So happy for Mick @MickApplebyUK . 11 years ago we bought our first horse with him, Miako, for 6000gns & he was one of the most expensive horses in the yard. Amazing to make it at the top level from the very bottom. Great bloke and the very best of trainers. Well done, Mick. 🀝

It's so easy to make Nicky Henderson a scapegoat for a huge industry problem in UK NH racing. Agree or not with his decision re Constitution Hill the whole NH programme isn't fit for purpose in the modern day. Fewer fixtures & fewer conditions races will give us so much more.

Note to punters to not get lulled into crap ante post markets in the Cheltenham preview mayhem. Look at SP's of M Nationale, Impaire Et P, The Real Whacker, Impervious. All eg's w/out mentioning those that didn't win & went off vastly bigger prices than taken by many a week ago

This has been v well thought out imo. The bottom would have dropped out the sport but for such intervention. Our low-grade horses race for too little in the 1st place though, & to keep owners at the lower end I think some should be skimmed off the top to go to grassroots anyway

YES!!! Speed Merchant kicks off slipstream racing's @awchamps season with a win. Slick performance from the front & there should be more to come. 3 horses, 1 all-in price. Retweet if you'd be interested in getting involved in a future Slipstream Racing syndicate 😁 🍾🍾

Pleasure to have Ryan Moore ride Big Country @Sandownpark this afternoon. No less than expected- but first class pre race, during race & post race as far as owners experience & feedback goes. Good run in 3rd by the big fella.

Wednesday work morning again @MickApplebyUK . Today's clip is the 3yo Bulldozer (rail) who's still green & is shaken up to educate him. Mick's gallop is about 7f, Bulldozer probably wants further & may benefit from headgear on the track.

We've just sold this fella, Hakam, @GoffsUK for 30k. Bought August 2016, 5 wins for us, including a memorable G3 in Norway. Thank you Hakam, and thank you all @MickApplebyUK . Good luck to new connections.
