Belated Cheltenham P&L, undone 2 good days work with a horrible day 3, but then Gold Cup day was one of those you don’t get too often.
Nice to continue a strong run at major festivals, it’ll be a while for the next 50/1 winner I reckon 😂
By usual festival standards royal ascot has been average, but a lovely result for the first few today

Today having spoken to all of his owners I have taken the decision to retire Brentford Hope.
From the very start of my training career, Dave, as we all know him has been a completely wonderful horse for us all. Taking us to some fabulous places, winning some lovely races and giving his owners The Optimists so much fun along the way.
His group of owners have been absolutely incredible, supportive regardless of result, game for a challenge and always put the needs of Dave first.
For the first time in his life on Saturday watching through my binoculars he looked like he didn’t want to line up and face the starter and for a brilliantly genuine horse, I felt as his trainer it was my responsibility to listen to him telling us he’d had enough.
There are so many people in my team that have been part of his journey and all of us love him dearly.
On ratings, performance and history Brentford Hope won’t go down as anything special but to a young trainer aspiring to get on a bigger stage at the start of his career, he will always be a total superstar.
This afternoon I took this picture of him enjoying the sunshine in the paddock. Safe, sound, happy and in one piece.
Thank you so much Dave. For all your efforts. I hope I train many better than you but it will be a long time before I love one like you ⭐️
