Dear Twitter, please search up ‘Ruby Walsh’ and immediately ban anyone who has used the word ‘crook’ or claims he intentionally falls off horses for financial gain in tweets from yesterday. They shouldn’t be allowed to share a platform with sane people. Absolute cockknockers.
If anyone has a elderly relative or friend in the Greystones/Delgany area (Co.Wicklow) that need help, I’ll happily do shopping for them, bring to any medical appointments, walk dogs etc Just DM me details.
My poor little pal was savaged while we were out walking this morning 😢The guys who’s dog attacked him just sauntered off after putting him back in his lead. Garda couldn’t do a thing. Feel so angry.
Great story behind the big race winner in Galway, Magic Chegaga. Trainer, Brian Duffy, has 2 horses in. Bought for 12k out of Dermot Welds. Horse box broke down outside a church on the way to the track, so they said a few prayers inside 🤣🤣Deadly!!
Rachael Blackmore’s winning interview after riding her first pony race winner. She beat Paul Townend a nose! Another titanic battle between them both this week. Best of luck to them both
An emotional Dr Jennifer Pugh on her way to accepting a special recognition award for her part in keeping Irish Racing going over the last 18 months. Well deserved.
Delighted to report that the wee man has been given a clean bill of health by the vet and is back bouncing on his first walk since the attack (Interacted well with other dogs thankfully) Sincere thanks for all the best wishes and enquiries about his wellbeing

Ruby is officially retired ‘you’ll never see me on a horse again, I’m finished’ I’ll never see the likes of him again and grown men crying here

So after celebrations last night, 4 hours sleep, an hours walk at 5am I’ve decided to take a partial cash out offer of 300 Envoi / 250 the field. With other bets my position on the race is £322,000 Envoi or £250,000 the field. Thanks to

I’m on the same flight as last year so hope they’re on a different one or we’ll be delayed again while he collects the trophy. I’d gladly wait mind as I’ve witnessed history today. So privileged

1986,I was 14. My dad gave me the day off school to go Racing and see the match between Dawn Run and Buck House (Seamus Purcell was some owner) in Punchestown. I’ll bring both my boys to see Constitution Hill and Honeysuckle if they meet. That’s history.That makes this great game
Interestingly, I’ve never had any interest in F1. During lockdown a mate suggested a Netflix show ‘Drive To Survive’. I now find myself watching a British GP practice secession, on a Friday night, on Sky. The power of an exciting game well told has totally engaged me in the sport
My takeaways from the
@PFNicholls
open day yesterday - Captain Teague, a big money purchase who they think the world of. Irish Hill, off 116 is well handicapped. Seeyouinmydreams a Telescope P2P winning filly that is showing plenty & Sonigino off 119 should do some damage.
Never been at a race meeting where the oxygen was sucked out of the crowd as Leopardstown today when Faugheen pulled up. Everyone wanted to see him win handsomely but finish up deflated and feeling for horse & connection. Hope he’s ok
Great photo of Davy Russell’s son, Liam, who was born between Cheltenham & Aintree.....sleeping between the Cheltenham Gold Cup & the Grand National trophy!

Hey Lydia, you'll be glad to hear that with the abandonment and, subsequent rescheduling, we have had the opportunity to rename the "Betfair Cheltenham Free Bet Pot Builder Chase'' It's now Called 'The Betfair Game Spirit'' 😜
At this rate each course will soon have their own ‘firm’ and the hooligans will be traveling to tracks looking take each other on & prove who’s the hardest. Can see it now.....The Ascot Asbos v Haydock Hellraisers etc etc....
Wordsmiths have written so beautifully about Pat Smullen in recent days but a true friend capture the essence of the man and his fight here. Ruby Walsh: ‘Pat Smullen got every yard of the trip he was given, only that trip wasn’t long enough’

Whatever chance you'd have on footie you've none on the horses. I'm so confident, I'll donate £500 to charity if you beat me. Let's dance Bad Man!
Nice to see

Great to see the doyen of the Magnier family, Eve Stockwell, here in the Curragh to celebrate the victory of her horse Fairyland. The winner is now 12/1 from 20/1 for the Prix L’Abbaye
Very impressive both inside and out. Congratulations to anyone involved in the redevelopment of the

I’d be proud to bring someone to it for a days racing. Not something I could say about the old place.
The best horse in training, Stradivarius, makes it two Gold Cups and 4/ 4 for Frankie on the day at
#RoyalAscot
Stinker for the bookies but more importantly great for racing and, bonus aside, hope he rides the last two winners!
Here’s another for the beaut list. Referring to Footpad ‘I hope it is injured and never races again’ What sort of people are these. Definitely not racing fans.
Two men arrested for the murder of Bookmaker Dessie Fox. Massive on-course layer who was traveling to the Curragh when shot dead and robbed. 28 years ago but some peace for his family.
From today’s card in York. Decent pals to have and Racing bringing them back together here. Hope the punting Gods are smiling down the they back the winner 🤞
