This is so bittersweet to watch. They can’t take away that feeling we all experienced. The best feeling in the world. I could not be prouder of our horse, the people I have brought together and the journey we are all on together.
She’s our guineas winner, we couldn’t love her anymore

Holy Fire 🙏🏻🔥
After her last run in March we decided to retire Holy Fire, she had a fantastic career running 30 times and finishing in the top 3 in 10 of those runs. Pictured here she got her win in 2026 giving her owners a memorable night at Kempton. In her 2 runs post win she was showing us signs that she was falling out of love with the game and we always put our horses first. We thought it was the perfect time for her to move on to the next step in her career and on that note, she has gone back home to her original breeder and is in foal to Royal Scotsman!
She was always a lovely sweet horse and we can now look forward to following her progeny follow her footsteps on the racecourse!
Thank you Mary! ❤️🐎

A day in the life of a racehorse trainer: George Boughey
Spend the morning with @gbougheyracing here in Newmarket as we can see behind the scenes of morning work and how he prepares his string for success. We also learn George’s routine during a week like Royal Ascot.
A big thank you to @StarSports_Bet for organising the stable visit and a big thanks to George and his staff for being so welcoming.
What a fantastic set up and what a huge arsenal of horses the team have for this season. Best of luck for the rest of the year!

The “MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATES” over @BarstewardsThe are at it again 🤦🏻♂️
Running a competition titled
“World Cup Of Cunts”
Shouting about “good” mental health while trying to inflict poor mental health on people! You couldn’t write it
Hopefully they row back on this pathetic clout chasing exercise as quickly as they did when calling out one of the most respected journalists in our sport..
What a poor performance 😞

The overall positive and negative feeling from attending Epsom yesterday as an owner.
The positive: the course went above and beyond to try and accommodate our needs.
Firstly a very affordable price for a private box on the second floor with all inclusive food and drink. The staff so friendly and communication from the course 10/10!
The course then went a step further to allow every single shareholder into the parade ring. Something which might seem unimportant to some but as an owner we love to be on the ring to support our horse and speak to our jockey. Someone from the racecourse met us outside the ring to allow us in and thanks us for supporting the meeting. What a lovely experience and I wish the likes of Lingfield could learn a thing or too here.
Thank you Epsom! @EpsomRacecourse

The only negative I had is hopefully one which is an easy fix but it is a huge bug bearer of mine and I have no idea why it’s so bad here in the uk.
The lack of screens. I genuinely could not see a screen clearly and we were in the main grandstand. I had no idea how my horse had gone down to the start and we had to try and watch it on our phones. Only as the horses entered the final 2 furlongs could you try to see where they were. Completely takes away from the excitement and viewing. If you’re going to attend to watch the sport then you should be able to do so, the screens in the majority of racecourses are a huge issue and made to look silly by international meeting. Similar at Cheltenham unfortunately

I own all the breedings rights ❌
I influenced all the owners ❌
The offer was fake ❌
The offer was £3.5M ❌
Just a few completely made up lies in one post, welcome to racing X 😂
Basher Watts turning 3.5m down for she’s perfect genuinely might be the worst decision in racing history

Thank you for all of the messages guys. Thankfully she’s absolutely fine.
She got really worked up before the start and as you can hear from Shoeys feedback she hated the ground today and he did the right thing and looked after her after he knew she wasn’t right/wasn’t going to win.
Shes ok, that’s the most important thing and we will regroup and go another day ❤️ appreciate all the messages asking if shes all ok

A group runner on Derby day, Shes Perfect is back!
Shes Perfect (Sue) lines up in the Group 3 Princess Elizabeth Stakes - 2:05 Epsom with the King back on board.
Any race on Derby day is going to be ridiculously competitive, days like this are why we are all involved in this amazing sport. I wouldn’t swap her for the world and fancy her to go very close!
Come on the Queen
