@RossFootball At least they managed a shot on target this week.

I thought they had guns

@CobdenHarry congrats on your first jockey’s championship! A monumental effort, great support from the @PFNicholls team and kudos to your agent @SamStronge82 for helping you on the way.

@bpowell13 @Henknightracing Hope you have a good Christmas and a successful 2024. Hope to bump into you on a racecourse in the new year.

Wishing all of you, a Happy Xmas, and successful 2024, from everyone at @Henknightracing 🎅🎉 🌲

@LeglockLuke Top work!

I’ve surprised myself and the doubters been married for a whole year #topgirl

Ardmayle wins at @HerefordRaces. That's 6 wins from 18 chase starts, which isn't bad for a horse that can't jump... Great ride from @brendanp1995 and well done to @AliStrongRacing and the team.

@flutter61 @RacehorseOwners It’s the very first benefit listed in their Twitter blurb. I’m currently in US; saw 1st April and assumed it was April Fools gag. How can you announce something like that with less than a day’s notice? Words fail.

So the toothless @RacehorseOwners have managed to negotiate their members out of one of the key benefits of membership, ROA Badge Scheme, which as the CEO states ‘recognises their ongoing investment in British Racing’. Failing their members completely & utterly once again 😖🐎

Next Monday @Southwell_Races run a £20k 0-120 chase & a £15k 0-100 chase. Same day Wetherby have £15k 0-140 & £13k 0-130 chases. Well done Southwell - others need to try harder!

Oops. PW 142 to 140 to 138. Cumulative difference is the same.

Phoenix Way 142 to 138 to 138 One True King 130 to 128 to 125 Nocte Volatus 134 to 133 to 132 PW has bt NV cumulative 30.5 lengths and NV is now 2lb *worse* with PW at weights. OTK bt NV cum 17.25 lengths. NV now 3lb *worse* with OTK. ?? (2/2)

@tflacey have you upset the handicapper? I can’t understand this. 2 class 1 premier handicaps. 28 Jan Cheltenham Phoenix Way (4th) beat One True King (5th) 4.25l beat Nocte Volatus (6th) 4.75l 18 Feb Ascot PW (5th) bt OTK (6th) 9l bt NV (9th) 12.5l Handicap revisions (1/2)

Great words of wisdom, from someone who understands our sport from every angle. Well said @RichardHoiles

Really chuffed for connections of Ardmayle 🥇winning this week @Southwell_Races -great prize money for the grade💰💰well done @arenaracingco

Thrilled with Ardmayle’s win under an assured @brendanp1995 ride. Well done to @SamStronge82 & the team at @AliStrongRacing. Special mention to @Southwell_Races for putting up such good prize money. Other courses please take note…

@bpowell13 will be proud of his son's perfect judge of pace on ARDMAYLE. Saw off all challengers from the front on the course winner.

Beautiful front running round from ARDMAYLE to take Race 2 @Southwell_Races under @brendanp1995 for @AliStrongRacing Lovely to see the 11yo win for first time in 3 years and first win on Good ground #VeteranVictory

@helynsar A good prognosis is heartening. Very best of luck.

Won't attempt to answer them, but thanks for the kind messages re my diagnosis. Prognosis is good, so I go into the New Year with a positive mindset.

@NickHooper9 @JPB_Islington An ornamental door knocker. Or door knob.

@JPB_Islington I just can’t process the physics

Oh my… And she binned him ! #NakedAttraction

@LaurenceBellman @TrinityParkStud That’s very sad. Fingers crossed for you.

Tragically I lost my mare Simply Me this afternoon whilst she was giving birth, but thanks to Becky @TrinityParkStud she’s managed to hopefully save her filly foal. There’s a long way to go but this little mite has been standing & quite lively. Please say a little prayer for her

@mjyharris @BHDFlanagan Really recommend parking at the football club. Proper car park, 15-20 mins walk to track and includes a cooked breakfast in their social club. All for £10 a day.

@BHDFlanagan And car parks : £30 daily.

Lot of talk about football chants at Cheltenham, watering etc. Biggest gripe I heard having been there for the week was pricing on and off the track. Accommodation, bars, food, taxis etc. Prices were extortionate. That could eventually put people off going. Not the singing.

Glancing down the BBC Sport website. There's mixed martial arts, weightlifting and women's football. Get a sore thumb scrolling down to find any Cheltenham coverage.
