🤯 The state of the ground at Cheltenham as of 9am this morning... (📹: Syd Hosie Racing)

🏆 So a King George winner walks into a bar...

🚀 2025 Champion Hurdle winner BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD leading the pack after racing at Leopardstown this evening. "Frightening", some might call her gallop...

🏇 CONSTITUTION HILL gallop at Newbury, per @DominicKing_DM.

😍 GALOPIN DES CHAMPS taking it all in at Cheltenham this morning.

😂 Fair to say Ian Rayner had a few quid on AIR OF ENTITLEMENT in the boys race... #CheltenhamFestival

👎 Some sad news emerging this evening - it seems ELIXIR DE NUTZ is no longer with us after his fall at Sandown today. 🏇 His Grade 1 win in the Clarence House at Cheltenham in January will live long in the memory.

👏 Credit to Gordon Elliott for sending such a strong team to the Dublin Racing Festival this year - a change of approach that saw the yard notch five winners across the weekend. 🏇 BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD 🏇 BOWENSONFIRE 🏇 ROMEO COOLIO 🏇 JACOB'S LADDER 🏇 BROADWAY TED

👑 HONEYSUCKLE has landed at Cheltenham. 🏇 Will she win the Mares Hurdle on Tuesday?

🟢🔵 Paul Townend rides CHAMP KIELY in the Grade 1 WillowWarm Gold Cup at FairyhouseRacecourse.

❤️💙 THOUSAND STARS - winner of four Grade 1 races and the County Hurdle at the 2010 Cheltenham Festival - is sadly no longer with us. 🏇 A brilliant horse, he also finished behind the legendary HURRICANE FLY in Grade 1s on a number of occasions!

✅️ HEWICK has been retired following his 3rd placed finish at Cork this evening. 👍 What a career - his success in the 2023 King George VI Chase will live long in the memory. 👀 Did you know he only cost €850?

💔 Heartbreaking news following the conclusion of the Cheltenham Gold Cup as ENVOI ALLEN is sadly no longer with us. The word 'legend' is thrown around a fair bit but he certainly fell into that category for me - especially at Down Royal and Cheltenham.

❤️ Sorry to hear that 10-time Grade 1 winner UN DE SCEAUX is no longer with us after sustaining a fatal injury in his paddock at home. Thoughts are with his connections - both during his racing career and in his retirement.

🤢 Sick as a pig - KOPEK DES BORDES looked to have the race at his mercy before a final fence mistake allowed KARGESE the chance to get up and win the Arkle. #CheltenhamFestival

🏇 Per Jack Keene, Johnny De La Hey has pulled all of his horses from Paul Nicholls' yard. ✅ PIC D'ORHY one of seven who will now be trained by newly crowned champion trainer Dan Skelton.

💀 Barry Connell on IL ETAIT TEMPS, per Joshua Stacey: "We beat him the length of the straight in the Supreme - he wasn't in the same parish! "He's done what he's done, he's beaten Jonbon by eight lengths but everybody beats Jonbon by eight lengths."

😂 If ever there was a result to sum up the 2026 Punchestown Festival, it's that. WODHOOH beat, JADE DE GRUGY beat... PLACE DE LA NATION wins.

❌️ INOTHEWAYURTHINKIN will not run in the 2025 Grand National at Aintree, says Gavin Cromwell in the Racing Post.

✈️ That's a horse! OLD PARK STAR absolutely bolts up - Supreme Novices Hurdle contender for Nicky Henderson?

🟡⚫️ DADDY LONG LEGS much the best in the opener at Ballinrobe - came there tanking and won with a fair bit in hand. 👀 Galway Hurdle redemption after being f*cked at the start in 2024?

✅️ CONSTITUTION HILL will be given an entry in the 2026 Champion Hurdle, Nicky Henderson tells Liam Headd.

🌟 Paul Townend on KOPEK DES BORDES, per betway: "It’s no secret that coming here off the back of one run over fences isn’t ideal, but this horse has a serious level of ability, so if anybody can win an Arkle on just their second chase start it’s him."

🔵🟡 Sad to hear that two-time Coral Cup winner LANGER DAN is no longer with us. 🏇 Thoughts are with connections - those who looked after him in both his racing career and post-racing life.

👍 KOKTAIL DIVIN given a BHA mark of 150 - just 1lb higher than his Irish mark. You'd have to wonder if connections will go for the Jack Richards now...

✅ Mark Walsh will ride JAGWAR in the 2026 Grand National, Josh Guerriero tells Ashley Iveson. "That was the whole point of Mark riding him at Cheltenham, to get to know him before the National." 👍 Has come out of Cheltenham "very fresh and very well".

🚨 Exchange watch: LOSSIEMOUTH last matched at 4.4 for the Champion Hurdle. Mares Hurdle - last matched at 4.2 a short while ago. 👀 Is it happening?

🔟 entered in the Aintree Bowl: BANBRIDGE CROKE PARK GERRI COLOMBE GREY DAWNING IMPAIRE ET PASSE JANGO BAIE JONBON MYRETOWN PIC D'ORHY PROTEKTORAT SPILLANE'S TOWER

👍 SANS BRUIT in the Red Rum Handicap Chase: 2024: Rated 134 when joining the yard, down to 130 for Aintree. Wins, up to 140. 2025: Drops 10lbs in 7 runs, down to 130. Wins, up to 139. Win again, up to 144. 2026: Drops 11lbs in 5 runs, now 133. Wins?

👍 Great to hear that fan favourite CAPTAIN GUINNESS has been retired from racing and is set to embark on a new career!
