I travel to West Lockinge Farm to speak to Gold Cup winning trainer Henrietta Knight.
Henrietta married former three time champion National Hunt jockey Terry Biddlecombe in 1995. Terry died on 5 January 2014. Both were recovering alcoholics.
Among her better known victories were training the triple Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Best Mate, and the Queen Mother Champion Chase winner Edredon Bleu. Both horses also won the King George VI Chase and were owned by Jim Lewis and his late wife Valerie.
Among her other stable stars have been Calgary Bay who won the Dipper Chase at Cheltenham in January 2009, Somersby, who impressed many in the top novice events at the Aintree and Cheltenham Festivals, and Racing Demon, the winner of the Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon Racecourse in 2006 and 2007.
Henrietta announced her retirement from training on 24 May 2012.
