From pony racing to Gold Cup winner - young man with a Cheltenham dream
Posted by
David Simpson
One young man received a late Christmas present at Chaddesley Corbett yesterday when he approached Sam Waley-Cohen for an autograph. Young Liam Harrison, aged 9, is a budding rider and he was quick to make his move when he spotted Sam by the horse boxes following his win on Any The Wiser.
Sam was an absolute gent and asked Liam if he wanted a photograph, Liam was delighted and the icing on the cake was when Sam said "do you know this is the Gold Cup winning saddle?" A big thank you to Sam as it's things like this that really inspire youngsters and Liam will treasure this photograph, he may even go on to emulate Sam one day ... you never know!
