A day in the life of a top horse racing yard
Ditcheat, England (CNN)It’s lunchtime at Manor Farm Stables and Clan Des Obeaux, a joint favorite for Friday’s Cheltenham Gold Cup, wants his carrot, and he wants it now.
Tall, dark and handsome, his coat glistening in the unusually warm February sun, the French-bred bay gelding pricks up his ears as Clifford Baker, the head lad, tickles his soft nose and hands him his favorite vegetable.
“He just is special, he’s won some big races,” Baker told CNN Sport at the yard in Ditcheat, a small village in the rolling hills of Somerset, England. “And you’re friendly, aren’t you? And you like carrots.”
