With the annual Cheltenham Festival fast approaching I was asked to attend a stable day at Donald McCain’s racing yard in Cheshire – the Bankhouse Stables – for the Sports section of The Sunday Times.
I’ve photographed Donald before at his stables and he is one of racings nicest people – affable, humorous and generous with his time … which is much in demand.
So on a cold February morning I set off at a gallop to be in Cheshire in time for the assembled media pack to be introduced to the horses that Donald would be running at the Cheltenham Festival. A sort of ‘meet & greet’ with some racing thoroughbreds if you like!
