History made today ⭐️ Winners at Kelso and Bangor-on-Dee take us beyond £4,000,000 in prize money for the 25/26 season, the first National Hunt yard to hit this milestone. Huge thanks to our owners, staff, and everyone behind the scenes👏🏼

What a debut! 🤯 Sea The Stars-colt Wareeth makes the perfect start to his career with a devastating display at @NewcastleRaces, winning by a street! @Archie_Watson | @HollieDoyle1

There is no greater pleasure as a racehorse trainer than this. Work done, rugs off, having fun with their friends in the sun - horses being horses. Something we’re committed to 365 days a year.

@JamesStevens180 @RacingPost Who’s going to storm up the Naps table now 😄. Been nice working with you, all the best with the new role

🚨 Some Personal News... After 7½ brilliant years at the @RacingPost, next week will be my last. I am pursuing an ambition to work in commentary, joining LAB Racing as an international caller - as well as launching some big projects for UK racing. Very excited for the future!

💖💚 Venetia Williams on ROYALE PAGAILLE: "He ran another stormer in this season's Betfair, but we've decided this is the right time to retire him. "For four of the last five years he's run terrific races in the Betfair Chase, but the last couple of seasons he's struggled to build on that. "He didn't run so well in the Peter Marsh and was becoming more ground dependent the older he was getting. Unless it was testing, he was finding it all a bit too quick for him. "He's got a lovely home organised for him, where he will be hunting in Dorset and will be going there next week. Horses like him aren't easy to find and he's been amazing."

✅ CONFIRMED: Ryan Moore will ride CONSTITUTION HILL on Wednesday at Kempton 👀

Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Gaelic Warrior enjoyed a special homecoming in Leighlinbridge today

Vieux Lion Rouge 😍 The horse that's jumped the most Grand National fences ever! 💪 #ITVRacing | @AintreeRaces | @DavidPipeRacing | @natsjanegreen

Former Pond House great Vieux Lion Rouge has sadly passed away at the age of 17. He won 13 races including 2 Becher Chases & he ran in 5 Grand Nationals and holds a modern day record for the most National Fences jumped, an incredible 254!! 🦁❤️ Read more: davidpipe.com

Lossiemouth's average entry speed of 32.52 mph in the Champion Hurdle is the fastest she’s clocked since the start of 2024. And the 36.11 mph she approached the 6th hurdle is the fastest she’s ever attacked a hurdle in the same time frame.

Surrey Quest retired today - what a stalwart - but the most views on social media was from being Constitutional Hill’s neighbour!! He’s going to have a very loving life outside of racing 💛💙
