We welcomed baby Sebastian to the world on Friday. 🏆. He’ll be coming home with his mother today, all being well - hope he enjoys his late nights in front of the NFL as much as Teddy did as a baby!

- And completing the hat-trick 🥇🥇🥇 fell to ANDALEEP (who else?) who notched up his 12th win, his 3rd at Windsor. I ran out of things to say about him a while ago, but what a remarkable horse and a fantastic training performance by @KublerRacing to be getting so much from him..
- Why is nobody mentioning that he bled?
Fergal O'Brien on Tripoli Flyer: "I'm mindful that he's had a run at Musselburgh and Kempton, and what I don't want is for it all to come too quickly for him," said O'Brien. "He's got a great constitution, is a big strong horse and it's not like he's running over three miles in - Replying to @jstewartrr @GraffardRacing and 2 othersThey didn’t change the rules for Cirrus Des Aigles who was twice the horse, they won’t be changing them for your gelding or losing any sleep about it!
- 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 that’s 5 for Andaleep this summer! Tremendous training performance to keep him sweet all year, he’s given a tremendous amount of fun. Maybe one more run left in him if the ground doesn’t completely go…Well done team! Andaleep wins for the 5th time since joining us earlier in the year. Congratulations to owner @JamesFGun
- Don’t get many days like today in racing, so have to enjoy them! FISTON wins the €110k Pertemps qualifier cosily enough, settled off a very strong pace and seeing the trip out well. He’s now won over €105,000 since being bought for £12,000 in May.Great to win the Quinte with a horse bought by @Jacobwebb9622 for @JamesFGun @sutto821 (who is drinking 🍾 out of the 🏆) and I. Merci @EcurieSeror and we are Pertemps qualified ! @Theclaiminglads hon the 🥓
- Michael was a very fine jockey - his ambition and talent were clear from his rides in France, including when winning a Quinte within his first 10 rides in the country. A terrible loss to racing but most of all to his friends and family. RIP Michael.On behalf of the O’Sullivan family, it is with profound sadness that the IHRB confirms the passing of Michael O’Sullivan
- What a day! Fantastic job by the Kublers who have improved the horse wildly since he arrived. And what a legend Andaleep is, his 7th win in my colours and posting a career best at 6 yo. Racing League at Windsor a week on Thursday where he’ll be unpenalised for today…🤞Great work team! Andaleep lands a good prize for owner @JamesFGun His fourth win from seven starts since joining us.
- One year ago today GOAS MAT (pictured) @EcurieSeror and ENFANT ROI @Leech_Racing completed a memorable double at Auteuil. Days don’t come much better!
- In exciting news I am now officially a breeder! Colt by Golden Horde born to Avenida this morning @gouffern - all appears well with the pair of them. Let’s hope he can run! 🤞🤞
- My 80th winner on Monday and fantastic to get it done with my wife and children in attendance at beautiful Clairefontaine! REGAXOS wasn’t an obvious claim as an 11 yo but this race fit perfectly and it’s now 3/3 🏆 buying horses to win amateur chases for top man @FreddyTett…
- What a legend. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 (10!) wins from Andy now, 7 of which with the Kublers who have done a fantastic job. A great team and Andy is a fantastic advertisement for their training abilities.Such a cool horse, 7 wins since joining us at Sarsen Farm! Well done owner @JamesFGun and thanks to all the team especially Shannon Passotti who rides and cares for Andy!
- 🥇!! Returned 33/1 and 55/1 on the PMU - bonkers price but no complaints, jumped them into submission on the tight track. Fantastic training performance by @h_merienneReplying to @JamesFGunJango D’Airy is back after his mishap 6 days ago, he seems none the worse for it and at 16/1 I can’t resist going in again - fast becoming a Cliff horse for me!
