Fight The Feeling Prologue- Part 8 Album Release Party's And Lost Bets
Summary- You and Jack celebrate the release of Come Home The Kids Miss You, and attend the Kentucky Derby together while still keeping your relationship a secret.
Tumblr media
As soon as you and Jack got back from your anniversary trip, Jack started promo for Come Home The Kids Miss You, while also continuing to work with his jeweler to get your engagement ring made. Over the almost 2 months of promo, you and Jack saw each other several times, since you officially moved to Kentucky it was easier now that you could both go home on your breaks and didn’t have to make up some excuse why you wanted to fly to whatever random city the other was in. 
With Jack’s album release, he was throwing an album release party, which you were attending. Everyone attending had already signed NDAs to enter, but there were people invited who weren’t aware you were dating, so you still had to be careful. 
You and Jack were currently getting ready at your apartment, your apartment was closer to the party venue. You had been splitting your time between the two apartments, agreeing that once Jack was done filming and after he was finished with his tour, you two would move in together officially. It just didn’t make sense for you to move in together, go to Los Angeles for a couple months, and then you go home, and Jack goes on tour. 
You were currently trying to zip up your dress, while Jack was in the living room putting his shoes on. Even though you were getting ready together, you decided to arrive separately.
Jack walked into your bedroom to tell you he was leaving and say goodbye, when he saw you struggling with your dress.
“Baby, do you need help?” Jack asked, walking up behind you, his hands already reaching for the zipper. 
“Yes please.” You told Jack and he started to pull the zipper up.
“You know, I usually help you take dresses off, but I guess I’ll make an exception and help you put this one on, but I’ll be taking it off later.” Jack said and you laughed softly.
“Let’s be honest, we’ll probably come home and fall asleep.” You said and Jack laughed.
“Hey, I can hope.” 
“Well, either way you’ll be taking it off of me because I can’t reach the zipper.”  You joked and Jack laughed again.
“I guess that’s true.” Jack said as you turned to face Jack.
“Are you leaving?” You asked, placing your hand on Jack’s chest gently. Jack nodded.
“Yeah, I’m about to leave.” Jack said. “I’m just going to drive myself over, I got a car coming to pick you up in about 30 minutes. We should be able to leave together, everyone staying late either knows we’re together or will be too drunk to notice.” Jack said and you nodded. 
“I love you and I’m so, so proud of you.” You told Jack, wrapping your arms loosely around his neck, gently pulling him down to kiss him.
“I love you too and thank you. I couldn’t have done it without you, truly.” Jack said, resting his hands on your hips. 
“Now, go, before your late.” You said and Jack laughed.
“I don’t want to go without you.” Jack admitted.
“I know.” You said, adjusting his shirt as you talked. “I don’t want to have to go separate either, but we were talking about telling more people, so we won’t have to stay as hidden for much longer. What did we say? After you’re done filming?” You asked and Jack nodded.
Jack sighed, one of his hands in his pocket, playing with the ring box he had in his pocket. He had just picked up your engagement ring from the jewelers earlier in the day, part of Jack wanted to propose right away, he had even considered doing it at the album release party, but there were to many people that were going to be there that didn’t know you were together. 
He also wanted the proposal to be private, since your whole relationship was based off your privacy, and a party was the opposite of private. He also thought it might be nice to propose with friends and family around. Essentially Jack had no idea how he wanted to propose, he just knew he wanted you to be his fiancé. He brought the ring anyways just in case.
“I know, only a couple more months and I can show you how much I love you publicly as much as I do privately.” Jack said and you gave him a look. “Okay, maybe not as much, but I am still interested in having sex on a yacht.” Jack said, referencing his song lyrics.
“We’ve discussed this, I’m not fucking you on a yacht.” You said, pretending to be annoyed but a hint of humor in your voice.
“All I’m saying, is the offer still stands.” Jack said, both of you laughing.
“Okay, now seriously, go before you’re late to your own party.” You said and Jack nodded.
“I love you, I’ll see you soon. Text me when you leave?” Jack said, leaning down to kiss you.
“I love you too. I’ll see you in like 30 minutes. I will.” You said and Jack nodded, kissing you one more time before he left.
Several hours later and Jack’s album was officially released, the album release party turning more into a club party. You and Jack had been socializing with different people in the room, finally taking a few minutes to talk to each other. You had been talking for about 15 minutes isolated in the corner of the room when Neelam approached Urban.
