0:01:04 > 0:01:09- It's a sport which is - full of pain, pounds and pedigree.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- Hold on tight!
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- The thrill of competition...
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- ..is the highlight - for any racehorse owner or trainer.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- A day at the races is a combination - of joy and disappointment.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- From jockey to bookie, - from handicap to horseshoe.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Everyone's on tenterhooks.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- But the hard work is done - before this stage.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Our story begins at the stables, - with Brychan and Janet.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- Janet Davies - is a successful businesswoman...
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- ..who runs - a translation company in Cardiff.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59- Owning horses may be her hobby - but her professional instincts...
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- ..mean it's a well organized - and successful venture.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Her horses - are trained by Evan Williams...
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- ..on his farm - in the Vale Of Glamorgan.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Janet, what sparked - your interest in racehorses?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- A combination of things.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- I remember being in my grandmother's - house many years ago...
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- ..watching horse races with her and - my sister on a black and white TV.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- We had a few pennies - to bet on horses.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- I think it was my grandmother's way - of keeping us out of mischief!
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Apparently, my great-grandfather - worked as a groom...
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- ..so it seems - horses were in my blood.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- My interest - also stemmed from the fact...
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- ..that a friend of mine - owned a point-to-point horse.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- I started to follow - point-to-point races...
0:02:54 > 0:02:55- ..and I enjoyed it.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- When did you buy - your first racehorse?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- Back in the summer of 2008.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- The point-to-point season - was over...
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- ..and I told my husband - I'd like to own a horse.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- He said, "If you want - to own a horse, buy it yourself."
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- I visited another yard - before I came here, to meet Evan.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- I fell in love with a horse - called King's Theatre.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- Of course, he was expensive - and I said I had to look elsewhere.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- He said, "As this is your first - horse, let's have shared ownership."
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- "You buy 50% - and I'll keep the other 50%."
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- Evan had faith in the horse - although it had never raced.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- The months passed - and the horse showed great promise.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- A few days before the horse - was due to run his first race...
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- ..my husband decided to buy a share.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- We were in a taxi in London...
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- ..when he phoned Evan to tell him - he wanted to buy the other half.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- The horse ran two days later - and he won.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- That may have been - the worst thing to happen to us...
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- ..because we fell in love - with racing.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- Since that day, we've enjoyed - a pretty good level of success.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Janet's horses have run - at meetings across the UK...
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- ..including Ffos Las - and Chepstow in Wales...
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- ..and over the border - in Ludlow, Ascot and Cheltenham.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37- Court Minstrel, one of her horses, - came through a thrilling race...
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- ..to win - the 2013 Scottish Champion Hurdle.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- It's a lovely morning - in Llancarfan, Janet.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- It can be breezy here.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- Yes, and extremely cold.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Talk me through - what's happening here.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Our horses are out on the yard.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- We don't own all these horses.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- They're taken - out of their boxes in the morning...
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- ..to be taken - either on the gallop...
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- ..to go onto the sand - or simply for some light exercise.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- It depends - on the condition of the horse.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21- The jockeys are warming them up, - waiting for Evan's instructions.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- You seem like a happy person to me.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26- This must give you a thrill.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- This must give you a thrill.- - Yes.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- It's a great way to relax - and forget about work and worries.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40- There's an incline here.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Yes, and some of them find it tough.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Some of them - gallop up there, mind you.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55- There's a huge variety - in the way Evan trains each horse.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- Some horses may not come up here.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- They sulk and refuse to come here.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- We have to listen to the horses.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Do you enjoy watching them train?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Do you enjoy watching them train?- - Yes. It's the best part of it.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Being outside and watching - our horses doing their best...
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- ..gives me great pleasure.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Evan Williams grew up here, - on Aberogwrn farm...
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- ..in the Vale Of Glamorgan.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40- He was a point-to-point jockey - before he became a trainer.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- His structured days - include exercising the horses...
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- ..discussions - with jockeys and owners...
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- ..and entering horses in races.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Mrs Davies - is a very, very good listener...
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- ..but where - she's a successful owner...
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- ..is that - she makes her own mind up as well.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08- A racehorse trainer enjoys people - giving them their opinions.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14- If you think you're right all - the time, you'll never move forward.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- An owner can have an opinion on a - horse I perhaps wouldn't have seen.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- It's nice to get an owner's look - on the whole situation...
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- ..because it can sometimes - point you in the right direction.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32- I like Evan's style.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- When they've done their work - and been washed...
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- ..they're let out to graze.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Are your horses out here?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Yes, a few of them are here.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- They were running earlier - and now they're relaxing.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- You can see - that they are totally relaxed.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54- They're very content.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- They'll be out here - until lunchtime...
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- ..so they'll graze - for a good two hours.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- You can see - that they really are relaxed.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12- It's good to see there's a time for - working and a time for relaxation.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13- It's just like people.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- We work hard and play hard - and so do these horses.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33- As we've seen, Janet enjoys watching - her horses on Evan Williams's farm.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- Brychan had the pleasure - of meeting the horses she owns...
