Alqamar missed the cut by 1 for the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival on Friday, I do question how good it is for horse racing when super sized yards dominate by having multiple runners in single races, it is what it is I suppose. I feel for Alqamar’s owners and my staff.
Highland Lodge - so sadly passed yesterday and took a little piece of us with him, a maelstrom of emotion when winning the Becher Chase for owners Simon, Patric, Rhyan & Juile Wilson, he will never be forgotten. R.I.P “podge” ❤️
⭐️Union Avenue⭐️ a staying on 9th (2nd of British based horses) in the Cheltenham Festival 2m Champion bumper today, reads well for the future as a 3m chaser, proving his ability at the top level over an inadequate test. Roll on next season.
🏇🏾Without teamwork, individual talent means very little on any racing yard, Burbank 33/1 win today at
@PerthRacecourse
personified this to a tee.
Giving us our 200th career winner means the world - what a team! - on to the next 200 🥇🏇🏾
Delighted with Union Avenue’s run in the listed bumper at Newbury this afternoon, significantly drying ground gets us beat today. Potentially a real star for the north next season. ⭐️
The Steward retires today safe and sound, he’ll want for nothing at his new home under the care of our great friend Polly. A Cartmel Cup winner, however he’ll best be remembered for his win below, attracting 7.9m views on YouTube. The Steward is the man ❤️
🏇🏾A huge thank you to all my staff and owners at the close of the 21/22 season, our best to date, 18 winners with a 20% strike rate - stable jockey
@charlottejones_
delivering 16 of those wins at an amazing 22% - Looking forward the new season with a great team spirit in place.🏇🏾
Delighted to get a winner after a quiet spell with Bingoo and relatively pleased with how all 3 ran today 🥇 Really well done to our team and hugely supportive owners 🌟
Rapid Flight is Darren Mills first winner as a owner and the 50th at the track since I gained a license as a trainer. 😊😍 love for Cartmel. We’ll done team 🤩
🎅Fantastic double
@AintreeRaces
Bingoo delivering the big handicap for Kevin & Anne Glastonbury and Neil Bibby - Union Avenue showed class and steel to win the bumper for Tom Gardner. Top team effort 🎄🏇🏾
🗣️"It's a feeling like no other."
It's 14 years since Chief Dan George gave
@JamesMoff1
his first taste of Cheltenham Festival success and the trainer is determined to get back on the biggest stage of all with his improving team of horses.

Great result for Keith Bowron & the vilprano partnership, having shown great patience over the past 12months to get Yukon right in himself. Excellent team effort all round. 🥇🏇🏾

lovely performance from an improving horse. Super team effort from all the team over a busy Christmas week. 🏇🏾🎅🎄
ARC has effectively climbed down over there own prize money hatchet job, but not before taking back 55k for losses on the three targeted races.
55k for three races ! - tells you just what ARC’s margins are with races worth as little as £1800 to the winner.
A promising 2nd & 3rd in the maiden hurdle but 🏇🏾Rapid Flight 🏆🏇🏾stole the show under

Boy De La Vis scores on debut for Exors of V Vyner-Brooks/Sports Has Beens. Special thanks to Stan Jones. A poignant victory as Boys was the last horse purchased by the late Varlien Vyner-Brooks, I know he will be looking down in heaven, thank you boss… 🌟🏇🏾🎄
On the last day of Cartmel races 2021, I’m thrilled for our owners and my amazing team to have had 12 winners at our local track and 14 for the season to date.
🏇🏾Luna Discovery wins again
@HexhamRaces
for Kevin & Anne Glastonbury ⭐️- whose record now at Hexham is 7 runners 7 winners ⭐️ - amazing owner breeders who deserve every success.
Great team effort all round. 🏇🏾
🏇🏾The 22/23 draws to a close I would like the thank my owners for their huge support in providing us our best season to date- 24 winners- 53% of horses winning- 192k prize money for owners- 5th Cartmel title-
@charlottejones
riding so well- all achieved with my amazing team 🏇🏾🏆
🏇🏾An amazing summer at
@Cartmelrace
has held its last fixtures over the weekend. 🏇🏾we are so proud of our teams effort in yielding 4 winners over the two days, our hugely supportive owners and clinching a 6 trainers title on the final day. 🏇🏾🏆
The new ruling over apprentices & conditionals receiving a riding fee more in line with professional jockeys stacks up with me - they take the same risks in a race - good young riders will get chances in the right yard through ability, availability and their 7lb claim.
Jelski forges ahead to win the William Hill Epic Value Handicap Chase at 5-1 in the hands of Charlotte Jones for trainer James Moffatt

The ground is not a subtlety, it’s a key factor. Running on watered ground with a horse that wants cut can very othen spell disaster.
You that sit, watch and write about racing, absolutely do not understand horses tendons or the balance in keeping them sound.
Onefineman’s win at
@CarlisleRaces
yesterday was our 19th of the season and best to date. obviously OFM has given everything yesterday and will take time to recover .. 😎
🏇🏾Onefineman takes the feature chase at Carlisle, Huge team effort all round for this lovely horse - good runs from Yukon, Vocal Duke & Judicial Review. 🏇🏾
🏇🏾Jelski wins for the third time at
@Cartmelrace
yesterday. Delighted for all concerned 🏇🏾- 🕺🏻brilliant ABBA music after racing to top the day off 🕺🏻
Tarn Hows, Lake District. With no racing for us today, It’s always nice to take advantage of what’s on our doorstep, especially with so few tourists at this time of year.
Simon Wilson’s homebred Lady Bowes takes the bumper comfortably
@PerthRacecourse
tonight, although very green while having to make her own running. Well done team
Our Sam, a home bred local takes the 3m handicap hurdle after a protracted battle with new girl Shantou Sunset. Well done Barry, Paul & Super Shanahan(5)

and owners Geordie and Taffy 👏
We are genuinely thrilled for Stan & Kate Jones, with The Racing in Furness syndicate. They look to have a lovely 4 year old prospect for the future. Very well done team🥇🏇🏾🌟🎄
Bingoo finishes 3rd on his debut, a lovely introduction for a green and nervous horse who has behaved impeccably on his first day at school. Well done his owners Kevin, Anne & Neil, lots to look forward to in the future.
A start we all want in the new year, The Steward gives us our 16th winner of the season. Well done to Owners Jim Bracken and Keith Hadwin on his 60th birthday treat.
Bet 365 has a turnover of 3 billion per year, the joint CEO is on a salary of 320 million - while watching things happen. Owners, trainers, stable staff & jockeys provide the show from the ground up. Prize money needs to reflect the input of those that make things happen.
We’re all chuffed to bits. Lunar Discovery coming a very respectable second in a competitive field for
@kglastonbury
and his lovely wife Anne. Congratulations everyone.
@TrendHorses
Thanks Andrew. we all make mistakes, that’s life, what should not happen is the disgusting, vile abuse after winners and equally losers - via phone calls, email, social media etc.
Today would have been the last day of the Jumps seasons
@Sandownpark
. I would like to congratulate Brian Hughes on being champion jockey. All his family would have been there to see him and enjoy his victory. Well done Brian 👏
