@Sandownpark@GLRFCA Congratulations to @jamiesnowden, Major Will Kellard and the Rc Syndicate for landing the 2024 Grand Military Gold Cup with Farceur Du Large 👏🏆
FARCEUR DU LARGE was a superb winner of the Grand Military Cup under a fine bit of steering from Major Will Kellard this afternoon at @Sandownpark. The @jamiesnowden yard are in tremendous form, currently running of a 38% strike rate.
The Grand Military #GoldCup was good to me when I was riding, and having won it four times as a jockey, it was wonderful to finally train the #winner of the prestigious race for my great friend and ex corporal #JordanWylie who runs @Racingclubvip Fab ride @willkellard@BetVictor

Stanley Pincombe ran well in defeat yesterday at @wincantonraces to finish second, being no match for the clear winner in the end. He’s home safe and sound and another positive run from him 💪🏼🐎 @chrisgordon68@willkellard

Despite the difficult conditions we all face at the moment, the Army family asks you to pause with us to remember 26-year-old Lance Corporal Brodie Gillon as she returns home today. LCpl Gillon was killed last week at Camp Taji in Iraq. https://t.co/ZcoyCoOYvA
