- Description:In a heartwarming display of equine interest, a video shared by @seanhanlon2021 on March 15, 2023, shows racehorse Hewick watching the Cheltenham Gold Cup from his stable at John Hanlon Racing in Bagenalstown, County Carlow, Ireland. Although originally scheduled to compete, trainer Sean Hanlon made the difficult decision to withdraw Hewick due to unsuitable soft ground conditions. The caption explains, "The horse's name is Hewick, he was meant to be running in the race he is watching in the video... The ground was too soft, he doesn't like soft ground and wouldn't of ran well and could of picked up an injury if we ran him."
