We hear you
I'm pretty sure 99% of my problems would be solved if I could just ride my ponies. Next week can't come quick enough.

And congratulations to this week’s Tweet of the Week winner
Bryan Cooper thinks quick to rescue fellow jockey Robbie Power from disaster. Robbie thanked Bryan the next day by beating him into third spot at Navan — that’s what friends are for right?
Great work from @92bryan92 earlier, helping Robbie Power from a very nasty situation. #NationalJockeyDay https://t.co/ZOJv69yqoD
