Message from Brendan - Monday 12th October:
"I’m really sorry I was unable to ride on Saturday but I was unwell over night and just wasn't well enough to ride. I did make it there to support the race though and thanks for giving so generously."

Brendan won 684 races and as well as the Grand National won two Scottish and two Midlands Grand Nationals. He is now a successful trainer. Brendan says that these days his jockey son, Brendan Powell Jnr, is a lot more famous than him as people now come up to him and ask, “Are you Brendan Powell’s Dad?!”

On October 10th 2015, legends of the turf will ride again at Chepstow racecourse in a special Jump Legends Charity Race to raise money for The Bob Champion Cancer Trust.
Thank you for sponsoring them!
