According to Racing Australia, Melbourne Cup favourite and last weekend’s Herbert Power winner Yucatan has had an official name change to Yucatan Ire. Presume he’d still be called Yucatan in the call, though? #insanity #horseracing

“Everyone misses the high-street shop. But, if no one wants to park in the high street and shop in the high street, and instead goes to Tesco, the high-street shop closes. And that’s exactly what’s going to happen in racing”

Big thanks to @GowranPark1 for the nutritious thai green curry available in the weigh room. Buffet style is ideal for jockeys to eat small portions between rides. #MuchAppreciated

Tremendous horse, nearly always in the prize money no matter the discipline. Must have been a lot of fun to own/train. Difficult to replace.
Well deserved retirement #HiddenCyclone

Happy retirement to one of my favourite horses #HiddenCyclone He was just below top class (2nd 4 times in G1s) but always gave his all, even finished 2nd in the Galway Hurdle aged 11! Horses like that are what make NH racing

Liz Doyle-trained bumper performers at Punchestown In October tend to go on to better things. Thinking of Al Ferof, Cheltenian etc.
