Madam, - For me, the highlight of this year's Cheltenham Festival was undoubtedly Miss Nina Carberry's sublime win aboard Heads On The Ground in the penultimate race of the opening day of proceedings at the Mecca of National Hunt racing.
Long may she confound those armchair jockeys who persist in asserting that when it comes to displays of dexterous horsemanship (sic), a woman invariably plays second fiddle to a man. - Yours, etc,
PAUL DELANEY, Beacon Hill, Dalkey, Co Dublin.
