00:00- A hero in the saddle and the only jockey to ever win the Grand National AND the @Ascot Gold Cup. The smile hasn’t changed and ‘the hero’ in Graham Lee has just got bigger. It was an honour to visit my friend, Graham, in hospital today and to hear about the fantastic support being
- You’ll never guess where I’ve popped in for a glass of Champagne... @gregjames #areyouwell... #TheCrownAtBawtry 🥂
00:00 - Tragic. Incomprehensible. Devastated for John Hunt and what he must be going through. It will be a tough journey ahead. I know we will all be here for him every step of the way.
- You may have thought Ryan Moore came to @GTYarmouthRaces for all his rides and winners today but he assures me he came to celebrate my final race call at Yarmouth - the smile says it all 😂
- Watch to the end & see Jack’s little rainbow over victorious HONEYSUCKLE 🌈 ❤️ @HenrydeBromhead @CheltenhamRaces
00:00 - Today would have been Janie’s birthday - an incredible mother to our 2 eldest sons: Alex & James. Lost to cancer far too early in 2000, Janie never got to meet any of our 5 amazing grandchildren - her legacy lives on forever in our hearts 🤍
00:00- A lovely young lad with his whole life ahead of him - he loved this brave sport but, devastatingly, paid the ultimate price. Love and deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones. Rest easy Michael O’Sullivan - you’ll always be remembered as a winner and a hero 🕊️Devastating news. Jockey Michael O’Sullivan has sadly passed away. We extend our deepest sympathies to those closest to Michael.
- Pat Smullen was an outstanding man. He fought the cancer with dignity and strength - the same way he lived his life. He has died but will never be forgotton for he was a great guy in every way! Our thoughts and prayers go out to Frances and the children. RIP Pat.
- I’ve been so lucky to commentate for over 60 years! It was very special to have friends and colleagues from over the years @WolvesRaces @freebets_com last night as I called my final mainstream race. Thank you for the incredible messages which mean the world.
