After a year layoff, Put On A Show returns to action in the $40000 opening leg of the Overbid Series on Friday, March 2, 2012 at the Meadowlands. The Chris Ryder trainee was one of the top pacing fillies in the country before knee trouble placed her on the sidelines.

Part 2: Eliza takes us through her Cheltenham Festival fancies Thursday & Gold Cup day [03:55]
My fancies for day three and four of the 2012 Cheltenham Festival. I am dressed like this because I have just modelled for a 1940's pin up painting ; see the results on my blog. Also I review some 1940s and 50s horse racing movies with great vintage style that could be inspiration for a day at the races...

Hannah Struggles to weigh in but is awarded Second Place in her First ever Ride! [00:06]
Now Hannah is very fit and strong. So to see her weak at the knees and struggling to carry the saddle and lead weights after the Race was a surprise to me. It just goes to show the strength and stamina jumps jockeys need; and of course the weight some horses are required to carry. The second in this race had lost his weights on the way around so was disqualified; and Hannah was placed second in her first ever point to point ride. Now imagine when you see a horse having to carry such weight in handicaps how difficult it must be. That is when you start to appreciate how well a horse like Denman did in the Hennessy Gold Cup giving masses of weight to his rivals in finishing third.
