reflect on our favourite moments from last year and look ahead to the great racing we have to look forward to. Last season was record-breaking, as we were able to open our doors to racegoers once again, and more of you than ever joined us for four days of extraordinary racing in March. The week culminated with Rachael Blackmore making history once more when landing the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup aboard A Plus Tard for Henry de Bromhead and Cheveley Park Stud. The noise around the Winners’ Enclosure as we all welcomed them back in was unforgettable – The Festival really does produce an atmosphere like no other. In this year’s magazine, we catch up with Irish jockey Danny Mullins who had an incredible season, having been out with injury in the early part, before going on to land the King George on Boxing Day at Kempton Park and make it back-to-back wins in the Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle aboard Flooring Porter. His cousin,
our ambassador, and JP's great friend and former employee, Barry Geraghty to Martinstown Stud to relive his favourite moments and tell JP’s story of a life in sport. Throughout this year’s Kalendar , we reflect on Brian Hughes’s fantastic career so far, as well as the unbelievable achievement of Sam Waley- Cohen when landing the 2022 Randox Grand National on his final ride in the saddle – an incredibly fitting way to bow out for a jockey so triumphant over those famous fences. Finally, we would like to thank you for your continued support. It was wonderful to see so many of you back on our racecourses last season, and we look forward to seeing you over the coming months.
