Thank you for all the messages this week. Having two winners at Cheltenham was a huge thrill, but to be honest, the week felt like a disaster after losing Sir Erec. It was a big team effort at home and abroad all week and I am very grateful for everyone’s hard work.

Wow! I know it probably sounds like autopilot at this stage, but I can’t thank all of the team enough. As well as everyone at home, we have people in America, Australia, France and Italy with runners right now. It’s takes so much work from everyone to make these days happen.

Ever wanted to name a racehorse? Now's your chance! This well-bred filly by Presenting (pedigree below) needs a name and we will name her after the best suggestion made on here that is available. It can't be longer than 18 characters and must be clean! RT and spread the word.
