Saving up

Hi there

Laura and Thomas here: newlaura.jpg

You guys won’t remember Burrough Hill Lad. He was one of the top racehorses in the 80s, winning the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 1984 and various other big races too.

Anyways, Burrough Hill Lad used to be stabled near where I live and is named after the hill where me and Thomas go hacking (Burrough Hill) so when any news comes out about him I always read it.

Burrough Hill Lad's owner Mr Riley is selling off a load of the stuff that his horse won during his career including The Gold Cup he won in 1984 and a set of his racing silks so I’m thinking of saving up to buy a few bits!

Only kidding, the Cup is set to make £6,000 or more, that’s a bit out of my price range but it would be mega if I could afford it though.
