JoJo Siwa says Chris Hughes 'makes everything better' as he helps her beat fear
The couple who met on ITV reality show Celebrity Big Brother have been enjoying a visit to the Cotswolds, where they toured the stables run by Grand National and Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning trainer Jonjo O'Neill JoJo Siwa has told her followers that Chris Hughes 'makes everything better' after they visited some of his favourite places. The pop star, 22 and ex-Love Island contestant have started dating after meeting on the set of Celebrity Big Brother. After a trip to Mexico to support Dance Moms star Jojo, where she was performing and celebrating her birthday, Chris was keen to show his new partner the Cotswolds. The 32-year-old grew up on a farm in the area and he has had a long association with racing stable Jackdaws Castle, where Grand National and Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning trainer Jonjo O'Neill is based. Chris, who rides out on the gallops when time allows, took Jojo on a tour of the yard - and started to help her overcome her fear of horses. In an Instagram post sharing pictures of the trip, Jojo was seen stroking a pony in a field, with the caption: "Touching a horse for the first time in 8 years (since I was thrown off one during a filming I've been scared to be around them haha loved this though after I warmed up!).' Chris was keen to show Jojo how gentle horses can be at O'Neill's yard, with the pair posing for a picture next to a thoroughbred he rode, showing his talents in the saddle. READ MORE: ITV racing pundit Kevin Blake correctly predicts 8,000-1 Derby tricast with big race 1-2-3 In 2018 he trained to be a jockey for the Best Western Hotels & Macmillan Ride of their Lives charity race at York, where he steered Carnageo into fifth place. "Gorgeous boy riding a gorgeous horse," Jojo said, with an image of Chris heading up the gallops at Jackdaws, which has state-of-the-art facilities including a swimming pool and solarium for thoroughbred horses. On the same visit, Chris was seen leading Jojo towards the stables to meet the racers, who have their names on the wall next to each box. A friend of the O'Neill family, Chris became besotted with a mare named Annie Mc, who raced in the Marsh Novices' Chase at the 2020 Cheltenham Festival. The reality TV star has worked as an ambassador for bookmakers Coral and they owned her through the firm's racing club. Annie Mc won seven times, including a Grade Two event and two races at Listed level, performances Chris and the members were proud of. After a win at Warwick in February 2021, he tweeted: "I'm gone, emotional wreck. Pure heart. Shaking. I love you so much Annie, you've my heart forever. Superstar. Jumps racing gets you like this. Best sport in the world." Chris has seen Annie Mc at Carisbrooke Stud, where she was retired to become a broodmare and gave birth to a foal by Doctor Dino. On a rainy day, Chris patted the now 11-year-old former chaser and kissed his "legend" on the nose in one clip. "She fills our hearts with happiness, win, lose or draw and she's just such a special, genuine mare to be involved with," he said previously. "She's one in a lifetime and all of us connected are so proud. Heart of a lion." As well as spending time with horses, Chris and Jojo went to Broadway, enjoying coffee and breakfast on the trip as their relationship continues to blossom. "Nothing beats wholesome & pure days like these," Jojo added on Instagram.

Redwood Queen chaos at Wexford only creates suspicion and distrust in the sport - regulators must provide answers quickly: RACING CONFIDENTIAL
The Wexford Claiming Hurdle, run on May 29, was worth €5900 to the winner. It was the kind of race on a midweek afternoon, at a provincial course, that barely warrants a second look. It attracted six runners, all of whom have seen better days in their careers. Horses are entered in claimers because they are effectively for sale. The weight they carry in the contest is determined by the price they can be bought for afterwards. This particular running, however, has caused fury on remarkable levels from punters and understandably so. No race in the past seven days has attracted more discussion and no race in the last year has done more to damage perceptions of the sport. Everything revolves around a mare called Redwood Queen, who is trained by Charles Byrnes and was ridden at Wexford by his son, Philip. She was second favourite behind Beacon Edge, trained by Gordon Elliott. Her price when the market opened was 7/2; those odds drifted out to 13/2 at the off. Beacon Edge, on all known form, should have won in canter. He might be 11 now but odds of 1/3 indicated this was going to be a procession for the gelding. It was anything but – coming to the final flight, Beacon Edge was booked for second place as Redwood Queen galloped with enthusiasm. Then came the incident that sparked outrage. Byrnes unseated at the final obstacle without any semblance of a mistake from Redwood Queen – the mare didn't touch a bar of the hurdle, her stride didn't falter but her jockey ended up on the floor and Beacon Edge ran out a fortuitous winner. 