My picture of Frankel and Lady Jane Cecil taken this week at @JuddmonteFarms. Starstruck to be in the presence of the greatest animal to have ever lived.

A stunning view of the solar eclipse from @kemptonparkrace A once in a lifetime event for me! I was too young in 1999, and will almost certainly be dead by 2090! A great day.

Great couple of days at Epsom. So lucky to get as close as I do to these magnificent creatures... Oaks winner Thundering On, and Derby winner Christmas Day! It was great to see The King and Queen today too, committed to attending the races despite other commitments.

My horse has just finished 3rd at Cheltenham! Probably the best day of my life. To be placed at the Cheltenham Festival... it's an indescribable feeling! Thank you @O_J_murphy91, @Sean_Bowen_, @MprUpdates, Mrs Brown, the dedicated groom... and most of all to Ikarak!

Dan Skelton says he has every intention for Kabral Du Mathan to run in the Stayers’ Hurdle at Cheltenham. He thinks he “could be a champion”

The New Lion - the 5/2 favourite for the Champion Hurdle. Dan Skelton says he would have “gladly” taken on Constitution Hill, although that won’t be happening now.

Maestro Conti - a horse unbeaten on his sole three starts, including a Grade 2 last time out. Dan Skelton describes him as “one of my best chances going into Cheltenham.” Striking chestnut.

It was a brilliant night at Southwell Racecourse yesterday. Thousands gathered to see Constitution Hill - I’ve never seen anything like it at my local racecourse. The winners’ enclosure was 15 deep - people here to see an incredible horse.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of George, Banstead Manor Stud's resident stallion yard cat. George appeared shortly before Frankel's arrival in 2012 and had been a much-loved presence on the stallion yard ever since. Known to many as 'Frankel's cat', but affectionately referred to by team as 'Head of Security', George was always on hand to supervise Frankel tours, stallion visits and photoshoots, firmly believing that everyone was really there to see him. George will be missed by all of his fans and friends, but particularly by the team on the stallion yard 🐾

Just the best! 😆

I had the most enjoyable day shadowing @SimonHolt3 at Brighton y’day ahead of Royal Ascot next week. It was so kind of him to let me see the work that goes in to the art of calling races - I’m very grateful. I’m tempted to learn colours for a race tomorrow and give it a go!
