Max McNeill on the future of racing: "A lot of sports are quite elite but racing covers everything and everybody, and it's always been like that. We're very quick to criticise it, but I went to Cheltenham on New Year's Day and there were 44,000 people there for my favourite meeting, and I looked up at the stand and people were actually watching the racing, the racing was what they'd come for. "Racing, having a pint and a bet has been part of our social fabric for hundreds of years, so why do we want to change that? It's politicians who are making these decisions, many of whom are out of touch with what people want, so we have to change the narrative of what's right and what's wrong. "We need to be talking positively, about racing as a sport with incredible athletes, not something that needs to be banned."

Ben O’Connor’s interviews are going to be absolutely box-office this year

"It's a positive story." A brilliant chat with @JamesOConnorTD (Cork East TD) who tells @Franmberry more about the positive impact the horse racing industry has in Ireland and much more 👇 @HRIRacing | @LeopardstownRC

With fairyhouse off tomorrow im off for a great day's pointing up in Tyrella BT308EL will get you there. Cranmore (V94C1X7) and one of my favourites points of the year Dungarvan (X35VF25) are all 1230 starts. Boots are a must . All kids are free in.

Something a little different, I took to the historic streets of Dublin for a truly special experience. Joined by my wife and daughter, I spent time with David Mulreany of Mulreany Carriages, learning about the rich history of carriage driving in Dublin and the incredible horsemanship that keeps this tradition alive. From the stories of old Dublin to the skill, care, and respect for the horses, this was a memorable journey through heritage, family, and tradition. Something I highly recommend 🙌

Kilaro wins impressively on rules debut for Tim Easterby @MusselburghRace under Paddy Barlow. Winner on his third start in British points at Garthorpe last month for Louise Bevin.

Ruby analyses what happened in The Fighting Fifth today🧐

The BHA payments to Julie Harrington are a complete disgrace. Easy to despair. Lord Allen has his work cut out.... or will he just sink into the mire of complacency and ineptitude.

10 years ago, Jonny Madderson made a short film about a 12-year-old boy from Donegal with big dreams of being a champion jockey. Yesterday, at the age of just 22, Dylan Browne McMonagle realised that dream when crowned Champion Jockey of Ireland. He’s just getting started. 🙌
