What a great guy is @JobarSteve . When he was racing he was also jumping out of planes at 5,000 feet. Now, in his battle with Motor Neurone Disease, he is fronting up STEVE JOBAR RACE DAY next March 22nd at Newbury. Let’s back him all the way.

@JamiesFarm @BigGive @ChildhoodTrust This is such a wonderful charity. I was at the Lewes Farm on Saturday. It would soften a heart of stone.

Dickie Davies - what a man. He was special because he was not just the consummate pro but just as nice off the screen as on it. How lucky we were to have had him.

66 years ago my Dad took me to @DoncasterRaces to watch The Queen's horse High Veldt run 5th in the St Leger. I was honoured to do this royal tribute for @GBRacing and be part of the @itvracing team today.

The Mall on Tuesday. 69 years to the day a little boy was waving a flag somewhere on the right as the Coronation coach came through. On the Saturday that the same flag was at Tattenham Corner as the Queen’s Aureole flashed by. Life can still be beautiful. How lucky was I !

Dreams do sometimes come true. Stevie Fisher in the paddock and in the winner’s enclosure with Mark Of Gold. The gods were kind at Plumpton.

[Brough Scott @broughscott]

Great to be with Chicky Oaksey signing copies of Stevie Fisher’s book ‘Blinkin ‘Ell on the IJF stand at Cheltenham. Come and see us again tomorrow and get one of the most remarkable books ever written. 33,000 words, blink by blink, letter by letter with Stevie’s left eyebrow .

[Brough Scott @broughscott]

@AlStewartOBE @GBNEWS It was as much a privilege to be a Stewart interviewee as to be involved with Stevie’s utterly extraordinary achievement

@AnaglogsDaughtr @EdNicholson68 @itvracing Crikey- 58 years ago and I remember it like yesterday. I couldn’t hold one side of Wirswall, just let him run and be a happy passenger. Going to the first he used to have his head so low that his knees drummed against his chin. Very alarming until you were used to it.

[Anaglogs Daughter @AnaglogsDaughtr]

On This Day October 31, 1963.
@broughscott rode his first winner over jumps on Wirswall Major, trained by Frenchie Nicholson, at Hereford

Got the Isle of Wight Challenge distance wrong- it wasn’t 118km but ONLY 107km. This is Chale on the West Wight - at 52km not quite half way. Rather her than me!

[Brough Scott @broughscott]

The Round The Island Race usually involves hearty sailing types circumnavigating the Isle of Wight. Yesterday my daughter Sophie ran round it in ⁦@UltraChallenges⁩. Forgive paternal pride to record that after 118km and14hrs 1min and she was first female over the line.

[Brough Scott @broughscott]

Great to talk to Steve Cauthen on the @itvracing podcast and make sure you read this new book about his time over here. Highly recommended

Farewell Joe. Have sent my respect to Joe Mercer in tomorrow’s @TheTimes

Bob Champion at Chris Gordon’s this morning, three stops from completing his Aintree to Findon walk 40 years after Aldaniti’s Grand National . What a man, what a cause!
