As well as being arguably the greatest sire ever, GALILEO was smarter than your average thoroughbred. He would often grab some hay, position it carefully at the bottom of the "V" on his door grill and then rest his jaw on it for comfort!

Thank you all so much for the incredibly kind messages about Dad which are really appreciated🙏🏻 If you’d like to join me and raise a glass to Pat as he crosses the line on Ayala I’m sure he’d enjoy that🥂

I miss my father and our daily chats on WhatsApp so much.
A friendly piece of advice to you all......be sure to contact your loved ones as often as you possibly can and tell them that you love them. So much can happen within 48 hours........this was our final conversation🥲
We celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary today❤️
I’m incredibly lucky to share my life with my best friend Donna who I love to bits and can’t begin to thank her enough for everything she does for me. She’s a wonderful wife and a fantastic mother to our daughters Lauren & Emma😍
Does anyone else find they spend so much of their time continuously switching off lights in empty rooms at home left on by their wife and children💡🤷🏻♂️
Today is ST MARK’S BASILICA’s birthday 🥳 🟣⚪️

Ella Dent sadly passed away this morning following a fall and subsequent hip surgery.
She was my Aunty and referred to her as my “other mother” as I lived with her and her husband from the age of 11 until I was 17.
I loved her dearly and I will miss her. May she rest in peace😔

When we relocated to Newmarket 17 years ago he welcomed my family with open arms and was a true friend to us…he was always my hero and he was an absolute legend😞

I am really pleased that my father was able to return to his home in Abu Dhabi yesterday following approximately 7 weeks in hospital. Whilst he will require further surgery once considered strong enough this is a massive step in the right direction💪🏻

From my perspective Twitter has demonstrated what a nice place it can be today. I am truly overwhelmed by the number of messages of condolence and the support I have received on here since my Tweet this morning about Mum👇🏻
I would like to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone🙏🏻
My aunty Valerie Harker (from Leyburn, North Yorkshire) sadly passed away this morning following a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer three weeks ago.
I’ll miss her and may she rest in peace😢
I apologise for retweeting my own tweet from 14th July 2016, but my sentiments remain exactly the same as they did then.
IMO this man is a blithering idiot and not capable of running a bath, let alone a country🤡
Thinking of our late, great friend John Hills as today marks the 4th anniversary of his passing.
John also trained Wind In Her Hair (the dam of Deep Impact) who finished 2nd to Balanchine in the 1994 Epsom Oaks.

She said, "I have whiskeys and wines of the best
And the words that I told you were only in jest"

I am deeply saddened to hear the passing of Pat Smullen.
He was a brilliant jockey and an absolutely wonderful person who I was extremely fortunate to have known.
May he rest in peace and sincerest condolences to Frances, Hannah, Paddy & Sarah.
