Good evening. late news at 10pm. | :00:07. | :00:00. | |
The Cheltenham festival may have grabbed the horse racing headlines | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
this week but it was Staffordshire's turn in the spotlight today. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |

This is Graham Butterworth's busiest weekend of the year. | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
Midlands Grand National, completely booked... | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
All his rooms have been booked by racegoers | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
and he could have booked them out twice over. | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
