“Reined In” the album released by Furlong Factor winner Lara Telfer is now available to download with all profits going to Racing Welfare and Mind.
She has teamed up with Yellow Shark Studios and Gold Cup Music to produce the 10-track album of covers in aid of Racing Welfare, horseracing’s industry-wide charity, and MIND charity. The album is now available to download on iTunes and Spotify here: www.laratelfer.co.uk. and can also be purchased at www.thejockeyclub.co.uk/cheltenham.
Having never performed in public – other than during the competition – nor recorded in a studio, Lara took to the mic to record her own versions of songs by Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Paolo Nutini, Elvis Presley, Ed Sheeran, James Bay, Birdy, Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys and Foo Fighters. Paul Bond, also known as “Asti” , was in the studio with her and recorded six live tracks to guitar to feature on the album.
Lara’s performances on ‘Furlong Factor’ not only won her £1,500 and an all-expenses-paid trip to Paris for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in October, they also won her an army of fans from across the sport. ITV Racing presenter Oli Bell said at the time: “They’re all brilliant but someone needs to give Lara Telfer a record deal.” And former Love Island star-turned racing presenter Chris Hughes added: “Love this girl. She deserves to win, get voting today for Lara Telfer!”
