TOP jockey Kevin Stott joked 'not a bad view' as he posted a photo of girlfriend Megan Nicholls sunbathing topless during their romantic holiday in Greece.
The loved-up couple are celebrating Stott's breakthrough Royal Ascot with a trip to the island of Mykonos.
Kevin and Megan, an ITV Racing presenter and daughter of legendary trainer Paul, have been soaking up the sun after the busiest week of the year in the Flat calendar.
And they deserve it, after Kevin banged in the biggest win of his career at the Berkshire track.
Megan, who celebrated retiring as a jockey aged 25 by frolicking in a bikini in Barbados, could hardly stop crying after her man won the Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes aboard Kia Joorabchian's King Of Steel.
That horse was runner-up in the Derby – and Stott was hard on himself afterwards for perhaps going too soon on the gigantic three-year-old.
But there was no mistaking his skill in the saddle at Ascot as the Roger Varian-trained King Of Steel confirmed himself every inch the superstar.
Meg joked 'thank God for waterproof mascara' as she wiped away tears celebrating her boyfriend's £140,000 winner.
Kevin had trials for Spurs as a kid and jetted off to the idyllic island in the Aegean Sea at the same time footballers are enjoying their summer break.
Joorabchian is of course famed for some of football's biggest transfers and looked after the likes of Carlos Tevez, Willian and Phillipe Coutinho.

He signed up Kevin at the start of the year after cutting ties with Rossa Ryan.
And it has proved to be a brilliant move, with Kevin, 28, making £1.5million so far this season with his runners on the track.
No wonder the couple deserve some time to let their hair down then before two more big Flat festivals.
They got together when Megan was still competing as a jockey and fell for each other when both riding in Dubai in late 2019, early 2020.
Their love grew during lockdown and they remain rock solid to this day… possibly thanks to Kevin's patience.
Speaking of their romance, Megan joked: "'Kevin copes very well with my minor meltdowns which happen nearly every week!
"He also lets me watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians so is clearly very patient.
"My dad said if we could get through lockdown together we'd get through anything."