'On paper it was a penalty kick but I was very lucky to get the opportunity,' said the successful rider Josh Halford. Racecourse stewards watched a replay but took no action. The Racing Post's in-running comments reported Byrnes 'became unbalanced at the last' and said the jockey 'will be disappointed to have unshipped.' The race is now being reviewed by the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (IHRB). Many in the court of social media were quick to make the kind of sweeping judgements that if printed in a media publication, without any evidence, would lead to libel claims. What we can say, with certainty, is that Byrnes's riding, on this occasion, was terrible. A rider of his experience should not have come out of the saddle with such apparent ease. The more camera angles you see, the more your eyebrows raise and it isn't difficult to understand why so many punched damning verdicts into their phones for the digital world to see. This situation could have been addressed immediately if the racecourse stewards had acted decisively. Those watching had their fury fuelled by the fact Beacon Edge came in for significant support before the start while Redwood Queen's price could not be given away. All this creates suspicion, distrust and stewards burying their heads when there was an issue for them to address is hugely detrimental to a sport that has critics in all manner of different places. If those who follow the game religiously start to falter, what happens next? Charles Byrnes, aware of the pounding his reputation had been taking, broke cover at the start of this week to say: 'There's no-one hurting more than Philip. He was trying to get the mare to go in and pop it. She had the race won but she came up out of his hands and blew him out of the saddle.' Redwood Queen was claimed by another trainer, Cian Collins, after the race for €6000 and her next assignment will be watched with interest. It just goes to show, though, the damage that can be caused when an information vacuum appears. The IHRB must find answers: quickly. BHA should send a message to MIA Chair Charles Allen or – Lord Allen of Kensington, to give him his full title – should have started his role as the new Chair of the British Horseracing Authority on Monday. Instead, late last week, he pulled the rug from under the BHA by informing them he was not yet ready to commence his duties. Lord Allen wants to hold more meetings with stakeholders to, according to a hastily-published and curtly-worded statement from the BHA, 'continue meeting stakeholders to better inform his vision for the sport.' Looking on from afar, you would say that wants to see what the land is like to determine whether he can be a success or not. It was a risible decision from the 68-year-old. Horseracing needs someone with authority and bravery to lead the sport forward, not someone seemingly protecting themselves. If the BHA have it within their power, they should thank Lord Allen for his time and appoint someone who can start with immediate effect, understanding the privilege to which they have been afforded. He has made a dreadful first impression. Buick eyes a shot at history-making William Buick wouldn't entertain the prospect of history when we spoke last week but he is aware of its potential at Epsom. Buick will ride Desert Flower in the Betfred Oaks and Ruling Court in the Betfred Derby, the horses on whom he won the 1000 Guineas and 2000 Guineas respectively at Newmarket last month. These are the kind of equine athletes that could enliven the summer. 1814 was the first year that it became possible for a jockey to win four Classics by the start of June but, incredibly, nobody has managed the feat. Only nine riders have managed to get three of the four, the last being Kieren Fallon in 1999. Fallon came within a neck of landing the quartet. Wince had won the 1000 Guineas, Ramruma took the Oaks and Oath won the Derby but Enrique, his mount in the 2000 Guineas, failed a narrow margin to cut down Island Sands at Newmarket. Can Buick do what proved beyond Steve Cauthen (1985), Willie Carson (1980), Lester Piggott (1970), George Moore (1967), Gordon Richards (1942), Herbert Randall (1902), John Barnham Day (1840) and Frank Buckle (1823)? It adds a level of spice to a fantastic weekend. You can catch up with Buick's interview here. Something for the weekend The Classics take centre stage and there was a feeling, at one stage that Andrew Balding's ROYAL PLAYWRIGHT would be contesting them. It hasn't turned out that way but the three-year-old can still win at Epsom on Saturday in the Group Three Diomed Stakes.

Expected Derby 25 field as 20 horses on target for £1.5 million Epsom Classic
Aidan O'Brien trains four of the candidates for the Betfred-sponsored race, which has also attracted 2,000 Guineas winner Ruling Court, including big race favourite Delacroix There could be a maximum field for the £1.5 million Betfred Derby after 20 horses were confirmed on Monday. Ante-post favourite Delacroix was the headline colt among the 20 names on track for the famous Classic to be run at Epsom on Saturday. Trained by Aidan O'Brien, Delacroix propelled himself to the head of the Classic betting with conclusive victories in two spring Derby trials, adding to his narrow defeat in last year's Futurity Trophy at Doncaster. He is one of four contenders from Ballydoyle, with The Lion In Winter another key name despite his odds-on defeat in the Dante, while Lambourn and Puppet Master won trials at Chester and Lingfield respectively. The Charlie Appleby-trained Ruling Court bids to add another Classic to his CV, with the 2,000 Guineas winner one of two for Godolphin along with the Newmarket fourth Tornado Alert for Saeed bin Suroor. Dante winner Pride Of Arras is one of two possibles for Ralph Beckett who could also run Stanhope Gardens while John and Thady Gosden have confirmed both York second Damysus and the Juddmonte-owned fifth Nightwalker. Juddmonte have added a second string to their bow though, as French raider New Ground has been supplemented at a cost of £75,000 after finishing third in each of his two starts for trainer Henri-Francois Devin this season. The son of New Bay was beaten just a length by French Derby runner-up Cualificar in April and Juddmonte's European racing manager Barry Mahon is confident he will thrive for stepping up in trip. The Francis Graffard-trained Midak has also been added to the race and he will carry the colours of the Aga Khan Studs, with the race run in honour of the Aga Khan IV, who died in February. Charlie Johnston could be double-handed via Lazy Griff and Green Storm, with Al Wasl Storm, Nightime Dancer, Rogue Impact, Sea Scout, Tennessee Stud and Tuscan Hills round out the potential field.
