Three Peaks Yacht Race: In the spirit of Tilman

Sam Griffiths and his team of pupils take part in the gruelling 2022 Three Peaks Yacht Race, sailing to the highest mountains in Wales, England and Scotland

The whole of Barmouth was out, the band was playing, even the sun was making an appearance; the 44th Three Peaks Yacht Race was about to begin, writes Sam Griffiths
And this year it was extra special: two school teams, Shrewsbury and Sedbergh were entering for the first time.
With six pupils each, two adult sailors and an adult runner or two, we would enter the Challenge Class which allows engines.
While this would help them at times of no wind and an adverse tide, the jury was still out as to just how long it would take such youngsters to cover the gruelling land legs.
A fresh westerly breeze had picked up as the yachts vied for position across the start line before the teams were released across Cardigan Bay; the five-day-plus adventure had started in earnest!

Surrounded by stunning views, we were even able to see the grandeur of Snowdon far to the north, the summit of which was our goal in the morning.
For now, though, we had to inch past the great tidal headland that is the Llŷn Peninsula.
Yachts come in close here, hoping for a back eddy to propel them around the corner before they can be somewhat released north-east towards Anglesey.
The light was now fading but we had a fast point of sail for Simon Ridley’s Swan 46, Gertha 5 , that he had so kindly agreed to skipper for us.
A sailor of vast experience, he’d even completed the race before and was joined by the similarly capable Malcolm Corcoran.

Creeping over Caernarfon Bar at 0430, the engine went on, only for it to feel like an eternity for us to reach the dock.
The runners climbed the pier for the obligatory kit check, before trotting through the sleepy streets; our Snowdon ‘nearly marathon’ of 24 miles had begun.
Oscar Dickins, Ed Scott, Tim Strebel and Hamish Griffiths were with me.
By the time we turned left up the Watkins Path, we were already going slower when in the sanctuary of the shady sections. We summited, and quickly turned downhill and let gravity help us as we tried to stay ahead.

We stepped up to a furious pace along the busy road back to Caernarfon, just reaching the boat in a run of just under four hours.
This ensured that we could just creep through the Menai Strait with inches to spare.
We were relieved to hoist sail at Puffin Island, knowing that our first country, Wales, was now behind us.

Uncertainty about sailing overseas due to COVID-19 will see many of us cruising closer to home this season. New experiences…
The earliest we could get into the lock at Whitehaven was 0700 Monday morning and so a leisurely lunch was rustled up. Gertha 5 was soon becalmed though and the engine was resorted to as we made our steady way north through the Irish Sea and the accompanying darkness.
Dodging offshore wind farms became our main excitement as copious amounts of pasta was consumed and an early and calm night’s sleep was had.
Anchoring off Whitehaven for a couple of hours, we were eventually let in, side by side with Sedbergh, but with two very different game plans for the daunting 53-mile bike/run ahead.

We chose to use the full 12-hour cycle and give our entire team a run out, thus Anna Booker and Sophie Whiteman joined us.
Finally, on our mountain bikes, we rode towards the fells and were soon blown away by the beauty of Elterwater.
Locking up the bikes at the Black Sail Youth Hostel and ascending the pass, we were somewhat taken aback by the length of the descent into Wasdale head; by the time we reached this checkpoint we had been going four hours and we had not yet started climbing Scafell Pike.
The almost absurd splendour of the Lakes couldn’t quite disguise the feeling that we would not make it back in time for the 1900 tide.

After riding and running for eight hours, we were starving; we made a sheepish stop for a sandwich and a Coke at the Wasdale Head Inn.
This might have tarnished the image of hardened mountaineers and sailors, but it did wonders for morale, and we returned to the boat in triumph exactly 12 hours after we set out.
But the nature of this famous old race is one of highs and lows.
As we chased down Sedbergh’s pacy monohull, all the hours in the sun and the confused sea off the Mull of Galloway saw some succumb to the dreaded mal de mer.
By 1000 Tuesday we had made it past the final headland that was the Mull of Kintyre.

The Mordor-esque views of the Paps of Jura soon mesmerised us as the wind held enough for us to stem the last of the ebb through the potentially boat-stopping tidal gates of Fladda.
Our mood continued to rise as, abreast of Kerrera, we knew the magic carpet that was now the flooding tide would take us all the way up the ever-narrowing Loch Linnhe to our final port of call: Fort William.

