Looks like the Flat season could start with a bang. Certainly hope so!

The champion trainer as eloquent as ever on lockdown, Stradivarius, Enable and news of how St Leger winner Logician came through a life-threatening illness over the winter

Hope he can do it!

Really pleased for Jim Crowley - and Marcus Tregoning - that's as good a miler as we've seen for a while, I think - sensational turn of foot

Interesting words from Mick Fitzgerald, who knows better than most how to assess the riding skills of Bryony Frost ...

This a great cause. The first target has been hit but really hope they make it to £1m to buy the stables outright

Enjoyed doing this with Emmet and Rory - just hope Cheltenham is on!

Superb column by Rob Wright on the Frost/Dunne case. thetimes.co.uk/article/bryony…

Wow! Ascot had the race of the 20th century on the Flat with Grundy and Bustino. We've just seen something similar over jumps with Shishkin and Energumene. Just a great horse race

Great scoop from Matt Lawton

Big well done to Daily Star tipster Jason Heavey for winning the Racing Post's Press Challenge. Hate to finish second but couldn't lay a glove on him - congrats on a great year, Jason - not a competition you can win by luck as it covers every race of the year!

Have tried to offer practical solutions to some of the problems that the Festival has - delighted to discuss any ideas/comments on our website

How on earth have the stewards declared Maasai Mara as a runner at Sandown? Appalling decision BHA Stewards. Facing the wrong way with someone holding its head! Would love to hear the reasoning

Rob Wright BHA Stewards Listening to the head steward on ITV - apparently the new rules don’t cover jumping and because he wasn’t declared a NR before he can’t be declared after. It’s just an embarrassment for the sport. Alienating new fans. Never crossed the start. Ridiculous.

Just a great feel-good story

An early look through the field for Saturday’s Grand National. Good luck!

✍️ Ignorant government plans to tax bookies more could destroy racing Rob Wright says if Whitehall wants more cash it should target online casinos rather than jeopardising a revered British industry and the 85,000 jobs it supports ⬇️ thetimes.com/sport/horse-ra…
