So sad to learn of the passing of HH The Aga Khan. Deepest sympathies to Princess Zahra and all his family as well as the team in the Aga Khan Studs in Ireland and France. An inspirational man who contributed to the horse racing and breeding industry in Ireland in so many ways.
Brilliant day @GowranPark1 park today for the @Goffs1866 Thyestes Chase. Congratulations to Eddie and all of his team. MOT.

๐ฌ More from Nicky Henderson, per @RacingPost, on JERIKO DU REPONET:
โIf he is good that will be nice, because I've got ten more the same. He's no better than them and Friday is his first day at school. I think heโll run well but heโs not a good work horse.โ
โItโs [12/1 for the Supreme] absolutely stark raving ridiculous. He's never run. I don't know where these things start. I suppose it's because I took him to gallop at Newbury, but I only decided the night before to put him on the lorry because I needed a fourth horse.โ
๐ฃ๏ธ Nicky Henderson on JERIKO DU REPONET ahead of tomorrow's hurdling debut, per @UnibetRacing:
"He looked quite impressive when winning his Irish Point to Point and everything heโs done since joining us has been very good.
"We took him to Newbury for the gallopโs morning a couple of weeks ago, which he didnโt necessarily need to do, but I felt it wouldnโt do him any harm so he enjoyed a nice spin around the track.
"He was entered over two and a half on Saturday, but I think two miles is a good place to start and heโs another one of a group of lovely novices coming through the ranks. Iโm looking forward to learning more about him."
Brilliant to see this. Congratulations @WesleyJoyc50408
IHRB Chief Medical Officer, Dr Jennifer Pugh, was on hand at @corkracecourse to congratulate Wesley Joyce on his first winner since he returned from serious injuries.
Jennifer was also on duty at @Galway_Races when Wesley had his fall. Great to see Wesley among the winners again
