Katchit better value than odds-on Big Buck’s in today’s big race

HE is some way from being a household name in the racing business, but Willie Amos, the farmer/trainer from the Borders, is right up there among the Nicholls, Hendersons and Kings
who are bidding to win the feature race, the Ladbroke World Hurdle, at the Festival today.

Amos, who has only 20 horses in his stable, sends Lie Forrit to Cheltenham to take on the mammoth yards and superstars who will vie with each other for the first prize of almost £150,000.
