US SENATOR'S WIFE ENJOYS DAY AT THE RACES
Monday March 31, 2008
SURPRISE VISIT BY US PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE'S WIFE 
CINDY McCain, wife of the US
Presidential candidate Senator John McCain, was a surprise visitor
to Ayr Racecourse last Thursday.
Cindy, 50, attended the Property Raceday in the company of amateur
jockey Guy Willoughby and his wife Fiona and another friend Marilyn
Burke. All four are Trustees of the Halo Trust, the charity which
clears land mines from former war zones.
Mrs McCain watched as Guy Willoughby fell from his horse Oliverjohn
in the Dawn Homes Handicap.
She had earlier had lunch at Western House Hotel and enjoyed some
haggis, neeps and tatties before heading to the course where she
watched all seven races.
She also chatted to jockeys and racecourse staff in the Weighing
Room before leaving the course to return the Willoughbys home at
Thornhill, Dumfriesshire.
Cindy said : "I really enjoyed my day at the races. I have
been horse racing back home before but this was very special - it
was just a pity that Guy's horse fell. I thought he was going
very well at the time.
"I also enjoyed meeting the trainer of Guy's horse,
Lucinda Russell and who knows I might even get Lucinda to train a
horse for me and I could come over more often."
Racecourse spokesman Iain Ferguson said : "I was made aware Mrs McCain was in the company of Guy Willoughby and his party. She was a charming lady and enjoyed her meal at Western House but she didn't want any fuss made."
Our picture shows from left to right Cindy McCain, Guy Willoughby, Marilyn Burke, Fiona Willoughby and Lucinda Russell.
