Congratulations to Matthew Hancock (1996, PPE), MP for West Suffolk, who recently won the Newmarket Cavalry Charge charity race.
Mr Hancock had to lose over a stone to be able to compete in the charity race, as well as learn how to handle a race horse. He rode Dick Doughtywylie to a three-length victory over the mile-long race at Newmarket.
Mr Hancock raised over £10,000 for Racing Welfare and the Household Cavalry Operational Casualties Fund. You can view a video of the race here.
