There were poignant and emotional scenes at Cheltenham Racecourse on Wednesday as the partner of Michael O'Sullivan was on hand to witness Marine Nationale and Jazzy Matty race to victory on Day Two of the Festival.
The Cork jump jockey tragically passed away last month following a racing accident in Thurles and his partner Charlotte Giles was invited over to watch the racing. Queen Camilla was on hand to present the trophy following the victory and embraced Charlotte during the trophy presentation.“Michael loved the horse very much, they started their careers together and went on a journey together,” she said.“At the last jump, I kind of got a bit of a fright, but Michael was certainly with him every step of the way and it was incredible to watch it.
“In moments like this, we get a great sense that he is here with us. I think it’s moments like this that show he is here with us and he’ll always be there.”"The whole thing with Michael over the last three or four weeks has been absolutely horrible and my thoughts and prayers are with the family, his friends and his girlfriend.Fast forward to the very next race and Jazzy Matty raced to victory in the Debenhams Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Challenge Cup Handicap Chase.
