Was dreading doing this live this morning but hopefully did Pat and his family justice. Not that much could be added to all the wonderful tributes already made by people both in and outside of racing. Pat was one of a kind and will never be replaced or forgotten

I love Cheltenham,I really love Cheltenham,I really do love Cheltenham...but I despise packing for 4 days of Festival plus Sandown beforehand,Uttoxeter after,2 days of leading out for Willie Mullins and a christening to top it all off.Brain is officially fried ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Ever since my super mare Sorry Woman gave birth to a beautiful colt by Profitable @NewtownStud last night, this is my new favourite form of entertainment. God bless technology!

No offence to Helen or many other people tweeting on this subject but I find it so frustrating that @ThoroughbrdTale has existed for over year yet so few racing media/journalists have supported and promoted it to wider audience when there is so clearly an appetite for our message

Always thought need to do a DETAILED account of how a racehorse is looked after ... a proper real time 24 hr dedicated show from the morning they go on the gallops to the night time feed ... easily done just need to show how much horses are loved โค๏ธ๐ŸŽ @itvracing @mickfitzg

Not all trainers will be able to do this obviously for their own financial reasons but big effort from Mick Easterby for his owners at a difficult time

8 years ago Pat Smullen lifted this trophy after winning the @ayrracecourse Gold Cup on Captain Ramius, bought by my late father as a foal for long time family friend Clodagh McStay. It seems fitting to be here this week of all weekโ€™s for @itvracing @OaklawnStud @mcstayagent

Great to come home from Haydock last night for a first cuddle of many with my new foal,a full brother to "The Prince" by Starspangledbanner. He will have a long way to go to replace his older brother but be warned there will be a lot of photos of him over next few months!

So sad to hear the lovely Bleu Et Rouge had to be put down after his fall @NewcastleRaces ,he was such a sweet horse and loved by everyone in JP MacManus, @WillieMullinsNH and @BenHaslamRacing teams especially @niallkelly55 who rode him for such a long time

I learnt so much from John Dunlop as his pupil assistant at Castle Stables and my familyโ€™s involvement goes back much further than that to the happy days of Millenary,Leggera,Snowfire,Let The Lion Roar. My thoughts are with all the Dunlop family. Rest in peace Guvโ€™nor

So nice to be back at @paris_longchamp on @equidia after two years away. Thanks to @Hobbs_London for another beautiful outfit which gave me an excuse to wear stunning @Rebeccacouture_ hat again but how embarrassing to turn up in same outfit as Arc winning jockey @RenePiechulek !