“Does Jack have a crush on Y/N?” Neelam attempted to whisper over the music to Urban.
“On Y/N?” Urban asked, looking over at you and Jack before looking back at Neelam. It was hard to deny, anyone who knew Jack could tell by the way he leaned into you when he laughed at whatever joke you made that the way he interacted with you was different from the way he interacted with anyone else.
“Yeah. They’ve been talking for a little while now, off in the corner, alone. I’ve never seen him interact with someone like he is with Y/N that he doesn’t have a crush on.” Neelam said.
“Oh really?” Urban asked, trying to deflect her question. “I don’t think he’s acting different.” 
“He totally is.” Neelam said, taking a sip of her drink. 
“How many of those have you had, does someone need to cut you off.” Urban teased, Neelam laughed but shook her head.
“For your information, this is my second drink.” Neelam said before bringing the subject back to you and Jack. “Isn’t she coming to the Kentucky derby with us?” She asked and Urban nodded.
“Yeah, I invited her.” 
“Do you have a crush on her? You’ve invited her several places now. I can’t believe I’ve never but that together. That’s so cute.”
“No, I don’t have a crush on her, we’re just friends. Nothing more.”  Urban said and Neelam looked at him suspiciously.
“Look at the way they are interacting.” Neelam said and Urban glanced over at you two. Jack had leaned down to whisper something into your ear, you were giggling at whatever he said. “You’re going to look at them and tell me they don’t have feelings for each other.”
“Okay, one, make up your mind, am I in love with her or is Jack? Two, yes, that is what I’m going to tell you.” Urban lied. 
“I’m still trying to figure it out. You can say that all you want, but I don’t believe you. Well, maybe they don’t realize it, but they like each other.”
“Weren’t you saying how you thought she had a boyfriend? Based on her Instagram or something? Plus, you know Jack, he flirts with everybody.” Urban said and Neelam sighed.
“Fine, but the second I can try to get them together, I’m doing it, they would be adorable.” Neelam said before she walked away. 
It was a couple more hours until all of Jack’s industry friends left, and only his close personal friends remained. You were sitting on Jack’s lap, his arms wrapped around your waist, and his chin resting on your shoulder. 
“Baby, please drink this.” Jack said, handing you his bottle of water. You had a couple drinks, and you were just a little over tipsy, not out of control, but still drunk. You pouted softly but took the bottle from Jack, taking a drink out of it. “Thank you.” Jack placed his chin back on your shoulder. You turned your head to kiss his forehead, giggling softly at the lipstick kiss mark left behind, wiping it off.
Urban walked over to the group, carrying more shots. Jack laughed at how you perked up as Urban handed you one of the shots. 
“You can take the shot, but you have to finish the bottle of water if you do.” Jack said and you pouted again.
“That’s no fun.” You joked before you took the shot.
“I just don’t want you to be hungover tomorrow.” Jack said, his thumb rubbing your hip as you picked up the bottle of water, finishing it before setting it back down.
“I know. I’m good though, I promise, but thank you for taking care of me.” You said. 
“Why don’t we just go back to Jack’s place?” Clay asked, they were all trying to find a place to have a little after party.
“I’m not even going back to my place.” Jack said.
“You’re going to Y/N’s place?” Sunni asked and Jack nodded.
“We could go there.” Copeland suggested.
“Nope, we are not having an after party at my place, I just moved in.” You said and Jack laughed softly. “You can all come over, but you are not having a party.” 
“It’ll be more of a hang out then a party.” Urban said and you sighed.
“Fine, but I’m going straight to bed, and you are cleaning up any mess you make.” You said and Urban nodded.
Everyone ended up back at your apartment, but you meant it when you said you were going to bed, Jack going to bed when you did.
Since Jack’s party was Thursday night/Friday morning, you both took Friday to have a rest day, Jack had a couple short interviews, but he did them over the phone, so he didn’t have to leave your apartment. Luckily Jack’s friends didn’t make too much of a mess, and the mess they did make, Jack made sure they cleaned up before they left in the morning, since they all stayed the night. 
Saturday at the Kentucky Derby, you walked the red carpet before Jack did, being led to his private box shortly after where you met up with him and his friends. Attending the Kentucky Derby together without anyone knowing you were together was challenging. Not only was it the most public appearance you two had done since you started dating, but Jack was also filming a music video. 
