post race interview by our champion jockey Brian Hughes.
Pure class in every way and a credit to our sport 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Said goodbye last night to our wonderful dog Peadar who blessed our lives for 11 years and will now be causing havoc chasing rabbits rather than stars up there somewhere. Sleep well my friend 🙏🏽
Found out yesterday that my old mate Morning Reggie sadly broke his leg out in the field. He’d really enjoyed his retirement and boy did he and I have some fun on Thursday schooling mornings!
RIP pal, you taught me more about the scope of an equine athlete than any human could
Very proud to see Dad back on the front line! This time aged 82 marching the Cenotaph with all retired Hercules pilots. Their beloved Herc was decommissioned this year after 57 years of service

A monumental week in Isla Apiafi’s rugby journey, playing a county match for Berkshire U16 she scored FOUR tries against Middlesex in a 33-7 victory. Followed up in the week by being offered a place at Hartpury College (on top of the one she has received from Exeter), being told
Thanks you for all the inspiring and heartfelt messages, means a lot to me and team Apiafi. Bruised, battered and thankful.
