The beautiful moment a woman is shocked at the proposal, while Mr Tayto looks on, omnipotent as ever.
Love was well and truly in the air in Dublin Airport last night as this Ryanair air hostess was surprised in T1 arrivals by her boyfriend… (much to the excitement of the others waiting!) 💍
Congratulations to the very happy couple. 💕

I remember watching this at the Quevega bar at Cheltenham.
Hard to hear the commentary, and as they came to the last, a lad behind me goes “C’mon Buveur!”
Didn’t have the heart to tell him.
💚 Espoir D'Allen 💛
He lost just one of his ten races and turned the 2019 Champion Hurdle, aged 5, into a procession. It was his final race.
Sadly, 5 months later, he got spooked, reared over and was fatally injured.

Soon, I release a podcast series. Just a heads up that:
1) While yes, I am a bit mortified, mercifully, it has fairly little input from me. Instead I'm interviewing actually interesting people
2) It's about horse racing, but a bit different to the current offering out there 🤞

He is a champion I reckon. He’s got the run though in the centre. He’s out after the leader. He picks up Stacelita. He powers clear. Sea The Stars, racing away. Perfection in equine form. A horse of a lifetime. He’s just gonna go on and win the Arc by two lengths.
What is your favourite piece of horseracing commentary? 🗣
We’ll start…
“Denman and Sam Thomas, driven out, relentless, remorseless, has pounded Kauto Star into submission. The answer is DENMAN!"

Some very kind replies to the below tweet have encouraged me to get my arse in gear and make Season 3 of Horse Racing Heroes.
If anyone’s interested in sponsoring the series, my DMs are open for chat.
I very much welcome episode suggestions in replies too 🫡
Does anyone know of any horse racing podcasts that aren’t betting focused - just talking about horses, stories etc? Probably a bit niche and I know I’m in the minority, but I love listening to people just talk about horses.
Looking for some entertainment during the commute! 😆

Have seen a surprising number of 'racing twitter' members displaying anger at the social media boycott.