That meant you and Jack had to be extremely strategic with how you acted. No private conversations, no quick kisses, or touches when no one was looking. Luckily the camera crew, along with most of Jack’s work team, left the box to go set up for a shot they wanted to get outside of the box so for the first time since you got there, Jack was able to sit down next to you on one of the couches.
“Having fun?” Jack asked, all his attention suddenly on you. Only a couple of Jack’s friends were left in the room.
“I am.” You nodded, fixing his suit jacket. “Are you?” You asked.
“I am, it’s stressful trying to hide though.” Jack said and you agreed. 
“Yeah, it is, but I think we’ve done pretty well so far.” You said.
“You look amazing.” Jack complimented you.
“Thank you.” You smiled. “I’m glad you went with the white suit, it looks great on you.” You told him and he blushed lightly.
“Thank you.” He said, quickly glancing around the room, making sure no one that didn’t know you were dating was around before leaning over to kiss you. “I’ve been wanting to do that all day.” Jack admitted and you smiled softly.
“Me too.” You whispered before kissing him one more time. “So how much money did you bet?”
“Uhh, you don’t want to know.” Jack said, laughing softly.
“Jackman, you said you said you weren’t going to bet that much.” You reminded him. You weren’t mad at him for betting his own money, but he had asked you to make sure he didn’t bet to much money, and of course, you went to the bathroom and in the less then 10 minutes you were gone Jack placed his bets.
“Yeah, but Drake was betting, so I kind of maybe just bet what he did.” Jack said.
“You’re right, you can keep that amount to yourself.” You teased, laughing softly. 
“But I had to, I mean the horse was named Happy Jack, I’m named Jack, and I’m also happy, so it was meant to be.” Jack defended himself.
“You won’t be so happy if you lose the bet.”
“Well, then we rename the horse to Sad Jack.” Jack said, you rolled your eyes, but you couldn’t help but giggle at his stupid joke.
“You’re so lucky I fell in love with you a year ago, because if you would have said that when we first met, I don’t think we would be here right now.” You joked, making Jack laugh.
“Oh, don’t lie, you love me and my ‘stupid’ jokes.” Jack said. “You even laughed at that one.” 
“It was a pity laugh.” You teased.
Eventually the crew came back into the box, so you and Jack separated again, you chose to stay in the box while everyone else went out to film, not wanting to be seen together by the public. 
Overall, the day went well, no one suspected anything between you and Jack, you didn’t end up being in any of the shots they used for the music video, and you and Jack both enjoyed yourselves. The only part of the day that didn’t go to plan was Jack losing the bet he placed. 
The couple of days after the Kentucky Derby were spent starting to pack things up for moving to California for a few months so Jack could start filming.

New Post has been published on All about business online
New Post has been published on https://yaroreviews.info/2023/12/tim-martin-wetherspoon-boss-knighted-in-new-year-honours
Tim Martin: Wetherspoon boss knighted in New Year Honours
PA Media
The founder of the Wetherspoon pub chain Tim Martin has been knighted in the New Year Honours list.
The Brexit campaigner has been recognised for his services to hospitality and culture.
He was one of the most high-profile business people to argue in favour of leaving the EU during the 2016 referendum campaign.
Meanwhile, there was also a knighthood for Conservative MP and former cabinet minister Sajid Javid.
Sir Tim said the news of his knighthood came “out of the blue” and “had never been expected”.
“I always think that, in the pub world, it is a team effort – even if you’ve just got one pub there are many people involved,” he told the PA news agency.
“I think it’s the Wetherspoon colleagues and customers who are getting the award really, that’s the way I look at it. I’m just the lucky recipient.”
He added: “I’d like to think [the knighthood] is not for my rarely disclosed political views – I hope it is for what it says on the tin.”
How does the honours system work?
Wetherspoons denies Brexit causing staff shortage
New Year Honours for Michael Eavis and Jilly Cooper
Sir Tim, who was born in Norwich, founded the pub chain in 1979 and has been the company’s chairman since 1983.
The businessman had previously studied law and qualified as a barrister.
His first venue was in Muswell Hill, north London, and was originally called Martin’s Free House, before being renamed JD Wetherspoon the following year.
The chain, which became known for its affordable prices, floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1992.
