@PFNicholls 😢😢💔

Today we very sadly lost Brave Knight. A winner of 5 of his 10 races over hurdles,a cheeky character who brought joy&unforgettable moments to Owners Group 128. Our deepest condolences to all members of the syndicate,Freddie,Kelsie who rode him&our team at home. RIP Brave Knight💔

@sevenbarrows @racingblogger The most terrible news . What a horse he was . RIP Sir Gino you were a massive star. ⭐

We have very sadly lost the battle to overcome Sir Gino’s ailment and he has had to be put to sleep at the veterinary hospital this morning. He has been fighting from severe deep-seated infections that he had overcome last year prior to his brilliant return in the Christmas Hurdle but this time it had spread too far although his fractured pelvis was healing well. He was not only brilliant but one of the nicest kindest horses you could ever wish to see and this leaves an awful hole in Seven Barrows this morning and a very sad day for Joe & Marie Donnelly. They have had some wonderful horses over the years and they both care so much for them so losing such a young star with his life in front of him is particularly cruel. Sir Gino was unbeaten in all his 7 starts including 3 Grade 1’s over hurdles and an amazing display in a Grade 2 Chase on his one and only start over fences. We would have to say that he was just at least as good as any of all the amazing horses we have been lucky enough to have trained. Unforgettable in every way.

@parkster59 @itvracing An unbelievable trainer and a fantastic team.

Strangely I don’t feel as elated about Skelton’s £4m as @itvracing

@MCYeeehaaa @DSkeltonRacing @harryskelton89 Amazing . Well done to everyone @danskeltonracing . They have such a great and likeable team ❤️

Record breakers - £4million+ in prize money in a season makes British racing history for @DSkeltonRacing @harryskelton89 💪💪💪🏇 Yeeehaaa!

@CWilliamsRacing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻

Very proud of our young Jimmy Munro riding his first winner at Howick PTP yesterday. Wonderful to have such keen and talented youngsters on our team, they’ll be the future in years to come 🙏🏼 Well done Jimmy.

Irandando Has wins under a penalty @NewcastleRaces . Given a lovely ride by Toby Wynne . Thank you to @AllwoodSj, Vicki and everybody for all your hard work. @agentbloodstock another winner #winner

@olibellracing 💔💔😢😢

RIP Envoi Allen. My deepest condolences to his connections and his many, many fans.

@PowellJfpracing @PFNicholls Well said Jonathan .

In all the hullabaloo after Old Park Star’s tidy win in the Supreme much credit should go to @PFNicholls who minded him last season, gave him all the time he needed and then discovered that the owners had moved all their horses to different trainers.

What an honour to part own such a horse. Ratty you are an absolute ⭐. Thank you team Skelton for fine tuning him so well. @DSkeltonRacing @harryskelton89 @agentbloodstock @ged_mason

@harryskelton89 @DSkeltonRacing @itvracing @KelsoRacecourse Amazing Harry. He’s a credit to your whole team .

Absolutely thrilled with Protektorat today, he is such a star. A huge credit to Dan and the team to keep him performing so well 👏🏼🏆 @DSkeltonRacing | @itvracing | @KelsoRacecourse

@paulfergusonJTF @BarbaraHester0 Fantastic

What a fantastic run from Brewin’ to finish second (again) in the National Spirit Hurdle, at the age of 13. Great ride by Sean to give him every chance of finishing so close. He’s some boy! @BarbaraHester0

@AtTheRaces 😢😢💔

Never forgotten. Today we remember Michael O'Sullivan, a year on from his tragic passing, aged 24.

It wont be long now until the anticipation of the supreme boils over and the Cheltenham roar picks up as they kick off the festival! Lets hope we get another cracking race similar to when Noland nabbed it on the line back in 2006! Another Ruby Special!

Alfie , what a day ❤️. Now in the field with his mates Azertyuiop and Neptune Collonges . #legends #cheltenhamfestival

@BrandyandLovage @WarwickRaces @DSkeltonRacing @DurrellTristan @agentbloodstock Thank you ❤️

@SFSshawfarmstud @WarwickRaces @DSkeltonRacing @DurrellTristan @agentbloodstock Well done!! I always cheer for horses with your dads colours 💛❤️

Just Golden wins the Maiden hurdle @WarwickRaces. Thank you to everyone @DSkeltonRacing for your hard work. @DurrellTristan for a lovely positive ride and @agentbloodstock for another winner . Always special in Dads colours . #winner

Neptune Collonges says he’s ready for Grand National weights day. Good luck @AmyMud 🤣. #Grandnational #Legend #winner #Aintree

@DSkeltonRacing 😢😢

Unfortunately Live Conti has tendon strain and will not make Cheltenham. He’ll be back in training next winter.

@aspin_394 @MCYeeehaaa @sevenbarrows @TheRacingVet_ Probably not . The body won’t naturally heal if it believes there is a foreign object within the wound .

@SFSshawfarmstud @MCYeeehaaa @sevenbarrows @TheRacingVet_ Oh okay, so you don’t think the wound would have healed on its own?

Sprinter Sacre/Gofundme update. Essentially current owners were in a panic. A week ago he got a knock on his inside splint bone. Would have healed on its own. But he is at @sevenbarrows vet and all bills being paid for by Hendo. Two little pieces of bone being removed 🙏🏇

@aspin_394 @MCYeeehaaa @sevenbarrows @TheRacingVet_ The body treats the pieces of bone like a foreign object so the wound won’t heal on its own. Once the pieces are removed the wound will heal.

@MCYeeehaaa @sevenbarrows @TheRacingVet_ why would they remove 2 pieces of bone, if it would have healed on its own? Doesn’t that just see pointless?
