FOUNDATION TROPHY STEEPLECHASE IS PART OF BIG DAY AT CHELTENHAM
The Foundation joined horse-racing’s big names at Cheltenham’s April meeting.
Victory in the Matt Hampson Foundation Silver Trophy Handicap Chase on Wednesday went to pre-race favourite Excelsis Deo and jockey Jonathan Burke on Wednesday. The horse is trained by Harry Fry for owner J P McManus.
Foundation chief executive Tommy Cawston and former England rugby international Dan Hipkiss, now head of learning and development for the charity which inspires and supports young people after life-changing injury, joined racing legend A P McCoy to present the winners’ silverware on a day which also featured support for the Injured Jockey Fund.
Matt Hampson attended on the second day of the meeting to represent the Foundation as a guest of sponsors.