In its early years the company’s pubs were all in the capital but from the 1990s it expanded across the UK and now has more than 800 venues.
Getty Images
An outspoken supporter of Brexit, Sir Tim was a major donor to the Vote Leave campaign, which was fronted by Boris Johnson and Michael Gove.
During the 2016 campaign Wetherspoon’s spent nearly £95,000 on pro-Brexit beermats, posters and booklets, which were distributed across the company’s pubs.
Despite backing Mr Johnson to be prime minister, Sir Tim went on to be a vocal critic of the impact of lockdowns on hospitality venues during the Covid pandemic.
He accused the then-PM of “hypocrisy” over parties held at Downing Street, while pubs were forced to close.
Fellow Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage said the honour was “well deserved”.
“Tim Martin has created an extraordinary business, given great value to customers and preserved some wonderful historic buildings,” he told the BBC.
“I have appeared with him all over the country in the battle for Brexit and he is great company.”
PA Media
Sir Sajid, who has served six cabinet roles, is among the political names to be honoured.
Elected as the Tory MP for Bromsgrove in 2010, he became the first cabinet minister of Asian descent when he was appointed culture, media and sport secretary four years later.
He has since served as home secretary, chancellor and health secretary but last year said he would stand down as an MP at the next general election.
His resignation from Mr Johnson’s cabinet in July 2022, alongside then-Chancellor Rishi Sunak, marked the beginning of the end for the then prime minister, who announced he would stand down just two days later.
PA Media
Labour’s Dame Margaret Beckett, who was the first woman to serve as foreign secretary, also received an honour.
She will become a Dame Grand Cross after already being made a Dame Commander in 2013.
First elected as the MP for Lincoln in 1974, Dame Margaret has represented Derby South for more than 40 years but is standing down at the next election.
She briefly served as acting leader of the Labour Party in 1994 after the sudden death of John Smith.
However, she lost out to Tony Blair in the leadership election that followed.
Other politicians to receive honours include:
Labour MP for Mitcham and Morden Siobhain McDonagh will be made a Dame Commander
Labour MP for Makerfield Yvonne Fovargue becomes a CBE
Conservative MP for Erewash, Maggie Throup, who served as vaccines minister during the later stages of the Covid pandemic, becomes an OBE
Conservative MP for Wyre Forest Mark Garnier and Bristol’s Labour mayor Marvin Rees have also been made an OBE
New Year honours are awarded by the King, following recommendations by the prime minister or senior government ministers.
Members of the public can also recommend people for an award.

EMEA VALORANT lead wants to eventually bring major VCT rivalry matches to local fans
Tumblr media
The 10 partnered VALORANT clubs battled in the inaugural EMEA VCT league from the recently built Coliseum inside the Messe Berlin Charlottenburg in Germany in front of rabid fans. The league's creators hope to someday take the show on the road, though it might be a while before that occurs. In an interview with EMEA VALORANT lead Daniel Ringland in the midst of the ongoing EMEA LCQ, Dot Esports asked him about the potential of taking VCT regular season matches and hosting them where the team’s loyal fan bases could show up in waves. Ringland referenced the match between BBL Esports and FUT Esports in the final week of the regular season, in a battle between the league’s two Turkish teams. “Both had individual watch parties in Istanbul, and a total of 6,000 fans turned up to watch them,” Ringland told Dot Esports. “And that’s without the players even being there, so I can only imagine that if we had FUT vs. BBL in a stadium in Istanbul, then there would have been way more than 6,000 fans and they would have been even more excited. So it’s something we would love to do.” Taking special occasion regular season matches on the road isn’t a new concept to esports; both the Overwatch League and the Call of Duty League have historically held “homestands” and “home series” respectively, giving the local fans of a franchise the opportunity to see a big rivalry match in-person without having to travel far, although those were temporarily shelved in 2020 due to the emerging COVID-19 pandemic. But these events were pivotal in creating dedicated fans for each league via an unforgettable in-person experience. Other than the previously mentioned Turkish head-to-head match, Ringland also expressed interest in potentially holding matches in France or Spain, where regional rivalries like Karmine Corp vs. Gentle Mates and Giants vs. KOI would expectedly take center stage. But don’t start planning to take time off work just yet. “It brings a lot of complexity and technical challenges that we would need to be mindful of, so I don’t think it’s something we’re likely to see anytime soon,” Ringland said. “But it would definitely be an aspiration for us to be able to take at least some games on the road, especially for those local derbies. That would be really cool.” In the interview, Ringland acknowledged the technical issues and the number of pauses seen this year as an area where “no one was satisfied.” Taking the matches on the road to new venues would increase the chances of more tech issues, but Ringland is already expecting that aspect of the broadcast experience to be “much better next year.” If that is the case, then perhaps it raises the chances of VCT EMEA going on tour sooner rather than later.

