In this month’s episode Ilka and her co-host Stephen Wallis review Art & Horse Racing, the highly successful fineart exhibition which was held at Saint Wendred’s on 6th and 7th May. Over 130 items of artwork were on display in Ilka’s picturesque stable setting. The inaugural event was so popular that future Art & Horse Racing exhibitions are now being planned by Ilka. “It started with a little idea in the middle of the night in January,” said Ilka. The podcast features feedback from six of the fourteen international artists and Vantage Point Racing club member Debbie Nicholls adds her thoughts on the weekend in Newmarket. Ilka reveals further feedback from other artists, plans for the future along with details of the competition winner. But Saint Wendred’s is also a busy racing stable.
