@NorthRacingClub I love it 😂 An interview I’ll never forget!

[Derek ‘Tommo’ Thompson @tommoracing]

An interview I definitely remember! I especially loved his answer to how he keeps fit 😂 Maybe we could get Robbie back into horseracing - the one and only @robbiewilliams 🕺🤩

THE CHASE by best-selling author, Felix Francis - it’ll keep you guessing until the final page and it kept even me quiet for a couple of days 😄🐎👏 I highly recommend it and it’s available through all the normal channels including @amazon and @Waterstones #ChristmasGiftIdeas #felixfrancis

Tom O’Brien on the day he brought the curtain down on an excellent race-riding career in April 2023.

A father and a husband as as well as a jockey, our sincere condolences to all of Tom’s family and friends

Touching scenes at Ayr, where jockeys gathered in silence to pay their respects to Tom O'Brien.

No voice, never forgotten 🌹 We owe our horses so much as they faithfully followed our brave soldiers into war. Now and always, our equine best friends deserve our utmost respect, care and love 🌹

She’s on fire 🔥 3 wins in 6 days - welcome back @HollieDoyle1 🤩 A perfect ride as Hollie presses the button at exactly the right time bringing home OXFORD CIRCUS to victory for (T) @JPOwenRacing at @NewcastleRaces 🏆 There’s lots more to come from both and, on a personal note, it’s fantastic to see Hollie has her own individual riding flare back again 👏
