Hard to comprehend and process the shock and disgust of what has happened to John Hunt and his family. John lived for his girls, they were the world to him. The racing family will always be there to support this top man - in any way we can

So good to hear the dulcet tones again of @HuntyCaller @BrightonRace this afternoon. A wonderful surprise! We’re all with you, John.

The sooner people stop dying...Come on, I earn my living from the game but what gives racing the right to be any different from any other industry?

So pleased Alastair Down was able to be there for the opening of "his" press room. A giant in our sport, admired and revered by all. A genius with words, both written and spoken, passionate, very funny and yet vulnerable and complicated. We all cared about him. Love to his family

Sincere apologies to those who had an interest in this terrific race. Especially to the connections of Knebworth. Am afraid I suffered a medical incident during the race which can happen to a Type 1 diabetic like me. I tried to keep my focus but couldn’t manage it. Bad timing. 🙏

He’ll be feeling pretty awful about it as he completes his eight-hour round trip home. A lot of people piling in on a guy in his mid 70s who’s given more to the game than most. He called nine races superbly at Wolverhampton Saturday, btw

This talk of bringing the Arc forward is just bollocks. Give some credit to Torquator Tasso. So many cynics out there. Take him out of the race and the Arc form looks terrific.

10,000 at the Emirates Stadium today, yet only 4,000 for the Derby and Royal Ascot? Makes no sense @BHAPressOffice
