Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on July 14, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Robert Thornton! Another year older and wiser—though we're pretty sure you're still hurdling over life's obstacles with the same ease as when you clinched those three unforgettable Hurdle Championships back in 2008. Time may gallop on, but your legendary rides remain timeless!

Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer hurdles off-track than you've conquered on it. May your celebrations be filled with laughter, joy—and perhaps a cake big enough to rival all of Cheltenham's fences combined! Cheers to more winning moments ahead; after all these years, you're still our favorite jockey who knows how to clear every hurdle gracefully.
