We have lost Alastair Down..the greatest racing journalist, and broadcaster, of all time...Lucky to have met my hero and proud he became my friend (even if he constantly took the piss out of me) Wherever he is now they are about to get a lesson in the art of writing #alastairdown

Even @BethRigby is totally dumbfounded “I’ve never seen anything like it” at the £74 billion on spending and £41 billion in tax rises. As she said, none of this is laid out in their manifesto. Labour have lied to you, the left can never be trusted.

This is painful to watch. Robotic Rachel Reeves is rightly called out for lying to the public before the election, breaking manifesto promises, and her fictional '£22bn black hole'. She's rattled and completely out of her depth. This is an absolute car crash.

Delighted to have bred today’s @HerefordRaces winner My Bobby’s Lass! The daughter of @YortonFarm sire Pether’s Moon cost just £10k @GoffsUK and is out of our wonderful broodmare Chocca Wocca, making her a 1/2 sibling to Choccabloc, who we have in training with @sevenbarrows!

Another winner for @OverburySires sire FRONTIERSMAN really don't get why people aren't using him as much his pedigree is 1 of the best you can get and he's £2000 more owner breeders should seriously look at him
Great to see @KnightHen back among the winners! 🙌 It's her first winner since 2015 as Cotswold Cottage strikes at @WindsorRaces for @NicolaCurrie22...

The gavel drops at $5 million! Mandy Pope strikes for the Curlin colt out of Cavorting and a full brother to Clairiere, consigned by Indian Creek, agent for Stonestreet. He is the most expensive colt purchased since 2006 at Keeneland and the top yearling price in North America

Another phenomenal week at Sefton Lodge saw us score with our first two year old runner of the season ‘Sex On Fire’ at Southwell on Tuesday evening. Having fluffed the start he ended up shuffled back...

👏 Superb to see two stalwarts of the National Hunt game - SAM BROWN and TWO FOR GOLD - battle it out in the Veterans Chase at Ascot there. 👍 Jumps racing is the winner. https://t.co/N5QKZwH5zE

Finally! Someone writes about the benefit to the overall game from the mare’s program and mare’s races at @CheltenhamRaces Well done Bill Barber 👏👏👏 and Thank God I didn’t see the Graeme Rodway “worst race” comment last week. Just idiotic…. Sorry 🤷🏻♂️
🗣 "The hurdling division could well have been even weaker than it has been without the mares' programme that has been created in recent years" The Cheltenham's Mares' Hurdle is not the problem - it's actually helping to paper over the cracks Read with Members' Club Ultimate 👇

I’m not sure if the Sumbe stallions have ever seen snow in their lives, but they certainly haven't seen this much!
