Desert Orchid, the former steeplechaser, demonstrates the remarkable qualities of the new equine drug, Horspring, which enables horses to jump vertically rather than in the traditional lateral direction.
Developers of the drug hope to persuade the Jockey Club to stage next year’s Cheltenham Gold Cup in the high jump pit at Crystal Palace. “You know, we love going out in the morning at nine o’clock and hitting tennis balls with whoever. It doesn’t matter who it is.”Deep down, I simply love the game. If I’m patient enough, and if I give myself a chance over the next six months, then we’ll see.”The rackets can always be used for pleasure rather than business. “What people don’t understand often is why players, like myself, come into the sport is because we love the sport, in general,” he said. The idea is to be a Pilic, not a pillock.During his short visit to the Olympic Hall, Becker launched the latest book charting his astonishing career The title is apt, Advantage Becker.

We have tournaments like the Compaq Grand Slam Cup and the ATP World Championships in Hannover, and so many big tournaments which were built on our shoulders.
