A few not606 members will be familiar with this former national hunt jockey who passed away aged 83. "The three-time champion jockey was one of the few riders to triumph in a race against Arkle. Mellor guided Stalbridge Colonist to victory against the legendary Irish racehorse in the 1966...

Very well done to Mark Johnston on breaking the record for British winners by a trainer! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/horse-racing/45240532

It doesn't matter what happens for the rest of the day at Kempton, Bryony winning her first Grade 1 is the highlight of the meeting!

Most horse racing fans want to see The New One or My Tent Or Yours win!

I feared the worst for Starchitect and I was right, always horrific to see a racehorse break down badly like that. :(

Will Frankie celebrating thinking he won the Nunthorpe when he didn't be on It'll Be Alright On The Night? <rofl>

SP of Breton Rock was 50/1, his best form was previously finishing 3rd in Group 1 Lockinge!

Best race of Royal Ascot: pulsating finish to Ascot Gold Cup! Ribchester might remain unbeaten over a mile for the rest of the season! He should be crowned champion miler. I hope Lady Aurelia and Caravaggio meet in either the July Cup or the Nunthorpe! My money's on Lady Aurelia if it does happen!

Very late posting this! :( To say, Roger Varian (7 runners) and William Haggas (12 runners) should have a good day. Best sprinters of all time discussed on ITV4 earlier, the best sprinter I've ever seen is Dayjur who should've been unbeaten over 5-6f as a 3-y-o if he never jumped the shadow!

Menorah has been a fabulous servant to connections, hope he enjoys his well earned retirement. Highlight of today's racing for me. Right decision was made for him to retire as he's 12 years old - as the owner said, he's going out at the top.

Well done to Ruth Carr on her across the card treble.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone had Tizzard treble with Fox Norton and Ultragold at 50/1!

Highlight of today at Aintree for me is Malcolm Jefferson training a winner, because of his health problems.

Very well done to Lizzie Kelly on winning her second Grade 1 on Tea For Two! Cue Card has been a grand servant to connections, but maybe now's the time to retire him.

After watching Rishi Persad present the opening show, who'd want Brough Scott to replace him?! He won't be returning to ITV as a presenter, but I wish he appeared more often on ITV Racing. One of the most knowledgeable presenters in the last 40 years, same goes for Alistair Down.
