I've always wanted to be an oligarch. Now I am one.

@nigelgutgenug @WilliamHaggas Oh dear . I won’t be looking through the rest of the results. Too much laughing. Unless you’re Haggas or Hillsy.

If you only read one thing today. Make sure it’s this.

[Michael Caulfield MSc @TheCaulfieldWay]

If you have time, do read this, and it is far more than an article on racing, it is possibly about the most important topic of all, which is not racing. Do read.

How racing’s ‘Enfant Terrible’ is nurturing the next generation of top jockeys https://t.co/M5eSiXmtHd

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:

“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.

At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.

But cancer doesn’t care about plans.

Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.

I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.

Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.

Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.

Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.

Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.

Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.

Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.

Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.

And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.

Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.

And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

Very proud little sister today! Katie’s only gone and passed her Clerk Of The Course assessment 🙌🏻
She’s better known at the moment as Aunty Katie but I guess she can do both.
