@AmbJapanUK Two of our little granddaughters plushies from 🇯🇵 Equinox and the mighty Deep Impact

Paddington recalled last year‘s fall. He asked Plush, “Can you jump this fence?” “Mmm…, let me see. Probably better than you.”

@horsevault @NewmarketSFA The year I was born , we haven’t seen his like at Epsom since despite many great horses gracing the race and I will count myself lucky if I see a better horse . The same could be said for Sir Peter as well 🙂

@dieworkwear Akamine-san looking as effortlessly elegant as ever

your dismissal of fat bodies blinds you to the spring/ summer menswear inspiration in porco rosso

@HORSERACING1002 The only horse to beat the mighty Deep Impact in Japan

@CollingsBerry How is Gus doing , Emma knowing he's a very old boy I don't like to ask , but seeing him there with John.

High-powered breakfast meeting underway.

@BuckleyKevin @coolmorestud @Betfred @Ballydoyle @waynemlordan @NewmarketRace Let’s hope to see that smile from Siobhan this afternoon with Minnie Hauk

True Love😍 (by No Nay Never @coolmorestud) winner of the @Betfred 1000 Guineas for @Ballydoyle & @waynemlordan @NewmarketRace

@CollingsBerry He looked magnificent and will probably come on for the run. The pre parade is one of the best ways to really appreciate and spend time with these amazing athletes

As ever, Aidan O’Brien sets the example of having Gstaad in the pre-parade ring good and early, as should be the norm for all G1 runners. People lining the rails to get a glimpse of these horses before they’re saddled and they deserve to see them.

@FrankelWatch13 Sir Henry , Prince Khalid and Frankel ....it doesn't get better than that and still stirs the soul despite the swift passing of the years.

Rare post race footage of Frankel AFTER his win in the 2000 Guineas. Enjoy. A glint in Sir Henry’s eyes.

@GlobalWatchClub A masterful choice

King of the United Kingdom, Charles III, wore his 18ct pink gold Parmigiani Fleurier Toric Chronograph while meeting with Donald Trump

Aragorn kneels. Gandalf places the crown on Aragorn’s head, and proclaims: ‘Now come the days of the King, and may they be blessed while the thrones of the Valar endure!’ The streets are strewn with flowers as Aragorn enters the City and begins the climb up its seven levels.

@EpsomRacecourse There is a lovely moment where John Oxx recollects that day , and you can see the emotion when Mike Kinane tells him after the race "he could be one of the greats"

Epsom Derby Legends 🤩 | Part 1 In 2009, Sea The Stars produced a performance of rare quality to win the Epsom Derby, securing his place among the race’s most memorable champions ✨

@abracing0 The sting of loss only fades very slowly ....still very hard to think back 12 months but what a wonderful memorial.

Liberty Island’s resting place a year on from her passing Surrounded by birdsong and flowers 🌺

@cmoreton99 If you haven't done so Chris , I can highly recommend the chapter on Forego in the wonderful "Decade of Champions" by Patrick Robinson and the matchless paintings of Richard Stone Reeves . My introduction as a schoolboy to this mighty horse.

Forego's reign, despite a number of physical handicaps was just as unchallenged as that other great gelding, Kelso. As genuine as he was big, Forego withstood all but a few of the handicapper's best efforts to bring him back to the field.

@BennyBalke @LongBallToNoOne A wonderful run from Masquerade Ball but first run of the year against Romantic Warrior at home over 10f was too much to ask . He probably needs 12f on galloping track to show his very best

THE FWD QEII CUP - Gr.1 2000m in 2:00.64 min: Romantic Warrior: 21.91 / 11.23 Masquerade Ball: 21.67 / 10.95 (fastest finish) Sosie: 21.95 / 11.10 Masquerade Ball beaten by 0.16s despite strongest closing sectionals. A stronger early pace may have produced a different result.

@horsevault @JoePorter1990 An outstanding performance against a very high quality field . His work between Newmarket and Epsom was so exceptional that it was thought he may become the finest horse trained at Ballydoyle

1984 2000 Guineas - El Gran Senor 🇮🇪

What are your opinions on Elrond?

@cmoreton99 Two magnificent horses , and Seattle Slew only just retired. Truly the decade of champions.

@KearleD 12f, just a little too far...over, 10, I know where my money would've gone 😉

In 1979, Laffit Pincay replaced Steve Cauthen on the 1978 Triple Crown hero Affirmed. Together, they won seven consecutive races, including the Jockey Club Gold Cup (pictured) beating the brilliant 3-year-old Spectacular Bid to clinch Horse of the Year honours.

@Lordoftheringsu Wonderful ...but should have been a touch longer to include the last sentance.

The Silmarillion audiobook, narrated by Andy Serkis The official unabridged audiobook of The Silmarillion, published by HarperCollins, is narrated by Andy Serkis and was released on 22 June 2023. This project followed the huge success of Serkis’s readings of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, making him the voice of Tolkien’s legendarium for a new generation of listeners. In this audiobook, Serkis performs the entire text as edited by Christopher Tolkien, bringing dramatic depth to the ancient myths of Arda the creation of the world, the rise and fall of the Valar and the Eldar, the forging of the Silmarils, and the tragic fate of heroes like Fëanor, Beren, and Lúthien. HarperCollins produced the audiobook with a focus on clarity, pronunciation accuracy, and respect for Tolkien’s linguistic notes. While it does not include music or dramatization, Serkis provides a powerful, emotionally layered performance that aligns with the tone of Tolkien’s mythology. In short: it’s the first complete, officially licensed, professionally produced unabridged reading of The Silmarillion and Andy Serkis delivers one of his finest narrative performances.
