SEPTEMBER 2015 – Devon’s Cary Arms, situated in the picturesque Babbacombe Bay, has linked up with racing royalty and nearby Exeter Races to create the ultimate holiday break for race-goers. National treasure and Grand National winner, Bob Champion MBE is inviting guests to join him for a very special weekend where guests will have a chance to enjoy a three course dinner with the legendary jockey and hear all about his life story which is played out in the book ‘Champion’s Story’ and was made into a movie starring John Hurt. The next day, guests will be able to try out the top tips gleaned from the racing champ in a day at the nearby Exeter Races, along with luncheon and a free raceday tour.
Fliss Crosby, general manager of the Cary Arms, said: “All of the team at the Cary Arms are so excited to welcome Bob Champion. We’re really looking forward to giving our guests the opportunity to meet this national treasure and learn the fascinating story of his life.’
Born into a hunting family, Bob was riding almost as soon as he could walk. With a racing career taking him to the States, Bob rode several winners and enjoyed a fruitful sporting career, until, at the age of 30, he was given the devastating news that he had cancer and was given six months to live. Bob came through the chemotherapy and returned to riding, against all odds, with several winners.
In 1981 Bob won the Grand National on Aldaniti, and two years later finally retired from racing after over 500 wins, including The Tote Eider Chase, The Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup, The Black & White Hurdle, The SGB Chase, The SGB Hurdle and the Whitbread Trial Chase.
Awarded an MBE, Bob formed the Bob Champion Cancer Trust which, to date, has raised over ten million pounds towards cancer research.
