This is the reason I withdrew Politologue today. It could have been just a small bang on the nose to cause it but obviously we could not take any chances with him.

Life is so hard sometimes , winners totally insignificant compared to what has happened today . Sadly Keagan Kirby one of our best , hardworking lads lost his life today riding in a point to point . All at team ditcheat are mortified . Thoughts with all his friends and family.

That one was for you Keagan. He rode Fire Flyer everyday and loved him. So seeing him win @TauntonRacing means a huge amount to the whole yard. Well done to his owner Michael Geoghegan. He has very kindly donated his winning prize money to Keagans family. Thank you Michael. #87

He was passionate about his job and his riding and rode Afadil every day. Last thing he said to me on friday was “boss Afadil will win tomorrow “. How right he was . RIP Keag we will all miss you terribly 😢😢😢😢😢.

Yesterday we tragically lost a very special member of team Ditcheat when Rose Loxton was finally beaten by cancer. She leaves behind a loving family and a yard full of people who thought the world of her. This was a very special evening we enjoyed with her. May you rest in peace.
It was a fantastic night at #TheMcCoys on Friday ✨. A special mention goes to Rose Loxton, of @PFNicholls yard, who was Highly Commended in the Stable Person of the Year category, kindly sponsored by @RacingPost . 🏆. Take a look at her story. #MondayMotivation

What a remarkable horse you are Frodon. Incredible performance to take the Irish on in their back garden and win. Another fabulous ride from B. Very well done to Michelle who took him over there, Holley who rides him and his owner Mr Vogt. A horse in a million.

What a man . David deserved that , he puts a lot into the game , has to work hard at it , takes plenty of stick and keeps bouncing back from injury and quite rightly that will mean so much to him . Very proud of him. 👏👏🏆🍾.
