People believe what they want to believe. And what they want to believe is whatever allows them to justify what they want to do

    David Maxwell is probably one of the only “true” amateurs riding atm. He puts a fortune into the game, and rides his own horses. I think he will admit he’s not as good as the professionals, but he tries every time. To see the flak he gets on here is quite sad really. #justsaying

    So sorry to hear of the passing of Michael @AnaglogsDaughtr . A friend to everyone in the racing world, and a fountain of knowledge. Was lucky to have spent some time with him in his new house a few weeks ago, and take him for a drive. A lovely man who had a heart of gold. RIP

    Completely overwhelmed at the msgs received. Have met wonderful people on my travels. Great owners, staff, jockeys, and horses. Made lifelong friends, and p....d a few off🙈. Had pleasure starting young jockeys, flat and jumps on the road to success. I owe racing a lot. Thanks

    Been part of our lives for 24 years. Taught @brendanp1995 @jennypowell_ to ride. Kept the box walkers company. Bramble was the most sought after at open days. RIP old boy.

    Again thank you for all your messages re joining @JosephOBrien2 . Unbelievable opportunity for me to join such a yard. Great team there and lovely horses. Hopefully I can play a very small part in their future. (Even at my age). Again thanks.

    Our last 3 horses on the gallops before they leave to go to other yards. 2 nice 2yos by Helmet with their lead horse. Thanks to all who have supported us over the last 19 years. All staff been found jobs at other yards. Great days. #noregrets

    I don’t think anyone could have paid a nicer tribute to Liam than Nick. Lovely words

    🗣 "The one thing about Liam Treadwell is that he was such a gentle man - he was so unassuming." A lovely tribute from @nickluck following the sad passing of Grand National winning jockey Liam Treadwell today at the age of 34

    No wonder @WetherbyRaces is off. York has been blown to the coast 😳

    Exactly a year ago today. What a fantastic job Pat did to organise such a wonderful race and to raise so much money for charity. A great jockey, and and even greater human being. Thoughts are with his family. RIP Pat

    Still for the life of me, cannot understand why racecourses don’t let horses be led around anti-clockwise!! Very few do and am certain would be so much safer. Glad Ricky Doyle is ok, and actually got up and rode.

    Found a new way of traveling horses to Ireland after Brexit 👌

    It's been a journey of highs and lows for @brendanp1995. The jockey tells @LydiaHislop why this victory aboard The Conditional means so much #CheltenhamFestival
