I'm thrilled to announce that from the end of this month, I'll be a Junior Presenter for @RacingTV! It's a huge honour to have been given the opportunity and I can't wait to join a team I've watched and admired for so many years.

I was VERY late to Taunton when presenting alongside Jonathan last year.
He had to do the intro on his own, and made quip in his classic, wry way: 'if you're wondering where Tom Bull is...well so am I!'
Many would have had a go at me, but he just laughed about it all day.
With a heavy heart, we can confirm the death of much-loved colleague Jonathan Neesom after a short illness.
A member of the Racing TV team from the start, we will all greatly miss his knowledge, integrity, humour, enthusiasm and love of the sport.

The figures don't lie! What a performance
The more I watch this run from Notable Speech, the more I love it.
A penultimate furlong sectional of 10.81secs and a final furlong sectional of 10.98 - with a finishing speed of 115%.
These are serious numbers...let's just hope he takes to the turf!

How about James Reveley? Was always mustard before he left for France.
Comes to UK/IRE for two rides so far this season and wins them both with perfect performances.

People having a pop at Brian Hughes not being at Cheltenham should remember one thing.
In its current parameters, the jockeys' championship rewards graft, winners and day-to-day dedication.
It's as it should be. A prize-money reward would lead to a most unsatisfactory outcome.

Jonbon facing one rival is an indictment of a worrying trend.
Who benefits from a two runner race at Grade 2 level? Certainly not Jonbon, who needs as much experience as he can get.
Well done to Calico's connections, who've spied an opportunity. But this is very unsatisfactory

Noel Fehily is one of only two jockeys imo (the other being Ruby Walsh) who is a master of the 'soft hands' approach. Watching him ride and you will struggle to see the reins move. One of the greats, here's hoping he goes out on a victory later.

Probably my favourite Shiskin performance, when winning the Supreme
Everything that could have gone wrong, did - and he still won.
RIP to a legend ⭐️
What a battle but it's Shishkin who lands the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at #CheltenhamFestival

Don't know how these jockeys (some of whom basically operate without sleep) do it.
Interviewed James Best on Weds. He was up at 4am to ride out at Sarah Humphrey's - then went to Leicester to ride there.
Delighted to see his hard work pay off in the Classic Chase. Top ride too

I was one of the first to say Shishkin left his career behind in the Clarence House, but that was so, so impressive.
What a fantastic effort from Nicky Henderson. Surely the Champion Chase has to be the aim now? 🟡⚫️

I was lucky enough to travel to Jackdaws Castle to interview Jonjo O'Neill ahead of Cheltenham. Among other things, we chatted about the late, great Synchronised. If ever there was an example of a trainer loving his horse, this is it:

If the trainers' c'ship goes down to the wire, might Willie send El Fabiolo to Sandown?
We could get an Esher boatload of Mullins horses in the big races.
Imagine if Langer Dan won the Select for Skelton and that was the crucial race. Racing would never have seen such scenes

Still cannot believe how he set such a mad gallop, went 30l clear, drifted half-way across the Cleeve, lost all momentum, got headed, and still won. An unreal talent at his best
He let the others catch up, and still won 😃

Thank you to everyone who's sent in emails to the @RacingTV studio tonight. We've had over 90!
Couldn't get through all, but there's a huge consensus that something needs to be done about racecourse food - both in terms of expenditure and providing for those with intolerances.

Never ceases to amaze and impress what some of these jockeys have to do to keep their weight down.
A lot of them are as tall/taller than me - and I struggle to stay beneath 14st.
I've nothing but respect for them and wish Phil the best for the future.

Times reflect what visuals suggested yesterday.
Elmalka had the fastest sectionals for furlongs 6 & 7, but a 12.11sec final furlong from Tamfana was the quickest in the field.
Her final 2f finishing % was also best.
Unlucky not to be second, at least.

Plenty of opposition to my assertion that Jetara is an excellent each-way play for the Mares' Novices' Hurdle.
Progressive, tough, and from a fine family (dam a sister to Jezki!)

The massive entry number means:

5.05 - 2lb separates 12 runners
5.40 - 4lb separates 12 runners

My sister is a coeliac and has been all her life. The smallest crumb makes her very unwell. At a lot of racecourses she'd be told to leave her gluten-free food she's brought with her at the gates. Some venues say they provide but in reality it's very minimal. Change is needed.