Five Reasons to Spend a Weekend in Newcastle
Newcastle is located at the Tyne riverbank. A prosperous and developed city, it is one of the most visited holiday destinations in the United Kingdom. Not only does it provide state of the art tourist amenities, but also high-end entertainment facilities for young and old alike. A Weekend in Newcastle is ideal for a short holiday for the following reasons:
Comfort Accommodation: To spend a great Weekend in Newcastle, you have to have good accommodation. The choices vary here in price, facilities, and proximity to the city's entertainment districts. The weekends are not just for the family, but also for stag and hen parties, youth groups and backpackers, and lodging and hotel food and entertainment options do not disappoint.
Great Food: You can expect both quiet and sophisticated, and light-hearted and casual eating places wherever you go in Newcastle.
It has a large harbor area with a park behind the river shore for quiet relaxation. The wharves host a plethora of bars, restaurants, and cafes and you will find the freshest seafood dishes here. Walking further into the city from Newcastle harbor, you will come across numerous other restaurants, both British and multicultural. Derby and Beaumont Streets are the doctors in newcastle dining hotspots of Newcastle and there are delicious cuisines and entertainment options found here.
Legendary Nightlife: Newcastle is one of the top 10 nightspots in the world. A buzzing place by night, you can expect excitement, thrills and delirious fun on your Weekend in Newcastle. For the same reason, Newcastle is also a popular stag and hen weekend destination.
The Quayside and the Big Market is traditionally the place to look for drinking establishments. However, new areas have emerged too, namely the Gay Village in west Newcastle that is also a fantastic venue for hen parties. Other pubs, bars and nightclubs are concentrated in Newcastle's shopping districts, and most tourist areas in the city.
Surfing Culture: Expect to indulge in some great water sports on your Weekend in Newcastle. Thanks to rolling waves and good wind conditions, the Newcastle Beach makes for great coastal breaks. It is also the home of the annual competition.
The Nobby's Beach is a sheltered part of the main beach, and on a windy day, is great for surfing. You will enjoy your walk to the lighthouse on the beach and then to Nobby's Island. The Bar and Mereweather Beaches on far south are great for surfing and swimming.
Cultural Tourism: No Weekend in Newcastle is complete without a tour of the many historical sites in the city. The New Castle railway Station, the old Customs House and the Fort Scratchley are the most famous of Newcastle's historical architecture.
The Newcastles Famous Tram, a replica of the old trams, gives a 45-minute tour of the city and runs out to the Hunter Valley. From Hunter Valley and Lake Macquarie, you can go up to the Mt. Sugarloaf for a view of the city.

What It’s Like to Attend This Event
It’s difficult to imagine that Caroliȵa International will help us reach Kentucky or, this time, the Olympics. More down in this article, we’ve covered the implications of this weekend, but suffice it to say that the Horse Park often has a lively atmosphere. There is something here to suit everyone, whether you’re a beginner competition competing in the Novice or a seasoned 5* horse visiting Kentucky. The staff at this function has gone above and beyond to make this occasion truly attracts the local neighborhood, which is something I always enjoy seeing. It’s not something you ȿee everyday. If you have n’t had a chance to see this venue yet, never fear! Ariel Grald and I will be going on a stadium move later this month, so keep an eye out for that on Carolina International social media.
The Officers
This week’s officials and rider representatives are listed in whole here.
For the Yanmar America CCI4*- S division, the Ground Jury will consist of Robert Stevenson ( USA ) as president and Peter Gray ( CAN ). Beth Perkins has designed the rest of the cross country programs, while Ian Stark has once more created the cross country for the 4* and Advanced groups. Additionally, Marc Donovan makes a cross-departmental style disρlay jump.

