This video goes a long way to show how much Corach Rambler meant to all racing fans. Resounding appreciation from the Prestbury Park faithful after a valiant third in the 2024 Cheltenham Gold Cup. An extremely talented horse. Happy retirement, Corach 🟣🟡 #HorseRacing

🚨 Update on DYSART ENOS from Fergal O'Brien: "The plan is to run on Sunday with her, just a straight novice hurdle at Doncaster and she doesn't have many penalties which is good. "She is exciting. Obviously, like any of these unbeaten horses, there is always a bit of pressure.

No mercy from Willie Mullins today in his search for a first British trainers’ championship. Rocks up to Ayr, gets Sharjah to win over three miles, and then has the 1st, 4th, 5th & 6th home in the Scottish Grand National. Perfectly executed raid 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Racecourses get a fair few knocks, but Cheltenham seems to be doing something right when it comes to New Year’s Day. It isn’t always for some, but it was a genuinely packed crowd with plenty varying age ranges in attendance. Fairly staggering atmosphere, especially for Bob.
