my champion, my horse riding hero. We met, you and I at a hunt. Janet Grant introduced us. We drank champagne and Aldaniti loved the strawberries. You were such a gentleman I hoped you would ask me out. I'm sad you didn't.

And a very good one.

Great to see Bob looking so well. Toby Balding must have schooled many a jockey.. Josh Gifford knew how to train and find good horses.