The Submissions
There‘s a stacked line– up in the feature CCI4*- S class, which features a number of highlights – you’ll be able to get the entire US Pan Ams team in action, for example, with&nbsp, Sydney Elliott and QC Diamantaire, Liz Halliday and Miks Master C, Sharon White and Claus 63, and individual gold medallists&nbsp, Caroline Pamukcu and HSH Blake&nbsp, all coming forth to vie for the title here. Elsewhere in the 38- strong field, you’ll find&nbsp, Jennie Brannigan and&nbsp, FE Lifestyle, winners of the Best Foremost- Timer award at the 2023 Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials, &nbsp, Will Faudree with the evergreen&nbsp, Pfun and the exciting&nbsp, Mama’s Magic Way, with whom he finished in the top twenty at Burghley last year– and the top ten here. Ariel Grald’s 2024 season kicks off with his Carolina pipe-opener as a stepping-stone to delivering but another barnstorming clear around one of the world’s five-star courses, though which one will continue to be seen.
Fans of&nbsp, Liz Halliday&nbsp, will be kept nearly as busy as the extremely- competitive woman herself: she has four rides in this class, and beyond the aforementioned&nbsp, Miks Master C, she’ll even ride USEF CCI4*- L National Champion&nbsp, Cooley Nutcracker&nbsp, ( top ten in his last six Li runs ), &nbsp, Cooley Moonshine ( purveyor of a very wise 25. 6 in the CCI4*- L at Rebecca last year ), and&nbsp, Cooley Quicksilver&nbsp, ( he’s again, baby – and needs little introduction after&nbsp, that Luhmühlen top- five finish in 2022! ). Liz is happy that Ocala Horse Properties supports her.
Doug Payne‘s making a pretty good effort at rivalling Liz’s busy schedule: he’s got three entered in the feature class in ten- year- old&nbsp, Camarillo, enormously experienced five– star machine&nbsp, Quantum Leap ( that ‘s&nbsp, five CCI5* top tens under his belt, if you’re counting! ) and the exciting nine- year- old&nbsp, Quiberon, who comes forward for just his third- ever four- star.
It will ƀe a treat to watch some of the biggest fan-favorable horses and riders in the US spend a lot of time globe-trotting, and it will be a treat to watch them do įt again on home soįl. Those include&nbsp, Emily Hamel‘s seriously high- flying&nbsp, Corvett, who’s our EN top tip for a horse you want to catch over a fence for your Insta story ( trust us! ), &nbsp, Allie Knowles and her five- star ride&nbsp, Morswood, Meghan Donoghue&nbsp, and the much- loved ex- racehorse&nbsp, Palm Crescent, &nbsp, and young rider&nbsp, Cassie Sanger and her exceptionally cool&nbsp, Fernhill Zorro, who delivered a performance well beyond their years at last year’s Boekelo CCI4*- L.
There’s two exciting entries up to bat for&nbsp, Phillip Dutton: &nbsp, Quasi Cool, who has seven top- ten FEI finishes with Phillip under his belt, but who had much of 2023 off games, is back in action and ready to deliver a comeback king performance, while the up- and- coming talent&nbsp, Possante will make his hotly- anticipated stateside four- star debut, having finished fifth in his sole previous run at the level in the prestigious eight- and- nine- year- old class at Blenheim with Emily King aboard.
Will Coleman and Diabolo. Photo by Shannon Brinkman Photography.
We’ll also see last year’s champion&nbsp, Will Coleman, though not on his 2023 winner Chin Tonic, but rather, his exciting Aussie import&nbsp, Diabolo, who comes to Carolina for his first FEI run of the year, off the back of two consecutive top- three finishes at the level at the end of last season.
The CCI4*- S might be Carolina’s crown jewel, but there’s plenty going on elsewhere in the divisions, too: there’s 36 classy combinations battling out in the CCI3*- S, 28 in the CCI2*- S, and 19 contesting the CCI1*, arguably the division all of us at Team EN are keenest to sneak a catch- ride in, especially after catching up with some of its competitors last year. Plus, with national classes from Novice through Advanced, you’ll never run out of combinations ƫo cheer on. Check out the entire entries right here.

The Implications
Although the Paris Olympics aɾe still a few months away and there are many important events on the calendar in the interim, Carolina’s CCI4*- S represents tⱨe first signifiçant step in the direction of booking a flight to France. A great run here will set horses and riders up for their spring long-format bids, whether that’s on the short list or, perhaps, a fight for the title at Kentucky, and the U. Ș. selectors will undoubtedly be watching these early-season performances closely.
