They are and should always be the focal point of our sport nationalracehorseweek.uk

Next Sat- 50 yrs to the day since “race of the century”, Grundy shading Bustino in an epic “King George”, track record smashed by 2.36 secs. Memorable one for Grundy’s owner- earlier, his daughter Franca Vittadini had won Lady Riders’ race, beating Joe Mercer’s niece, Carolyn!

Mr Jim McGrath That was right at the start of my interest in racing. Grundy was the first Derby I remember properly, although my dad always liked a bet. In the 50 years since it’s still hard to think of a better race.

Great picture.👏

Less than 48 hours after “retiring” from one role, guess who has just “big fellad” into Ascot, larger than life, as giddy as a teenager!

Found some of the reaction to yesterdays’s soaking at Goodwood amusing. Deluge not unusual at GG. Look up seasons 2009 (course hit by mini twister!) and 2017, IMO prob worse! Bravo Miss Cumani, seemingly attired in silk dressing gown/slippers, she still did her paddock walks!👏

2016-17 opening day vibes from today’s performance. - Avenging a dismal performance against the same opposition on the final day of the season before - Two new signings on the scoresheet - A feel good atmosphere around the stadium The start of something special… 🤞 #htafc ~

Sound start to the new season. A deserved win, decidedly more positives than negatives and, in contrast to the end of the last campaign, total commitment from everyone throughout. Onwards and upwards. 🤞Thanks to chairman Kevin Nagle for the squad reset and well done Lee Grant.

😅

We won the first 2 games last season but this feels a lot different - A new spirit, people caring, and a lot of energy around the place - on and off the pitch. Long may it continue! #UTT #htafc

Morning everyone I hope you are well. Final ascent to King's Howe with splendid views across Derwentwater to a cloudy Skiddaw. Have a great day. #LakeDistrict

From Racehorse to London Explorer ‼️ Have you ever wondered what life can be like for a former racehorse? Since National Racehorse week is on the horizon, I thought it would be interesting to share a snippet of my former racehorses day to day life 👇🏻 Violet retired from

Would be a fine tribute

At The Races Tom Marquand Hollie Doyle Matt Chapman What a delightful and gracious young lady. Classy and humble. Well done Hollie.

Monday nights at Windsor Racecourse 😃

Great to see Minnie Hauk again. She’s a smasher who looks to have everything, physique, temperament and a great action. Notwithstanding her chance on form, IMO she was really impressive (wouldn’t have blown a candle out in U/E). Fascinating to see how she fares in the Arc.

Bottomless stamina and as tough as Ned Kelly, in effect a real old-fashioned type stayer. Well done Trawlerman.

If you can't beat them, bite them 😬 Throwback to this dramatic finish in the 2021 Forego Stakes! Watch tonight's renewal live on Sky Sports Racing at 10.36pm...

Latest evidence, that you don’t need to be a total (fill in the gap with your word), to be a winner, and a success. You can be a thoroughly decent person and be a winner too. What a beautiful picture
