Waley-Cohen talks up Long Run ahead of the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup [07:49]
Long Run will be wearing cheekpieces in the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup according to owners, Robert Waley-Cohen. He was speaking to Betfred TV ahead of this year's Festival as Long Run looks to regain the crown he won back in 2011. If he managed it, Long Run would become only the second horse after Kauto Star to win the Cup in non-consecutive years. For those looking for good omens, Long Run returned to winning form on Boxing Day in the King George VI Chase, the same race he won ahead of the 2011 Gold Cup. He will line up alongside favourite, Bobs Worth as well as hotly tipped Sir Des Champs and Silviniaco Conti. It should be a fantastic race.

Horse bolts during gymkhana game [01:24]
When I'm going to get the flag during a gymkhana race, Jake gets spooked and gallops off. It looks intentional but he was actually spooked and only calmed down once I dropped the flag. PLEASE NO CRITICISM. I was holding the reins in one hand so it was a little difficult to control him in a gallop and I had to keep turning him into circles to calm him down. No worries...

History of The Game: Tom Fool [01:18]
Take a look back at legendary Tom Fool and the race named in his honor with Richard Migliore. The Hall of Fame horse had one of the finest campaigns in racing history as a four-year-old in 1953. His sterling 10-for-10 campaigns was enough to earn him Horse of the Year over fellow legend Native Dancer. When his full career is taken into account, it is no wonder he is considered one of the very best of all time. The G3 Tom Fool, run in his honor at Aqueduct Racetrack, has been won by horses who are impressive in their own right. The Mig looks at three of them - King's Swan, Groovy, and Ghostzapper.
