Newmill makes dream a reality

Fairytales are part and parcel of sport because the uncertainty allows us to dream not only of the probable, but also the improbable, and that’s what makes the sport of kings in particular so magnetic.

Yesterday's Queen Mother Champion illustrated the point clearly as fairytale became reality for Batty and Theresa Hayes, John Murphy and Andrew McNamara a tale to be re-told and cherished for countless generations.

And it's all down to the eight-year-old Newmill the wonder horse who made their dreams a reality.
