Winner 29 today with Neigh Botha putting in a nice performance back over hurdles. Great to get him
Back to form after a good summer over fences.
Mrs Tabitha ran a lovely race to be a good 2nd.
City Of Troy is trending on X in Ireland. Over 1,500 people showed up at Southwell to see the star of the flat season, the greatest trainer in the world, and the best jockey on the planet. What lessons will broadcasters and racing take from this? That fans want to see star horses? That they want to know more about the trainers and jockeys who care for them? That sometimes less is more? Nah, don’t be silly. Get ready for season 5 of the Racing League - five race meetings a day with 0-50 handicaps with 3k to the winner, and TV coverage focused on everything but the betting ring or exchanges. Instead, expect fashion updates, D-list celebrity spotting, presenters doing raps, and constant reminders about how much fun the kids are having at the races, with any criticism dismissed as the work of keyboard warriors. Don’t ask questions - just consume the product and get excited for more product.
People just want to see the horses. Focus on the racing and the people who make this sport special, and maybe the sport can pick itself up off the canvas.
For the weekend that's in it. A revised version of Ireland and the Racehorse. Brilliant music and voice-over by @fobraonain. There's lots of things that we're good at in our little part of the world, and racing is one of them. Enjoy Irish Champions Festival 🏆
Horse racing in the counties of Laois, Offaly, Longford and Westmeath is an integral part of the rural economy in this region, generating €178m in expenditure and providing 1,566 jobs. The region is home to 487 breeders and 22 trainers, and Kilbeggan racecourse in Westmeath.
The owner who leads his horse up at every meeting!
Great stuff here with Tony Deegan after Out On Friday lasts out in an exciting finish for Philip Byrne at @RoscommonRaces 👏 @irishkor
