Can’t stop thinking about Izzy Neale, her family and friends. Coming off the back of such an incredible week of Australian racing, where we’ve seen the glamour and highs of the sport, it’s a heartbreaking reminder of the risks these incredible jockeys take every day for their love and passion for racing. There has been a lot of criticism lately of owners, loved ones and racing fans celebrating too hard or cheering too loudly, but I think moments like this remind us why those emotions run so deep. Behind those celebrations are people who know and witness the sacrifices, hard work and risks that come with this industry every single day. So much of what goes into racing happens away from the spotlight, and I think it’s easy to forget just how much these horses and the people behind them mean to those involved. Thinking of Izzy and everyone close to her. ❤️

A 2YO 1-2 for Juddmonte sires @Southwell_Races, as Juddmonte homebred Fenaroli (FRANKEL) cruises home, with Munajad (OASIS DREAM) in second 🥇🥈
A successful trip to @Southwell_Races for Colin Keane! Frankel-colt Fenaroli makes it a double on the day for the rider, getting off the mark with an easy success for the @charlton_harry team...

We are very saddened to hear of the passing of World Champion Alan Jones. ‘Jonesy’ made his first F1 entrance at the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix with the Hesketh squad before going on to famously claim the title in 1980 alongside Frank Williams at his eponymous team. A fierce racer and competitive spirit Rest In Peace
