From the darkness our industry endured the past week,a light shines today as a trainer & man who represents all that is good about the sport, Michael McCarthy, takes down the @PreaknessStakes. A true horseman, family man & friend, I couldn’t be prouder.

Getting better with age this horse and even more to come the further he goes I think. Incredible horse, incredible performance. [Palace Pier’s Lockinge win]

Sad to wake up and read of Joe Mercer’s passing. Joe became my agent on his retirement from riding. He still rode out for P Walwyn for sometime after, it was brilliant just to ride work with him. His hands - balance- seat, just superb.

I spent many hours travelling to race meetings with Joe in my early days, he was a great story teller and made a long journey shorter, I learnt a lot from him, he was a great guy and a class rider.

Joe Mercer was a great great jockey and a wonderful man. So many of my childhood memories involved him, growing up around him was a joy, so glad we used to cross paths at the races in later years. Kick on uncle Joe.
