Fair play @AP_McCoy going through pain barrier to complete #LondonMarathon in 4hrs 50m
McCoy’s body (estimated 1,000 falls during his career) is no longer really equipped for running as this injury map illustrates
The 51yo did it for @Hambofoundation and good pal Graham Lee
WORLD RECORD
Sebastian Sawe becomes the first-ever person to run a sub-two hour marathon in a race as he wins the 2026 London Marathon ‼️
The Kenyan runs a phenomenal time of 1:59:30, smashing his previous personal best of 2:02.05 🇰🇪
Three golds in 30 minutes for Great Britain! 🥇🥇🥇
Great Britain have won three gold medals, something which has never been done in the same day of a World Indoor Championships... let alone in 30 minutes!
One of the greatest race horses of all time, MAKYBE DIVA, has sadly passed away 🕊️
She is still to this day the only horse to win three Melbourne Cups, and in an incredible three consecutive years from 2003-2005 🏆
There may never be another one like her, and we will miss her dearly 💙
One of my favourite racehorses of all time, Attraction turns 25 tomorrow. It was a huge pleasure to reminisce with Mark Johnston about her racing career, and an even bigger thrill to visit her today in luxurious retirement at the National Stud.

@murphfinbarrs@FintanStacfit8@RacingPost Sadly it is. Difficult to take for one so lightly raced, talented and young. But he will be able to do another job. Thanks. Tom.
