Delighted to win with this fellow on his debut. @AOryan and myself fell in love with him @Goffs1866 when we first saw him. Could be a very smart 3-year-old. Big thanks to @RichardFahey and his team 👌🏻

No doubt Tiger Roll is a freak and a complete legend. So is his trainer Gordon Elliott. Started with zero 11 years ago, 50 Grade 1’s later as he has just turned 40 and as grounded as the day he was born. #genius 👌🏻🐎

You don’t fluke a Jockeys Championship, never mind over jumps. Brian Hughes is a proper champion, talented and dedicated beyond belief. He, and his family, should be immensely proud. 🏆

Hard to explain how happy I am for Joe Fanning winning the Ascot Gold Cup today. Unbelievable riding talent and work ethic second to none, he also happens to be, genuinely, one of the nicest human beings ever to walk this planet. Universally liked, it’s an honour to be his agent.
