Panto, 21, and Brief Goodbye, 24. They’re hanging on to their winter coats longer than their friends in training. This is how they spend their days now, out together in the back paddock by day, in at night. Love these two old boys.

A master of his craft, is John Hunt, but most importantly he’s a top man to go with it

We were told he could have run in a hood so the public couldn’t see it. But he doesn’t race in a hood, so he wasn’t declared with a hood, so he couldn’t run.

That’s some catch, that catch-22.

Bred by the late Queen, one-time Derby entry Circle Of Fire was previously trained by Sir Michael Stoute and is the second G1 winner for Haras d'Etreham’s Almanzor. Emotional victory in Australia for Andrea Atzeni.

For Stefano Cherchi 💕

Andrea Atzeni

It’s not just my assumption, she’s really up the Junction.

Cambridge folk: rush to see Annie Dressner on 27 April. She’s ace.

Victoria Head has made a good start to the year and has some nice prospects in her stable. It was great chatting to her ⁦ParisLongchamp⁩ last Sunday and I’m sure we’ll be hearing plenty more from her in the future. thoroughbreddailynews.com/spotlight-on-v…

The Cherchi family would like to extend a thank you to all who have supported them during this difficult time 🙏🏼❤️

Antony Gormley, sculptor of the Angel of the North, reflects on Brexit:

Enjoyed a chat with trainer Stephane Wattel in Deauville. Tulipa Chope was highly impressive in last year's Prix des Reservoirs on her home track and is set to return on Sunday with the Classics in mind.

🗣️ Hubie de Burgh: 'We're here in the middle of a hurricane & not one of those horses looked like they were going to buck their rider off. It's pure professionalism.'

Incredibly moving day visiting some of the Normandy sites woven into the history of D-Day. Eighty years this June since that pivotal moment in WW2. We owe so much to those brave young soldiers for life as we know it now.

Would be hard to find two more dedicated, passionate, encouraging and decent folk in the bloodstock industry than Meta and Dermot. Absolute bricks.

Quite a view from the top paddock at the historic ⁦Haras de Meautry⁩: Deauville racecourse in the mid-distance, the Royal Barriere and the sea beyond.

Farm life, Normandy.
