It is with immense sadness that we share the news that Roy Rocket has died. Thank you to all who loved him, supported him, visited him and sent him cards, carrots and polos. We know you will miss him as much as we do. Our hearts are heavy. johnberryracing.com/post/roy-rocke…

It may be Gold Cup day but it was all about Wolverhampton in our house. @JohnWathenBerry the very proud breeder of beautiful Golden Horn filly Golden Muse, a 4.5-length winner on her second start. Very well trained by @MarcoBotti. Congratulations to @KeepKicking_ & @HollieDoyle1

Another spin here for my @theTDN feature with Paul Cunningham, the man who bred today's Gold Cup fancy The Jukebox Man (@benpauling1) "from only one broodmare, on probably the smallest stud in Ireland". A great story, hopefully with a fairytale ending ⬇️ thoroughbreddailynews.com/the-jukebox-ma…

✍️ All week you hear talk of "aeroplanes" at Cheltenham - meet Sean Flanagan, the jockey-pilot who knows what it is like to fly for real. Sean's poignant discussion about the late Michael O'Sullivan is must a read, too dailymail.co.uk/sport/racing/a…

🗣️ "I think it's physically, mentally or emotionally – whatever it is that she's got in her head – that matters, but she was on song today." @CollingsBerry recaps opening day of the 2026 #CheltenhamFestival, led by Lossiemouth's G1 Champion Hurdle glory. thoroughbreddailynews.com/in-a-league-of…

“Statistically, I think when you look at what we've done, we don't really have the right to have had our very first horse be of such a good quality really.” First Foal, First Cheltenham Festival for Jax Junior's Breeders Burton & Lefevre by @CollingsBerry thoroughbreddailynews.com/first-foal-fir…

A very foggy weekend in Devon but pleased to have had the chance to see our Stradivarius 2yo progressing well in pre-training under the excellent skills of Christelle Durrant. She’s a bold and confident filly, happy to lead her big hunter friends through the spooky woods.

@PaulSmithMkII It’s a strange phenomenon that the older I get, the taller and steeper Ben Bhraggie becomes. Always worth the effort once at the top however.

@CollingsBerry Very much so. I won't be taking the big coat next time. Melting at halfway!

Finally got round to walking up Ben Bhraggie having looked up at it for the last three months. A worthwhile jaunt.

Love this time of year when the horses start to use the Water Hall turf gallop. We’re not that fashionable in our yard but these four coming home are all sons of Classic winners: Ben Bhraggie (Sir Percy), Jack (Jack Hobbs), Merrijig (Schiaparelli), Suitcase Smith (Sixties Icon).

🗣️ “Without a strong foundation, the whole house will fall down.” Though the British black-type prize-money is the best in Europe, challenges remain. @CollingsBerry takes a closer look. thoroughbreddailynews.com/british-black-…

Good to have press room colleague @mollhun of the PA here this morning for a spin on Dereham. Molly is in training for the Magnolia Cup at Goodwood.

Our beautiful boy Tarbat Ness, not disgraced with a close fourth this evening after three consecutive Flat wins and a few hikes in the weights.
