It was a huge thrill to see a two-year-old filly (Wootton Bassett ex. Entrancing) that was born and raised here on Golden Farm being put through her paces in Ballydoyle this morning. Hopefully she proves equal to the opportunity. 🤞

He did it!!! Awaiting sectionals, but it looks like 1:28:50!! Share this, retweet it, donate! I’ve hardly seen him the last seven months he’s been training so much, it’s been lovely! 😅

Have a look at this fella! 😂 Less than two days old and already full of energy and character. He is the first foal by Bouttemont to be born on the farm here and I think it’s fair to say he is a very good advert for his sire. #BoutteBaby

Extremely proud of the run of Tennessee Stud in the Derby today. He’s a beaut, isn’t he? 😍 Great job by Joseph O'Brien and all the team, very well ridden by Dylan Browne Mc Mon in a messy race. Onwards and upwards.

Major controversy at Limerick as the well-backed Marian Avenue (trained by Charles Byrnes and ridden by Philip Byrnes) was disqualified after winning a handicap hurdle. As well as everything else, it is notable for being a rare case of the dangerous riding rule being applied.

What an interview this is!! Pure passion and visceral joy. From foaling her himself to being with her all the way to the winners enclosure. Magic, magic stuff. Congrats, Ronan. 🙌

Can’t believe that happened. James J Braddock is named after a boxer, was ridden by a boxer in DBM and scrapped like one today. All credit to Joseph O'Brien for buying him so well, letting an eejit like me buy into him and doing such a brilliant job training him. What a game. 🙌

Brilliant to see State Of Rest get off the mark as a stallion with Anad coming from last-to-first and widest of all to make a winning debut for Karl Burke. Keep your eye out for SoR’s progeny, plenty of them are showing a lot of promise in big yards. 🙌

Brilliant to see Harry Derham train his first Grade 1 winner at Punchestown. Harry has shown great gameness/ambition to bring horses to Ireland to compete in recent years (other UK trainers take note!) and to get his first Grade 1 winner over here is the reward he has earned.🙌

You may be interested to hear how an Animal Rising representative responded when I asked him on BBC Radio 5 Live what their plan was for the 50,000 thoroughbreds in the UK if they achieved their goal of having horse racing banned. Very revealing indeed. #StandUpForRacing

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. 🙌

Please take in the magnitude of what Ka Ying Rising is doing in Hong Kong. Today he won a record 18th race in a row and blew 0.56sec (!) off the 7f track record. Sha Tin opened in 1978 and he has now run the three fastest-ever times over 6f and the fastest 7f there.🤯 Greatness.

Thanks for the kind words re this interview and to Piers Morgan Uncensored/Rosanna Lockwood for having me. We are awful for squabbling amongst ourselves in this industry, but I'll you tell what, we have a breed, a sport and an industry that is worth uniting & fighting for. @StandUp4Racing

One of the great Cheltenham Preview moments back in 2017. Un De Sceaux was favourite for the Ryanair Chase and his owner Colm O'Connell was worried if enough rain was coming for him. So, himself and Davy Russell decided to ring a hotel in Cheltenham for a weather update...

Extremely proud of Al Riffa again today. He has flown the flag for the Joseph O'Brien team around the world, winning two Group 1s and finishing strong seconds to the Ace Impact, City Of Troy and now to a legend in Rebel’s Romance. Hopefully many more big days ahead for him. 🙌

Many have concluded that the Cesarewitch winner will definitely be disqualified, but have a close look at this. I think the 10th and final use of the whip might well have missed the horse and if so, it won’t be counted. It’s certainly worth a close look with better quality pics.

Rare to see a horse quickening from last-to-first to win a Group 1 over 5f at their ease. Tentyris did just that in the Lightning Stakes in Australia today. He's a 3yo and this was his first start against older horses (including five G1 winners). Royal Ascot is on his agenda...

Remember that time a drunk female racegoer hopped the fence into the parade ring at Bellewstown and rode off on a horse? Crazy! She ended up getting six months in prison, but has since turned her life around and is now a two-time champion jockey in Azerbaijan. What a sport!

This morning my father Willie sent this video and commentary into the farm WhatsApp group. It was completely out of the blue, I wasn’t even sure he knew how to use the camera on his phone (!), but it stopped me in my tracks. We are all so busy that sometimes we forget to pause, breathe and take in the day. Thanks, Willie! 🙌

Beset beat what we thought were all the big guns, but couldn’t beat Starford! Very proud of her, another career-best performance and all credit to the winner. Plenty of fillies-only Group options coming up for her and we’ll follow the rain. 🙌

I went on Sky News this morning to discuss the Grand National with Ben Newman (yep, the chap that ran onto the track during the Derby last year). Very annoyed that I forgot to mention Thank you for having me on and being a fair referee, Kay Burley.

Meanwhile, Dylan Browne McMonagle is flying down in Hong Kong! He has yet to ride a favourite and the average SP of his rides has been 16/1, but in the last fortnight he has ridden 5 winners at a strike rate of 20% including a double today (34/1 and 15/2).

This never fails to amaze. It cannot be exaggerated just how poorly Edwulf was that day. It isn't mentioned in this video, but he lost his vision at one stage. For him to just survive, never mind come back and win the Irish Gold Cup, was genuinely remarkable. CheltenhamRacecourse
