Holywood has its sequel. #themasters

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.

Cheers Tommy mate, gonna miss you x

Thank you for everything Envoi…we are all going to miss you so much.

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

Special.

What a reaction 🥹 Henderson and OLD PARK STAR take the first race of the Cheltenham Festival🏆

That one stings 😢

@MCYeeehaaa @G4Racing_ Matt, I feel like that’s a lazy take. Cheltenham, and racing as a whole, has put a real focus on driving attendances and inspiring the next generation of racegoers. The latter are now being hit with a 96% annual membership fee increase. Surely numbers only go one way?

@G4Racing_ I’d imagine Invades has taken over for that age group.

CHELTENHAM MEMBERSHIP PRICES 26/27 It’s so disappointing to see the decision made by the Jockey Club - another poor call in what is a growing list. The 18–28 Membership, introduced in 2019 to encourage more young people to go racing, has now effectively been scrapped. 1/3
