🏆 Great to be nominated for the Content Award at the HWPAs yesterday - and @ASymondsJourno very much deserved it.
Congratulations to all of the winners and nominees 👏
Thanks to @RacingTV for taking me under their wing too!🫡
🚨 Sean Bowen has been booked to ride ZURICH in the Paddy Power Gold Cup for Henry de Bromhead ✅
👀 That leaves stable jockey Darragh O'Keeffe on this lady...
🌸
We're desperately sad to hear that Tom O'Brien has passed away from cancer aged 39.
In a decorated career over 20 years, O'Brien won five Grade 1s and twice at the Festival in addition to two Welsh National triumphs and more over the Grand National fences.
Rest in peace, Tom.

🗣️ “He surely has to be bang there at the finish with that run for fitness under his belt.”

🌑⚪ Fair play to TAURUS BAY, he dug deep to win the Rising Stars on Chase debut at Aintree!
🗣️ Another good effort from TALK TO THE MAN in second too, but the well backed NO DRAMA THIS END really seemed to tire out of that...
🔴🟡🟣 Lovely stuff from ALEXEI barring some of his jumping in the Molyneux Hurdle.
🫛 Great to see MANGE TOUT back too - she will be winning races again this season.

🟣🩷 Fair play, I got RUBAUD completely wrong there. By far his best round of jumping to date over fences and he wins the Haldon Gold Cup!
MIRABAD quite disappointing in third.