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- ..and I'm about to meet - the ones that she's breeding.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- Janet, you've already - had a good day with Brychan.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- We've seen where the horses - are kept and trained.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- We've seen - how the whole thing operates.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- But there's another element - to your equine world.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06- You breed horses too.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- You breed horses too.- - Yes, and it's a new element.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- We bought a mare - in Ireland in 2009...
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- ..with the intention of racing her.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- She did race a couple of times.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- She won a race at Towcester...
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- ..and we could see - that she had great potential.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- But she sustained a leg injury - when she ran at Hereford...
0:09:30 > 0:09:35- ..and rather than try to find - an alternative home for her...
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- ..we thought we'd try to breed her.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44- We thought if we could get her to - produce a couple of foals, why not?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Timoca already has two foals...
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- ..with a third on the way.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- Timoca comes from - a successful bloodline...
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- ..which includes - Northern Dancer and Mill Reef.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Northern Dancer - won the Kentucky Derby...
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- ..in the United States.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- What are your hopes - when it comes to breeding?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Well, we hope to see her foals - on racecourses.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- More than that, - we hope to see them win.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- That would be a dream come true.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- I've told - Evan Williams, our trainer...
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- ..to be brutally honest with us...
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- ..and tell us - if they'll make racehorses.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- These are exciting times.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- Yes, and I try - not to come and see them too often.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- They're racehorses, not pets.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- I look forward to the future.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- I hope they don't all disappoint me!
0:11:00 > 0:11:00- .
0:11:05 > 0:11:05- Subtitles
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- I'm with - the racehorse owner, Janet Davies.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- Court Minstrel is one - of her most successful horses.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29- He's won ten hurdle races, come - second three times and third twice.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- Brychan met Court Minstrel - at the stables a while back...
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- ..but, in the meantime, - he's had great success.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Yes. It's incredible, to be honest.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- A few days after being on the yard - and praising the little horse...
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- ..he was entered - in a two and half mile race.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- He'd never - run further than two miles before.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59- I checked his odds that morning, - and they were 25-1.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- I thought to myself, - "That's worth a flutter."
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- By the time the race got under way, - he'd drifted to 40-1.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13- I'm not a betting woman, - but I couldn't resist it...
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- ..so I put a few pounds on him.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- He looked magnificent on the day - and he came from nowhere.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- He was bringing up the rear - and he come from nowhere.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- He was third or fourth - as he jumped the final hurdle.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- He passed the rest of the field, - running like the wind.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38- He was so cheeky, he turned his head - to the others, as if to say...
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- .."Hello! I've passed you!"
0:12:42 > 0:12:47- The TV commentators just said, - "How on earth did he do that?"
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- The jockey did brilliantly...
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- ..and Evan did a magnificent job.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Evan trained him - to win that huge race.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01- The downside is he can only run - in top class races from now on.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- It will be tough for him...
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- ..but I look forward - to seeing what happens.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- It'll be a challenge.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13- It'll be a challenge.- - Definitely.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- The fact that he won - is unbelievable.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- The big day has dawned.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26- This is the big stage.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- All the hard work leads up to this.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- David saw the foals and - I saw the hard work at the stables.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- Welcome back to Ffos Las.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44- Ffos Las racecourse, Carmarthenshire - is a relatively new course.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- Janet has a good track record - at this racecourse.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- Her horses have won here 13 times.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- The rain was torrential - during our day there...
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- ..but it couldn't dampen - our excitement.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- Janet has two runners today.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Fille De Champs - is making her debut...
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- ..and Copper Birch, - a horse with huge potential.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- Janet, we've seen the horses - being trained at the stables.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- It all leads to this - - a race meeting.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- Here we are, at Ffos Las - on a cold and windy day.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- You're hoping - to have a successful day.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Yes, we hope so.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- Copper Birch has been in the stables - for three months...
0:14:35 > 0:14:36- ..waiting for a race.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38- He's been raring to go...
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- ..but bad weather has meant - that races have been cancelled.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- We hope he does well today.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- You're also racing a new little mare - for the first time today.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52- Yes - Fille De Champs.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- We bought her about a year ago.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- We've been waiting and waiting - for her to race.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- She's ready to race - and I hope she'll be alright.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- This kind of race - will be an education for her.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14- She's been entered in a flat race, - rather than a hurdles race.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- We want to see if she settles.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- She's like a child - going somewhere for the first time.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- The official term for this kind - of racing is National Hunt.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35- It involves racing on the flat, - usually over a variety of hurdles.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- Copper Birch - will run in the Handicap Chase.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- In a handicap, the best horses - carry more weight in the saddle...
0:15:45 > 0:15:46- ..to make it a fair race.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- The Grand National is the most - famous handicap race of them all...
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- ..but Ffos Las will do nicely today.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- Brychan, you have more experience - of racing than me.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- What's your advice to me?
0:16:01 > 0:16:02- What's your advice to me?- - My advice is never bet!
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- When you see the bookie - arrive by helicopter...
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- ..you know it's a mug's game!
