City of Troy in the paddock ahead of his racecourse gallop. I somewhat doubt Southwell’s parade ring has ever been so busy. Three rows deep in places!

People cram around the parade ring at Southwell Racecourse to get a glimpse of the world’s best racehorse - City Of Troy!

The world’s greatest trainer greet’s City Of Troy’s co-owner, Paul Smith, in the parade ring.

City Of Troy and his friends parade in front of the grandstand before the gallop. So well thought out! Southwell Racecourse

The world’s best horse… The world’s best trainer… And the world’s best jockey, Ryan Moore, in the saddle!

Galloping to the line in splendid isolation to the applause of the crowd. Probably the last time we’ll ever see City Of Troy in public in Europe. Next stop - California!

The Ballydoyle quintet return to the world’s media.

What a thrill to see City Of Troy today! So many people came out, not attracted by gimmicks, music, betting etc - but for the love of the horse and the chance to see equine perfection in the flesh. Thanks to Ballydoyle and Southwell Racecourse for making it happen!

Happy retirement to one of my favourite horses - Not So Sleepy! 11 years of entertainment! What a way to bow out!!!

Wishing Franny Norton the happiest of retirements! Rode two winners for the Johnston Racing partnership I was involved in.

My cat has created a work of art. So proud!

I had the most enjoyable day shadowing Simon Holt at Brighton y’day ahead of Royal Ascot next week. It was so kind of him to let me see the work that goes in to the art of calling races - I’m very grateful. I’m tempted to learn colours for a race tomorrow and give it a go!

My favourite part of Wimbledon is when the Umpire is wheeled away like a piece of furniture. #Wimbledon
