@Olly25Olly @JimLaker6 @ARJW78 @CheltenhamRaces Love a bit of outcome bias. 😉

@JimLaker6 @ARJW78 @LydiaHislop @CheltenhamRaces Not denying that - which is why I’m saying that risk was clearly assessed and deemed to not be an issue and since there were no incidents it validates the assessment

You never know, maybe @LydiaHislop was onto something @CheltenhamRaces Clearly races were a huge gamble after trials day and now many owners and trainers are left in the lurch with zero notice.

@dis_joint_ed @ARJW78 @CheltenhamRaces Tumbleweed

@LydiaHislop @ARJW78 @CheltenhamRaces I assume you've had lots of grovelling apologies, given the dogs abuse hurled at you that day?

@freddykaukau @ARJW78 @CheltenhamRaces Except I’m not an aftertimer.

@LydiaHislop @ARJW78 @CheltenhamRaces Hush those thoughts. Nobody likes an after timer

@John1986ire Thinking not in fashion until now.

Makes you think 🤔 @LydiaHislop 👀

@jfagej @RacingPost I’d go back further with my questions…

@RacingPost So @LydiaHislop what did the moving of the final hurdle at such a late stage have to with this ? I remember your surprise at the time this was announced. Was it 100% safe ? Guess we will never know

Cheltenham has announced that the track's final three racedays of the 2025-26 season have been cancelled to allow for an upgrade of the drainage systems on the home straight

'thousands could be asked to hand over sensitive documents just to carry on.' Already happened. The BGC has had 6 years to get affordability checks to work since it first supported the concept in 2020. The organisation needs to withdraw its support rather than keep complaining about implementation ideas that will never work.

@mindmodeller I think restrictions have accelerated and broadened since pre-affordability, no? Agree FOBTs + VIPs did most of the reputational damage. An independent review of every misdirected recent measure is probably far too much to hope for but I don’t see what else to advocate for?

I agree with most of what @LydiaHislop had to say with the exception account restrictions that are now on a different plain. The FOBTs did most of the reputational damage whether you agree with them of not. Twycross is complete idiot and a government puppet. Governments never operate with an independent lens. re Post Office, Hillsborough, Iraq war etc

open.spotify.com/episode/6yFFws… Studious moralising from Lydia Hislop on bookmakers. The levy mess directly attributable to bookmakers (not racing) and certainly not any notion of personal responsibility She's a dinosaur who perhaps needs to better fsmiliarise herself with the product

@NHRacingGuide Truly “woke” has become a synonym for “something I don’t like”. It’s lost all objective meaning, even as an inexplicable insult.

@LydiaHislop Seen a restaurant on here (not sure if it was Ireland or Britain) that served their fry up on a shovel! Utter woke nonsense

More that unites us.

@67Baird That’s Sky Sports Racing, not Racing TV.

@LydiaHislop Hi Lydia, Sorry not been back to you re freezing camera in finish line but a perfect example at Ascot today in the 2.30. Race of sorts going on for second but camera showing a still of the winning post . 2nd required fir place pit and re backers

Or even "Thanks" 😉

@corkerinmajorca @RacingTV @BHAHorseracing @MCYeeehaaa We don’t yet know the full facts. You might be right, but that which is in the public domain is as yet insufficient to come to that conclusion imo.

@RacingTV @BHAHorseracing are fast running out of feet to shoot @LydiaHislop @MCYeeehaaa

Billy Loughnane was handed a 21-day ban for improper riding after the stewards ruled he acted against the instructions of the vet at Southwell on Thursday evening 🔗 ➡️ racingtv.com/news/billy-lou…

When you’re watching the racing and you say the same thing as Ruby.

We’re thrilled to welcome a stunning colt by Bayside Boy out of Au Clair de Lune to the RaceShare string - our first foal purchase (now a yearling)! He will be trained by none other than Karl Burke - multiple Group 1-winning trainer. Karl is the latest top-tier trainer to join our RaceShare roster, and we couldn’t be more excited to have his expertise guiding our colt’s training. A 40-share syndicate - you can find more details at RaceShare.com ➡ Swipe to follow his journey and see the progression from foal to yearling.

Some of our horses enjoying a morning in their favourite place…including some of our Aintree contenders. We are so lucky to have beautiful beaches like these to add variety to their routines😍

I went to see Golden Horn this morning and found him coming back from a quick graze. He came straight in for a hairy kiss 😘

LOVE LOVE LOVE this from @WarwickRaces! Those looking for something to do on Thursday…….
