If you haven't fallen in love with Politologue already, have a look at this....soon after he led them a merry dance in the Champion Chase. What a handsome horse.

5 years ago we developed and launched JockeyCam at the 2015 @CrabbiesUK Grand National @AintreeRaces. With this years meeting being abandoned, we have been sharing some of our favourite #JockeyCam memories. Enjoy the ride with Leighton Aspel, @OliverSherwood, and #ManyClouds
Before any more crucify the jockey, watch this clip. Horse clearly got near hind stick between his near fore and pastern as he landed. Desperately unlucky. #Goshen@CheltenhamRaces
"What a talent, and what a shame" - Jonathan Neesom
"Goshen's talent is monstrous. When the dust settles, there's so much for connections to look forward to" - @martdixon
Goshen heads back to the racecourse stables. Heartbreaking for all involved.
I just had a brief chat with his lad shortly before this and he said,
“The horse is fine, and that’s all that matters.”
How admirable is that.
Hot favourite Simply The Betts obliges for Gavin Sheehan after he went oh so close with Saint Calvados in the Ryanair!
That levels it up in the Prestbury Cup between Britian and Ireland!

Paisley Park fine after his subdued run in the Stayers Hurdle. @ELavelleracing disappointed but says “he’s still an absolute star and has done so much for us. They are not machines and there will be other days” #cheltenhamfestival
I think Politologue enjoyed himself today. What a fantastic round of jumping to win the QMCC. I've seen him fly the water before at Cheltenham, so I'm glad I choose to go there. Pegasus like over it. Congratulations to Mr Hales, @PFNicholls, @harryskelton89 and all involved.
