My favourite video of the Cheltenham festival. One of the nicest people you’ll meet in the ring having a touch, well done John ! 😁
Best Moment
My team were brilliant all week and my right hand man Johnny Hill landed a proper touch on Meetmebythesea.
We’d had a word after Newbury that he was likely to show an improved performance. Despite not having a penny on myself I couldn’t be happier for him especially after he had some poor health last year

Here's a find - a TV documentary from 1984 following Angus Hill at Worcester races, featuring some much loved characters no longer with us. Dodger, Cecil, how many can you spot. This was sent to me, I've not changed it just added a thumbnail. youtu.be/yXiN4mraPHw
So refreshing to see a horse touring the world, taking on the best regularly. Helped by the fact he’s gelded and races aren’t planned with only stallion career in mind
Next up: The Japan Cup! 🇯🇵
@GraffardRacing has confirmed that Calandagan is Tokyo-bound, per the Nick Luck Daily Podcast...
You can catch the Japan Cup Live for the first time on @SkySportsRacing! 🤩

I attended a lot of p2p every season, refuse to believe her bumper crows & record attendances. Hunt certs are in a consistent decline each season now the big emphasis for this season is selling maidens when there is very little demand. Happy to be proven wrong with the data
Show some love for Point-to-Pointing 🥰
Tiggy Vale-Titterton from @THEPPORA is in the studio to discuss some new initiatives on the pointing scene.

A great advert for p2p re betting ring. No exchanges, just a real market made from the people betting, live and exciting

Horse racing is funded by betting so any change in the taxation of it, has a direct impact on the sport. But why is horse racing funded by betting? - betangel.com/why-horse-racin…

THIS IS NOT A REPOST
Ronnie O’Sullivan’s SECOND 147 of the night vs Chris Wakelin 🤯
He waited seven years for his 16th max…
He waited TWO HOURS for his 17th!!!

Top story in the trade paper.
Meanwhile Jennie Candlish continues her fine season with an across the card treble and barely gets a mention. This is getting desperate @ThomasKerrRP
Smaller yards have never had it tougher the trade paper should be championing them.
Very good prize money, why are there no big yards putting there best horses in?
Obviously a talented horse and the form stacks up well in France. Would be a shame to see Mullins held him so early on.
👀 @GeeGeeBanker full of praise for a certain WILLY DE HOUELLE:
"If the Triumph Hurdle was tomorrow, I'd make him an even money favourite.
"Until something improves past him, he's the best three-year-old purchase this summer by some distance."
Justify this then @chamberlinsport - £25 for a single ticket for a Wednesday evening of racing @WorcesterRaces
"A family 4 can get in for £30... imagine what it would cost to take a family of 4 to a Premier League match" 🗣️
@chamberlinsport is on the hunt to prove you can enjoy racing on a budget 💵

And Barry Hearn things the betting tax will fix it all… 🙄
Awful news regarding K. Kirkby at Charing this weekend, really puts racing and life into perspective. Thoughts are with his family and friends at what is such a horrible time.