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- I'll follow Copper Birch.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- I had a nice price on him, at 7-1.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- I'll sit with Janet - to watch the race.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17- Have you had a flutter?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Yes. My money's on Fille Des Champ.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- I can't wait to see the race.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- Fingers crossed for Janet.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31- Copper Birch runs first, and Brychan - joins Janet in the pre-parade ring.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- Owners, trainers and jockeys - meet here to discuss tactics.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Minutes before the race. - What happens now?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- All the horses are in the ring, - as you can see.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- They're walking around, - starting to warm up.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- Owners and trainers are here - and, when the bell rings...
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- ..we'll be joined by the jockeys.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00- Evan will tell our jockey - how to run the race.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01- How are your nerves?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- How are your nerves?- - Alright, at the moment.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- I may get nervous later.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- This horse has a mind of his own, - so anything could happen.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- Come on, number nine!
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- Come on, number nine!- - Yes. Let's hope for the best.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- And they're off!
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- They're racing!
0:17:25 > 0:17:26- That's fast!
0:17:27 > 0:17:32- Yes, when you consider - they'll run three miles in the mud.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34- He jumped that one well.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- He jumped that one well.- - Good boy.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- He's at the rear but he looks happy.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- Over the second safely.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Here they come, - in front of the stand.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- All the runners - are still in the race.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- Yes, and they're bunched together.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55- Yes - it's a close race.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- There's growing excitement - in the stand.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- Everyone's watching - the horse they've backed.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- No wonder they're struggling - in this weather.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- The ground is really heavy.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- The important thing is the jockey - knows when the horse is too tired...
0:18:18 > 0:18:19- ..and he stops him.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- He's sixth and he's slowing down.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- I think it would be better - if he didn't jump any more now.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- That's how accidents happen.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Unfortunately, - it's too much for Copper Birch...
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- ..and the jockey pulls him up.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- It's disappointing, but it's a - relief that the horse is uninjured.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Are you happy - with the jockey's decision?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- Yes, because it means - the horse will come home.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00- I need to check that he's OK but - he didn't fall or injure himself.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04- He's exhausted. You can see that.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06- He's exhausted. You can see that.- - Yes. He's shattered.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- He can run some other time.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Janet, how do you feel - after that last race?
0:19:19 > 0:19:20- I feel alright.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25- He did his best and I'm glad - he was pulled up before the finish.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- The big horses who've run since then - have struggled.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34- Small horses can get through the mud - but it's hard for the big ones.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35- But that's life.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- On we go to the next race - and Fille De Champs.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- How do you feel ahead of this race?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- I feel fine.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- I want to see if she can behave.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- I hope she's learned some manners - from Evan's training.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- She'll run her own race.
0:19:56 > 0:20:02- I hope she'll be quite competitive - but I don't want her to be pushed.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- The jockey is quite young...
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- ..but I hope he knows - what to do with her.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- They're off!
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Fille De Champs - is a runner in this race.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22- She's right at the rear, which is - where she's supposed to be.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- That should help her stay relaxed.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- It's possible that the ground - will be too heavy for her.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33- As long as she relaxes - and runs well, I'll be happy.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43- As you can see, she's struggling - with that soft ground.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- The first four horses - have a substantial lead.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53- She's alright.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58- She's behaving herself - and I think she looks happy enough.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- We told the jockey to pull up - if he felt she was struggling.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09- If she doesn't like the ground, - she'll remember that next time.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- If she has a bad experience, - it will stay with her.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Let's see what happens.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20- I'll be surprised if she does - finish this race, to be honest.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- She looks happy - as she approaches the finish.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- She's done what you hoped she'd do - - she finished the race.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- Yes, I wanted her - to finish the race.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- I wanted her - to finish higher than that...
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- ..but this weather is beyond words.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- Briefly, Evan, - describe the events of today.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- What people don't understand - is you need days like this.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- People think we're mad, coming out - when they wind's blowing...
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- ..and the rain's tipping down - but it's important for us.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- We love horses - and we love seeing them perform.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- They were bred - to perform in these conditions.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17- National Hunt is all about days like - this, when tough horses win races.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- Even when it goes wrong, you get - enjoyment out of the preparation...
0:22:22 > 0:22:26- ..the competition and the - camaraderie involved in it all.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- Janet, how do you feel?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- SHE LAUGHS
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- I don't know what to say!
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- I'll keep my language respectable!
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- Ffos Las in the rain...
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- ..and two horses - which didn't perform at their best.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- Never mind.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- That's how it is - up and down.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- A horse on Evan's yard - is called Ups And Downs.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- We've had the downs today!
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Let's hope for more ups - in races to come.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Yes, of course.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- During the eight years - since we bought our first horse...
0:23:10 > 0:23:12- ..our world has changed.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18- Having horses means you forget about - any problems you may have.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- I lose myself completely...
0:23:22 > 0:23:28- ..when I watch the horses train, - when I have a cuppa with Evan...
0:23:28 > 0:23:32- ..chat to the jockey - and go to the big race meetings.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38- We're very lucky - to be part of the equine world.
