Having been sick when Hawk Wing died last December, I couldn’t pay homage to the great horse properly. With the Lockinge on tomorrow, it felt like the perfect time to honour him.
In the piece, I spoke to those who knew him best.

The Arc draw won’t be made public until Thursday evening despite horses getting their allocated stalls straight after decs at around 9.30am. Hugely unsatisfactory given how big the race is. Just do the draw live at the ceremony to quash any chance of leaks etc.

Good man, Gavin Bazunu! What a shame the FAI and Irish Government left you all out to dry.

Buzzing with that result, Hell Of A Spin has run a cracker, fair play to Adrian Keatley for rolling the big dice. Thought he was chinned for third so delighted.
Not quite sure what runs in the Middle Park but has the makings of a race that could cut up, and if so, not sure Hell Of A Spin is a 100/1 shot. Hard fancy him to win but if race weakens at decs he might run third given he is a pacey and professional 2yo.

Goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu confirmed out of Israel game, he has told players and FAI he doesn't think it's right to play. Would have been on bench. Other players now believed to be considering their position as press conference and training in Debrecen is delayed

Huge win for young Jack Nicholls in a Group 3 on the likable, progressive and rapid Miss Yechance. Fair play to him. Not sure she’s the biggest, but she’s quick. Prob worth a crack in the l’Abbaye now.

Love how Ryan Moore keeps himself grounded on his birthday, taking the ride on the headbanger that is Spy Chief.
