‘If a horse calls me, I will spend time with it,’ says Andy Edwards whose L’Homme Presse lines up for the Christmas highlight
L’Homme Presse will be turned out as impeccably as his eight opponents before he goes to post for the King George VI Chase at Kempton Park on Monday, but away from the public gaze, when he is relaxing at Venetia Williams’s Herefordshire stable, the seven-year-old has a grubbier side to his character.
“He’s the muddiest of the muddy,” Andy Edwards, L’Homme Presse’s owner, said this week. “[His groom] Beth says, I let him out and the first thing he does is get caked in mud. His rug is caked, his mane, everything, constantly, because he loves it.”
