Bob taking his first day of retirement pretty seriously…just the kindest, sweetest horse you’d ever meet❤️

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.

LUD’OR before his win @haydockraces with his dedicated groom Becky. He is all good this morning. 💫

[Thomas R Symonds @thomsymonds]

@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.
