Grand National day.
For us that live and breathe horse racing, this day can be an emotional roller coaster. Excitement, nerves, frustration, upset, elation, relief.
In amongst all of it, don't forget one key truth. The annual rabble-rousers will fire their shots at our sport in pursuit of cheap publicity again, but by tomorrow morning the vast majority of them will have moved on to something else until next year.
We'll still be here, caring for and loving our horses and our sport every day.
Take a breath. Direct them to the facts (https://t.co/wieTqJWkrl). Don't let them wind you up.
We've got this.
Grand National bulletin.
Celebre d’Allen had heatstroke. Staying at course tonight. Should be fine.
Broadway Boy. Vets happy. Monitoring for next 24 hours. But again very hopeful he will be okay. Connections loath to say anything quite yet just in case.

@kateaustin496@mjyharris So fortunate having many photos and videos of his funny ways, the memories help. I’m working at Cheltenham this weekend and it always is a bit emotional, I will have a walk to his stable and a little moment remembering his final prep and the joy he brought.
@kateaustin496@mjyharris I think it may have been cupboard love (that and the fact id normally have polos 😝) but I know how much I miss him and how much losing him affected so many people. I will be forever grateful for him coming into our lives. #truehero
