Special for Newmarket’s opening day to include the Pat Smullen Memorial Handicap. The Curragh was Pat’s home course but we remember him here with respect and fondness, especially for his 2000 Guineas win on Refuse To Bend.
Well done @TedDurcan for honouring your friend today 💚
Congratulations to Stockport Harrier & Supervet @fellrunningandy Andy Davies 7th 2.15:.50 in the British Athletics marathon trials in Kew Gardens. Andy works as a teacher yet has achieved some amazing consistency with his marathons over a number of years 🏆
@CaoimheNicD Your Dad is still highly regarded in Cobh, Caoimhe. Such a nice man and a great player in his day, although my recollection of him on the field of play would be vague, I've encountered him many times in more recent years and you could not meet a nicer guy.
When the sport needed a big lift, the Cheltenham Festival delivered! The game is far from perfect and we must keep pushing to make it better, but that was some serious sport this week. Human and equine heroes everywhere. What a joy to watch. 🙌
My phone is melting, so I just want to say a huge thanks to all that have got in touch. It’s a massive to buzz to hear from so many people that did the treble. I’m doing this long enough to know how very rare days like this are, so please forgive the trumpet! 🙂 @itvracing
Congratulations @RichardFahey and @callaghan_roger Pat was really touched by this gesture & no doubt is celebrating in heaven! I’ve let the human nurse Dee know & she’s delighted- this is for her & all the hardworking nurses in SVPH
"The death of Jerry Kiernan, Olympian, sports commentator and athletics coach will have been heard with sadness by all those in the sports community and those who enjoyed his voice in commentary. His achievements in 1984, and his enduring coaching legacy will be long remembered."
The Busk on @RTEOne right now.
An uplifting reminder of the magic Irish musicians do when they come together.
Take a bow @Glen_Hansard & co

Training hard is not lung wrenching effort aimlessly. Training hard is doing your training in a balanced way. Knowing when to run harder, knowing when to ease back. That's hard. That's training hard.

The All-Ireland Ladies Football Final takes place on Sunday, when Dublin take on Cork. @PaschalSheehy has been savouring the atmosphere at St Joseph's in Cobh - where Senior Infant teacher Orla Finn is a member of the Cork team.
We make our smoked salmon with Irish fish, because it’s better as well as being local. Our hanging process can only handle the finest quality - firm lean fish that can hang... it also improves the fish immeasurably.
My goodness Niamh, you done a good job of waffling your way through 10mins of talktime there.
You may think your plans to ‘examine and investigate’ will cut it but what people really want to know is what exactly are you going to do to adresse the issue.
