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.

@RacingPost Seeing the horses 👍

What for you is the best thing about going racing? 🙌🐎

🚨NEW: The number of meningitis cases in Kent has risen to 34 (up five from yesterday)

Royale Pagaille, who won two Betfair Chases and made Haydock Park his own, has run his last race and will start a new life next week, having retired from racing fit and healthy at the age of 12 💖💚

@tubemapper Love that train

Empty Carriage I always enjoy the rare experience of looking down empty carriages when travelling on the London Underground network. Here's a photo taken as I arrived at Barking Riverside on the Suffragette line on the London Overground.

One horse who didn’t win at Cheltenham but gets it done at Aintree… who is it? 💭

❤️ Vieux Lion Rouge, a dual winner of the Becher Chase & a five-time runner in the Grand National has sadly passed away at the age of 17 According to trainer @DavidPipeRacing, he holds a modern-day record for the most National fences jumped (254)

@myracingtips New Altior 👀

Nicky Henderson confirms OLD PARK STAR will go chasing 😍

@heyarnoldb @Franmberry Jerry Hannon?🤣

The 'Flat Season Roar' did not disappoint @Franmberry #TheFlatIsBack

@TWEnclosure Lulamba

Which horse disappointed you the most during this Cheltenham Festival? 🤔

@twit37070217 @Starters_Orders Could do with an English / Irish one as opposed to the Scottish one

@Starters_Orders Will there be new AI commentators?

People have been rightly pulling up the jockey mode sound quality in Starters Orders 8. It did sound like it was recorded on a cheap mobile phone. New audio sequences now in. Much higher bitrate and background comms at finish. Race at Vichy (France). #HorseRacing #StartersOrders8

Wow! Gaelic Warrior, all class in the @Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup! 👏

Fakir doudaries is still running!? In the 3:20 #cheltenhamfestival

@Starters_Orders So the same as so7?

@TS123326 There is an Auto view mode. This basically tracks the field side-on from a certain distance (depending on field size and position). The user can pan around using cursors but in the mode the view will then slowly return to the default position.

Jockey career mode. Starters Orders 8. Quick clip explaining how rides are booked.

Heartbreaking news from Cheltenham. RIP Hansard 💔

@cufcdee @RacingTV @grok Knew I'd get this reply 😂

@TS123326 @RacingTV @grok If you don’t know what Lame means and need to ask grok, then I don’t think you should be following any sort of horse racing 😂

Leader D’Allier out of the Supreme after being found to be lame ❌

@_Malaciaaaa 8 days away😢

Winter isn’t over.

@ArsenalBallots Awful view
