Another great week reporting for @anz_news at Royal Ascot. Some fantastic finishes to the features, best I have seen for some time

[Daniel Harrold @DanHarrold72]

Giavellotto is such an underrated horse. He’s absolutely class. Oisin Murphy great ride, and Kalpana looks a better mare this year, not without an Arc chance if heading back there

[Daniel Harrold @DanHarrold72]

That Ryan Moore ride on Scandinavia is one of the best I have seen for a long time. Literally hauled a half a ton animal over the line, incredible stuff #RoyalAscot

[Daniel Harrold @DanHarrold72]

Wow, that has just won the Oaks as if it was a Class 5 seller. Not too sure how good the race will turn out to be but winner hugely impressive

We have very sadly lost the battle to overcome Sir Gino’s ailment and he has had to be put to sleep at the veterinary hospital this morning.

He has been fighting from severe deep-seated infections that he had overcome last year prior to his brilliant return in the Christmas Hurdle but this time it had spread too far although his fractured pelvis was healing well.

He was not only brilliant but one of the nicest kindest horses you could ever wish to see and this leaves an awful hole in Seven Barrows this morning and a very sad day for Joe & Marie Donnelly. They have had some wonderful horses over the years and they both care so much for them so losing such a young star with his life in front of him is particularly cruel.

Sir Gino was unbeaten in all his 7 starts including 3 Grade 1’s over hurdles and an amazing display in a Grade 2 Chase on his one and only start over fences.

We would have to say that he was just at least as good as any of all the amazing horses we have been lucky enough to have trained. Unforgettable in every way.

[Daniel Harrold @DanHarrold72]

Wow, did not see him Gaelic winning that easily at all. That’s got to be up with some of the best performances we’ve seen in recent Gold Cup history for me

[Daniel Harrold @DanHarrold72]

Good lord Majborough couldn’t jump a twig around Cheltenham could he. Horrendous, dunno how he stood up tbh

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

Cheltenham next week. Time for that lad who backed Labaik in 2017 to come out of the woodwork...

Well @JackLisowski what a beaming smile after that win. Some game and could see how much it meant with the dough on the line. Fully hope you can win the title tomorrow it’d be 100% deserved. Go well 👍🎱

Where has the cue ball gone?

Dennis Taylor pays a lovely tribute to John Virgo 😢

[Daniel Harrold @DanHarrold72]

What a calamity of a capitulation. Feel bad for both of them but my word you’ve got to admit what a choke #curling

[Daniel Harrold @DanHarrold72]

Crikey GB have completely choked in that curling semi-final. If there’s no medal again in the bronze play off then that is quite incredible after the level of performance for the last couple days

[Daniel Harrold @DanHarrold72]

@MyTentOrGeorge Get the Guinness down you lad

[Daniel Harrold @DanHarrold72]

Sorry but Harry Skelton has ridden Grey Dawning as if it’s heading for a handicap at the festival not the Gold Cup. He’s zero chance of winning that race, but he’s better than that effort 100%

[Daniel Harrold @DanHarrold72]

Another absolutely power-packed ride on Jeriko Du Reponet….

"He doesn't have a particularly exciting pedigree under the first dam, but James Doyle, who we purchased him off, was absolutely adamant that he was a good horse."
