It is with immense sadness that we share the news that Roy Rocket has died.

Thank you to all who loved him, supported him, visited him and sent him cards, carrots and polos. We know you will miss him as much as we do. Our hearts are heavy.

@LEM00453 You should get your wish as the weather improves here tomorrow and through next week. It should be warm, sunny and mostly dry.

Bow Echo and Jack Callan, right, following the string home this morning.

"I have the confirmation that he is the horse that we hoped he would be."

@gbougheyracing's BOW ECHO is plainly the one to beat in the St James's Palace Stakes which will host a clash of the Classic colts. @CollingsBerry checks in ahead of #RoyalAscot.

Multiple stakes winner & ‘TDN Rising Star’ OUTFIELDER is one of seven #RoyalAscot contenders for trainer Wesley Ward this year 🎩 The 3-year-old son of Speightstown is settling in at the @NatStudStallion ahead of his bid for the G1 Commonwealth Cup.

Behind every good horse (or in this case in front of) there’s an equally good whippet. Olive casts an appraising eye over stable star Bow Echo.

The George Boughey-trained Bow Echo striding along the farm canter in Newmarket. Less than a week to go to the St James’s Palace Stakes, which is shaping up to be the thriller of the week at Royal Ascot.

@saraespratt @JohnWathenBerry @JTrnakova Happy birthday to you too.

[Emma Berry @CollingsBerry]

A special cake for the guv from the girls on his big birthday. He took it easy and only rode three lots today #60

An unforgettable Derby day for the Whelan family. @CollingsBerry ✍️

A day the Whelan family will never forget as Ronan wins the Derby aboard Christmas Day for Aidan O'Brien – a 12th Derby and 50th British Classic for the trainer.

In case you missed it, here's @BrianSheerin91's story from last week in TDN on the background of Oaks winner Thundering On and her owner Shapoor Mistry's purple patch on the track in the last few weeks.

"I've won three or four Indian Derbys, which is naturally a great thing to do, but I guess this would top all of that, for sure."

A closer look at the pedigrees and form of the 14 runners for tomorrow's @Betfred Derby.

Desiree, now 25, in retirement. First racehorse I rode, first broodmare I owned, dam of Delatite, Dear Alix and Dereham. She didn’t set the world alight on the track or from the paddocks, but for the fun she’s given me and the lessons she’s taught me, her value is incalculable.

[Emma Berry @CollingsBerry]

@ThomasSton83439 @theTDN Thank you.

[Emma Berry @CollingsBerry]

The Derby excitement cranked up a notch this morning while watching Maltese Cross complete his final piece of work. His trainer William Haggas reflects on Shaamit and other matters in this piece for @TheTDN.

[Brian Sheerin @BrianSheerin91]

Pretty exciting bit of business done by Paul Byrne and Emmet Mullins in recent days.

“We could try to turn him into a National Hunt stallion through a hurdling campaign, which is becoming more popular these days, so we will try and dip our toe into it.”

🗣️ "With him that was always the plan: the Derby and the Melbourne Cup."

Owner and trainer Jane Chapple-Hyam will be flying the flag not just for Newmarket but also for Australia with Balzac (Japan) in Saturday's Betfred Derby. @CollingsBerry checks in.

@CollingsBerry checks in with @WilliamHaggas and his Derby contender, Maltese Cross, 30 years on from Shaamit's triumph.
