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.

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.

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."

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.
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.

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.

"The mile-and-a-quarter, mile-and-a-half horses are the ones you want. Because if you get lucky, the opportunities are enormous."
@CollingsBerry checks in with @WilliamHaggas and his Derby contender, Maltese Cross, 30 years on from Shaamit's triumph.
