Every race you went into I had confidence in what he was doing, he was such a straightforward horse who jumped immaculately. If you could pick a horse to ride it would be him, he was an absolute gentleman.

We were in the paddock before Cheltenham and I'd obviously not had a festival winner in my career. Anthony said to me: "you're on the best horse, don't get brought down and you'll win". I pulled him out and sent him for home level with my rivals, but I didn't realise how wide the winning margin was. He powered up the hill as good as any horse has ever done at Cheltenham, especially carrying what he did that day.

Sometimes for the last race at Cheltenham the people begin to trickle out to try to beat the traffic, but the crowd was fantastic. The stands were packed and the roar he got was immense. You could never second guess what Anthony was going to do! When I was at the top of the hill he was already there. He walked all the way down back with us. He was so passionate about the horse.

He believed in the horse so much, it was a remarkable day. I had raced with Kieran as a jockey and he hadn't had a Cheltenham winner before, to do it with a smaller trainer in such a story means you probably wouldn't have rang me! It was so memorable. Racing is all about good stories when it's at its best and I feel honoured to be part of such a big one.

I went five or six years without a winner at the festival, but just to get as many wins as I did on him, and for what he did that season overall too, was remarkable. Horses that like that don't come along that often so you have to appreciate them when they do. Read more from our Fans' Favourites series:. Silviniaco Conti: 'His jumping never let him down - he was absolutely class'.

Secretariat: 'He was something else — I'm still waiting to see one as good'. Lady Bowthorpe: 'Even on Newmarket Heath, people know who she is'. Quiet Reflection: 'It poured down but we didn't care as she destroyed them'.

Racing Post Live is your ultimate racing watchalong every Saturday and during major festivals. I didn't know what to think when the celebration happened, things like that obviously cannot be planned and you don't think about it clearly until after. It was such a mad yet tremendous experience that I'll probably never ever get again, but the stewards definitely didn't take too kindly to it.

It was Anthony's home track and when you get a win at your local, you have to celebrate in style. A lot of people say they'll do wild celebrations but don't actually do it, so fair play to him, he's out there on his own on that one. It probably wasn't the most elegant thing to do, but stories like that do bring out racing in a good light as a sport.

People want to see the owner who has only one horse doing brilliantly and racing is all about trying to provide as many good stories as possible. I actually enjoyed Anthony's antics, he was so passionate about his horse that it instilled confidence in me, he wore his heart on his sleeve. The stuff you heard from him and didn't see on TV was Martin Pipe-esque.

At Cheltenham, I think Anthony was itching to jump on the back of him again. He showed passion with a typical rags-to-riches story: a cheap horse for a farmer from Dorset, the great underdog was winning everything. Read more from our Magic TV moments series:. Clare Balding: 'I was in a complete mess — it was really close to the surface'.

Real long. Would you just go straight razor to it? I just think what he should do is go lower on the sides. Which he did. Eddie and I noticed that he had a haircut so I was kind of bummed because I wanted to get him. He should just go a little lower on the sides. If you go a little lower on the sides it takes away from how short it is on top. So if he went with a fade at that point it will look a little more even.

Cart Path Only: Well get in there. Let me throw a few recommendations your way. Cart Path Only: For your personal style preference, what would you suggest for regular tour pros? Monti: A lot of the guys are getting anywhere from a 2 to a 4 clipper guard length on the sides which is nice. Or you can go straight-up Tony Finau. Get tight skin fade, scissors trim on top with a little bit of a combover.

You know what it is, a lot of these guys wear a hat so you can never see it. Monti: He came in today actually. We threw some gel in his hair. We have a pomade and a matte. How are the perks? The guys from Titleist were great to me.
