Repeat Performance

Dear Everyone

Following my great night out at Lingfield it was off to Kempton where I was hot favourite to win my next race.  I have to say the pressure was on - not only were lots of people backing me to win but most of the Team were there as well - oh my goodness!

Now I have to say I was feeling in good form and I had the stable jockey riding me, which is always good for my confidence, AND last time I raced here I nearly won so hopefully ....................?  I have to say it all went well - my Jockey and I just went about our business, found ourselves a nice rhythm and when we got into the straight went for it up the inside and after making up a lot of ground I DID IT AGAIN - I WON.  A girl could really get used to this.  The best bit was coming up the straight when I heard the commentator say 'and here comes Fleur de la Vie'.

It was fantastic coming back in and all the Team were there looking as pleased as anything with me - I got lots of admiring looks and pats, a nice drink of water - more photos - its all good.  I've really got something to tell the others about now - come on Thelma get out there and racing - if I can do it I know you can.

Lots of love from a tired but contented Fleur
