Pandora Hughes is a writer and gambler who has always retained a healthy suspicion of professional sportsmen and like any right-thinking person, rates Neville Cardus more highly than Don Bradman. She used the proceeds of her most successful Betfair wager (You’re Special in the 2006 Cheltenham Festival at 80-1) to set up the Campaign for Reintroduction of Uncovered Pitches. She enjoys the first morning sip of Earl Grey, the Tuesday roar at Cheltenham, and the mesmeric genius of Romaine Sawyers.
