Thanks again to this man [Aidan O’Brien] for coming back down from speaking to the Queen, 1hr 15 mins after winning the Derby, just to be interviewed on @RacingTV. Some trainer and a gentleman with it

Battaash and Blue Point flash past the line together....Just as the photo finish is called the camera cuts to Chris Hughes who is asking Jill from Tunbridge Wells where she got her dress.

I’m not surprised @chamberlinsport was tearing his hair out, itvracing has to cater for casual viewers as well as racing fans, the former are important because some could become the latter. Racing already has two dedicated racing channels for purists.

Liverpool v Spurs, French Open, Golf, Cycling, Test cricket, end of season climax, Formula One. Digest all that and you soon realise that racing is up against it when it comes to space.

I wish good luck to all my colleagues jockeys specially the one who never have the chance to have their name in the front page but still risk their life every day.

When u have seen a horse take its first breath as a breeder, to see it win any race is the best day. Absolutely the grooms do a great job. They are a very important part but not the only part.
