She was aged only 19 and it was only her fifth ride on a racecourse. She rode a horse called Bold King's Hussar, bred by her grandad and finished fourteenth.[1] She went on to ride winners on the flat, over hurdles and fences.[2] In her eventing career she rode at Badminton Horse Trials and also represented Great Britain at the European Three Day Event Championships under 21.[2] She gave up competitive riding in 2000,[1] but has since ridden in charity races at the Cheltenham Festival.[3] Broadcasting careerPlunkett was on the main Channel 4 Racing team from 2001 to 2016 and then with ITV when they took over racing coverage in 2017. In recent years she had been one of the lead presenters for National Hunt Racing coverage.