At first light on Wednesday, it was clear that the hot weather was no longer.
News of freezing conditions on ‘The Ben’, coupled with Sedbergh’s now 27-minute lead was enough to see us belting along Corpach’s tow path.
Spirits eventually rose though, as we through the freezing mist, we caught Sedbergh having their compulsory summit photo taken.
Although we overtook them by Red Burn, when they’d stopped to strip off layers, they passed us again when we had to do the same
Clearly a dramatic climax to five days of non-stop racing was ahead and, with just two of the overall 18 miles to go, we were relieved to haul them in again and finally collapse exhausted across the finish line.
This being the Challenge Class there are rightly no winners as the benefit of occasional engine use is impossible to quantify.
It was therefore the happiest of comradeship that ensued as Sedbergh were applauded home: together our pupils had added another significant chapter to one of Britain’s toughest and most historic adventure races. www.threepeaksyachtrace.co.uk

Travers Stakes 2024 predictions, odds, horses, time, post positions, entries: Expert picks from racing insider
When is the travers stakes 2024 the travers 2024 takes place on saturday at 6:10 p.m. et at saratoga race course.
Belmont and Haskell Stakes winner Dornoch can clinch Champion Three-Year-Old Male honors when he faces seven others in the 2024 Travers Stakes on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course in Upstate New York. A full brother to last year's Kentucky Derby winner, Mage, Dornoch has three wins in five starts this year. He is the only 3-year-old male with two Grade 1 victories this year (Belmont and Haskell Stakes). On Saturday, he is the 5-2 favorite in the 2024 Travers Stakes odds. Kentucky Oaks heroine Thorpedo Anna and Florida Derby winner Fierceness are the co-second choices in the 2024 Travers Stakes field at 3-1.
Blue Grass Stakes winner Sierra Leone (7-2) and the undefeated Unmatched Wisdom (8-1) round out the top five favorites among the eight 2024 Travers Stakes horses. Post time for the $1.3 million race is 6:10 p.m. ET. With several accomplished horses set to enter the starting gate on Saturday, you'll want to see what Santa Anita Park-based racing reporter and analyst Michelle Yu has to say before making any 2024 Travers Stakes picks .
Few people in racing are as well-connected as Yu. An on-air host and reporter who has provided racing analysis for TVG, HRTV and the Breeders' Cup, Yu has spent a lifetime in racing. Prior to her television career, she worked for trainers Steve Asmussen and Ron Moquett. She also is married to Santa Anita-based trainer Ryan Hanson.
Yu also has tremendous handicapping chops. In a wide-open Kentucky Derby in 2021, she gave out Medina Spirit, who crossed the finish line first, as the winner at 12-1. In Pool 5 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager two years ago, she suggested a play on All Other 3-Year-Olds, which cashed at a whopping 18-1 when Rich Strike won the Derby.
She enters the Travers Stakes on a roll. She correctly called National Treasure to win the Pegasus World Cup, predicted Stronghold's upset win in the Santa Anita Derby, en route to a $219.50 payday, and smashed the exacta in the Apple Blossom Handicap as part of a $410 score. On the Belmont Stakes undercard, she nailed National Treasure's win in the Met Mile ($235) and had both the winner and exacta in the Woody Stephens Stakes. Anyone who has followed her is way up.
For the 2024 Travers Stakes, Yu has handicapped the field, made her picks and constructed her best bets. You can head to SportsLine now to see them .
Top 2024 Travers Stakes predictions
One surprise: Yu is completely fading Fierceness, even though he's one of the favorites at 3-1. Fierceness hasn't run much since finishing 15th at the Kentucky Derby. Fierceness was the Kentucky Derby favorite before his disappointing result and the horse didn't run in either of the next two Triple Crown races. He was a healthy scratch from the Haskell Stakes on July 20 before finally running and winning the Jim Dandy (G2) at Saratoga on July 27. After going nearly three months between the Kentucky Derby and Jim Dandy, this will be a much quicker turnaround and training period for Fierceness.
That Kentucky Derby image of Fierceness finishing at the back of the pack is hard to erase. Even though it was only one race, it was the best field Fierceness had ever run against. He's also never won back-to-back races, an alarming trend coming off a victory, and distance hasn't been his friend. The 2024 Travers Stakes will be just the second time he's raced 1 1/4 miles with the other time coming, yes, at the Kentucky Derby. At 3-1 odds, Yu is staying away from Fierceness in 2024 Kentucky Derby bets. You can see all of Yu's 2024 Travers Stakes bets here .
How to make 2024 Travers Stakes picks
Moreover, Yu's top pick is a horse who has still has plenty of naysayers, but Yu isn't deterred. She is including this horse in her 2024 Travers bets, and so should you. She's sharing which 2024 Travers Stakes horses to back only at SportsLine .
So who wins the 2024 Travers Stakes, and how has Yu constructed her wagers? Visit SportsLine to see Yu's picks for the Travers Stakes 2024, all from the Santa Anita-based racing insider who has been red-hot all year , and find out.
