They're off at Kempton Park at 3.30 - hoping for an update from Paul Chalmers (Jenny's handler today) but in the meantime I've just found this footage of Jenny's sterling effort in the 2012 race:

I'm hearing that Jenny struggled with the hot conditions today and managed tenth or twelfth - a sterling effort!

Please pass on my congratulations to Jenny, and of course, her handler.

If twitter is to be believed, there is a race feature on The One Show, BBC1 at 6.30pm.

The temperature affected Jenny I think, out in that heat with her massive coat of fur for 45 minutes affected her!! She came in comfortable in mid division, though not seen any footage of race yet for an exact position.

Was Jenny's collapse at the end for comic effect or out of sheer exhaustion?

Jenny can't talk or write Andy - We'll never know for sure.

She is admittedly a giraffe of few words but told me it was a bit of both!!
She's able to have a Facebook and twitter page so she obviously has good communication skills Mr OA

The video clip seems to show a 'DNF'. Can we confirm she crossed the finish line ?
