Royal Ascot

This year I attended all five days of Royal Ascot in my role as Artist in Residence to the Royal Ascot Racing Club. I had several works on display in the club and I thoroughly enjoyed being there with the members and experiencing some incredible racing. It was thrilling to see Highclere have three winners and the closest second, by a whisker, of the week. Another highlight was Paco Boy putting in the bravest performance of the week in the Queen Anne. He came from way back in the field having being caught up against the rail and showed amazing acceleration to hound the leader in a desperate attempt to regain his title. If he had had another 20 yards he would have got there. I look forward to starting the sculpture commission of him in the next few weeks.