Stories to Follow
OTTB lovers will have plenty of reasons to raise their voices on the sidelines, and one pair will be keen to keep an eye on closely in the CCI4*-S is Rachel Lawson and High Tide. As a busy source and producer, Rachel has α significant role in helping OTTBs find their persona and career after the track, and High Tidȩ is the horse that ignited that Iove affair for her. Find out more about their journey so far, and Rachel’s work with Thoroughbreds, in this profile.
Do pint-sized powerhouses scream in ყour heart? Then you’ll love watching&nbsp, Briggs Surratt and the teeny- weeny ( but do n’t tell her that! ) &nbsp, Corture, who tops out at just 14. 2hh but has yet to find a fence she thinks is too big for her. She was bred by fellow CCI4*- S competitor&nbsp, Elisa Wallace, who’ll be riding her 2022 USEF CCI3*- L National Champion, &nbsp, Renkum Corsair.
Speaking of breeding top sport horses, one rider who knows a thing or two about that is&nbsp, Alexa Thompson. She’s got two homebreds lined up to compete in the CCI3*- S –&nbsp, Parlez Clear&nbsp, and&nbsp, Clear Candidate&nbsp, — and while her CCI4*- S entry is n’t a homebred, there’s plenty of reason to lend her and&nbsp, Just To Be Clear your support. Alexa, who made her debut at the level in Europe last year while ωorking with France’s Maxime Lįvio, will be her first four-star in the US. Her debut at Strzegom in October saw her finish seventh in a hot field, beating some guy called …hang on, let us check our notes…Michael Jung? IDK, maybe you’ve heard of him.
We’ve also been informed that none other than Ian Stark himself will be competing this weekend in the Lumbee River EMC Festival Pro- Am Challenge, a friendly competition between professional and amateur riders. Carσline Pamukcu, α 5-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding who is a new addition to the program and ready to tackle the Open Ƭraining level with Ian riding, has lent him a horse. Do n’t worry, we’ll be doing plenty of documenting for this! Ian enjoys a little kick in the arm, and he’s not the first ƫime he’s done it. He competed with HSH Best Kept Secret at the Maryland 5 Star Championships in 2022.
Have a story tip from Carolina? We’d love to hear αbout it! Tip us by emailing]email&nbsp, protected].

The Biggest Beach Race Thank You! This was the race we’ve been dreaming of for 4 years, 3 days of wild beach racing, spectacular weather, gorgeous sunshine throughout, with great live music and amazing machines, all created a wonderful reunion of the entire ‘Milers’ community, doing what we all love most… simply messing around on the humble motorcycle. At the 2020 Beach Race, with 89mph winds and 10ft waves… mother nature won. In 2021, with a surprise tidal swell in the final minutes of ’The Derby’… the sea won! Since day 1 of the first ever Malle Mile race, we’ve always joked that “no one wins The Mile, we just all lose together, in style”… But in 2022, with everything on our side, this year, we all won the Beach Race and after 3 years of tough conditions, we’ve earned this! Thank you to everyone for coming, thank you to the beautiful town of Margate, to all of our after party venues, the DGR team, our partners, friends, family, marshals, racers and spectators. More than ever The Mile is yours! Here’s a first taste of the stunning race images from our official Beach Race photographer Sam Barham: 🏖🏍☀️📸 @sbarham @bck_london And this weekend at the BikeShed exhibition in London, we’ll be screening every one of Sams fantastic images in the Malle exhibition (before they go online next week), so come by and relive the fun, the sun and the sunburn! @mallelondon @persol @breitling_uk @redbulluk @northdownbrewery @jimmysicedcoffee @eastlondonliquorcompany @theragandbonemanuk @lovecafemargate @thealbionroomsmargate @thesundeckmargate @gentlemansride @benedictredgrove @movember @djdestructionuk @longy528 @brokenhandsband #TheMalleMileBeachRace #BeachRace #MotoPolo #MotorcycleRace #TheMileBeachRace #ClassicMotorcycle #CustomBike #CafeRacer #OffRoadRace #Motorcycle #SprintRace #MargateSands #Margate #PreparedToGetLost (at Margate Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeDaqpvIWLE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
