Barton Snow, like Harchibald under Henry Crow. What a ride. I've never seen a horse so poised in the Foxhunters Chase. 👏 👏 #Cheltenham @itvracing

@McGracing Dawn Run won her first race at my home track (Tralee) in 1982. The racecourse is soon to be demolished. The anniversary of her gold cup is treated almost like a badge of honour for Tralee folk. It's where her story began.

Dawn Run’s Gold Cup win drew unbridled joy from most of us present at Cheltenham. Later, Jobroke cruised home in the County Hurdle to give Jonjo a double. 40 years on and one of Cork’s finest is still at it, landing this year’s County Hurdle in conjunction with sons AJ and Jonj.

@Amykins_1 To be fair. He did say it does suit some horses. He was speaking for his own.

Nico de Boinville wants everyone to get out of his way. What ground isn't his, isn't his ground to give away. Other jockeys have the same objective as he does: to win. #Cheltenham @itvracing #NicodeBoinville

@BasherWatts Thousands of 'younger people' turning up to get drunk at major race meetings does not make them race followers. This is the lie the racing industry keeps telling itself. Fill your venues by all means. But stop trying to convince us this is good for racing.

The state of the comments section here. Racing is in a bad way with an aging fan base. God forbid you bring people in from outside of the bubble to try and reach a new audience and keep this amazing sport going! A few minute sequence for the non racing fan to try and entice new people to watch. Even this social media clip could get someone to engage with the sport, until they read the comments. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Since 2015, Willie Mullins has turned five County Hurdle winners into Grade 1 winning horses: Wicklow Brave, Arctic Fire, Saint Roi, State Man (12 Grade 1s), and Kargese 🤔. That's some training achievement. #CheltenhamFestival @WillieMullinsNH 👏👏

@chosen1ra I saw you guys combine for a 92-yard TD at MetLife in October 2019. Solid gold memories. 👏 👏

When your dog really doesn't want to go for a walk in the rain... But as the man of the house I shall not be bullied by a tiny dog like Belle! (Update: We didn't go for a walk.)
