Im resisting getting into a spat on fb so I'll say my bit here amongst friends, I hope! I am so happy that NH and MB have found something that Constitution Hill can do. He is still relatively young, fit and wants to race - he seems to be enjoying himself. I don't think even they think that...

Desperate news just in about Sir Gino. RIP beautiful boy

Really interesting post Reynold, like you say, the training of racehorses is constantly adapting and I am pleased to hear a lot of the smaller yards are now trying to give the horses as normal a life a possible. One well known GN winning trainer told us on a yard visit a few years ago that he...

That’s so sad DDapple, jesus its worse than I imagined 😢

I have been to quite a few NH and flat yards over the years and went to Jo Davies' open day last year. She is one of the very good guys, all horses are treated as individuals and not rushed, all had massive haynets and happy faces. Sadly I have been to yards where this wasn't the case - horses...

Willsford is who you're probably thinking of if you're old enough. Jenny Pitman's horse, and it was equally as devastating. I was at work on Friday and recorded the racing, I've watched up until the lead up to the Gold Cup, I don't think I can watch it knowing about poor Envoi. Please for...

I don't remember seeing so many jumping errors in the Queen Mum!

I missed that, who did we lose in the last race? Devastated for connections.

SCREAMING at the TV. Yes I did watch it in the end, how brave was that horse., What a ride!

Its on in the other room, Kitzbuhel is wonderful but some of the jumping is way to x-rated for me!

AMAZING!

Did anyone also see the FB reel of his team travelling from yard to Cheltenham on the ferry? It looks a logistical nightmare, great teamwork.

Another one rooting for Golden Ace tomorrow, although (apologies to Dan and Harry) I'd be equally happy to see Lossiemouth pull away from them all going to the final hurdle. I'll be recording it like I do at the weekends, I'm wfh tomorrow and Wednesday but I'm also too chicken to watch it live...

Im so pleased you acknowledged this Paddy. What she and Endo have achieved is simply breathtaking and just shows what can be done with love and trust. I can't imagine the heartache. RIP Endo

Thanks for this Maddie, looks fab, I'l watch tomorrow when work is quiet ;) Humble I remember Oliver Skeete, there was such a hoohar about a black guy riding wasn't there, he always seemed like a nice guy. Didn't he take up riding because he'd taken his daughter for lessons and he thought he'd...
