    Barizan never made it to his new forever home. Foot/leg trouble meant he had to be pts. It’s been that sort of year....

    Don Poli retired.

    Not sure why, but he’s one of my favourite ever horses. Probably the fact he was just bone idol like me.

    Incredible he went off 50/1 with all those out there saying they were on. Shroods as Slim would say...

    RIP - was some performance.

    Just read that they’ve decided to retire Speredek. Glad I hadn’t realised he’d had a nasty fall yesterday as he’s a favourite of mine.

    Labaik. The greatest touch I ever landed. Colic in the end. Lord bless him
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Why was there so much misinformation about Labaik? First it was a leg infection now they say it was colic months ago.

    The truly great race mare Goldikova has died aged 16. She won THREE Breeders Cup Miles amongst her glittering career (14 G1 including the Queen Anne and Prix Jacques le Marios) I was there for the second of her BC wins and it was an utter privilege to witness.

    Albert Roux, the onetime chef at Peter Cazalet's Fairlawn Stables (and country house), has died. He became a supporter of NH Racing after becoming successful with his famous restaurant, Le Gavroche.

    Not before time. Good to see him get out before he did himself a mischief.

    Loved that horse. His RSA is one of the best races I’ve ever watched. Hammered him for the Gold Cup year after, wasn’t to be. Then that was that for him, completely lost interest in racing.

    That GC was brutal and the horse never recovered for all that he won at Aintree after

    Glad he bows out in one piece

    Ruby Walsh still raves about his RSA performance.

    Quality mare.
    All comers, all grounds, all beaten!

    The most remarkable race I've ever had the pleasure of seeing in the flesh.
