Claisse found a piece of Meteorite at the top of the hill

He said it was Good to Soft

That's the first time I've smiled all day

I think elliot is a twat, hes not a c**t...is this really the end of the world! I see so many people bangin on about how he should be serving a life time ban and hes a disgrace, hes done a proper divvy move there and should be punished accordingly but the world we live in really has gone a bit mad for me..people are way too serious

2nd post in, decent..... decent!!! I like this fella

The most likely outcome will surely be Gordon stepping back and letting Busty take over until the dust settles. Im no expert on the finer detail of that, but Id imagine it will be pretty straight forward.

Obviously some owners may not accept that, but for those who want to keep the horses their like Gigg, its surely he best solution for all concerned.

True enough....assuming it can be sanctioned in time.

I feel fucking deflated, urgh what an absolute shit show..

Can picture Energumene going Marsh aswell which makes matters worse.

Made a list (a long one at that) with all bets affected by this news

Its like a fucking bloodbath

I guess this is pretty unprecedented but whilst it seems the easiest solution - is it possible? Any chance authorities would see it as Perfidious Elliott pulling the strings and him getting round the ban?

Would it not be extremely harsh to take Kennedy off Envoi, regardless of a move. The poor lad has done fuck all wrong

Think trainers need to be flexible for Chelt....Rachel won’t even have sat on Envoi....so much better to retain Jack

Myst be chance though that many of these moves are permanent.......if u were CP as example, do u want to be associated with GE image going forwards or Henry?

What was the ruling when Karl Burke was suspended.

And if you were Envoi Allen would you rather between Jack Kennedy's gnarled patched up legs or Rachel Blackmore's silky thighs?!

[Milbear0]

Yes tiger I’d agree with that. Possibly why we hear EA has left already, decision made to withdraw.

Betfair cash out removed across all but one of my bets for the fez
WTF

[jswinburne1]

Interesting how it says he is banned from having runners in England whilst the IHRB investigation continues.

Let’s say the IHRB slap Elliott with a eye watering fine tomorrow morning and conclude their investigation... then everything goes back to normal for Cheltenham?

Haven't been able to bring myself to do that yet. Nothing we can do at this stage other than to hope something gets worked out so the horses can still run. Not going to give up hope on that yet.

For newer owners like CP and the morans they will surely end the relationship between them and Gordon

Gigginstown have built up trust with Gordon over some time and for his services and since they are winding down can stand by him

But for the others how can they possibly trust him now

I just hope it all gets sorted and the owners aren't punished

The last thing national hunt racing needs right now is to alienate even more owners

This isn't flat racing, there isn't any real money to be made in the jumps game these people do it for the love of the sport

Got to show support to them and not alienate them even further

The bookies would be left with a tough choice

Justice refund loads and loads of antepost bets

Or lose a significant amount of their bigger horse racing punters

most of my ante post betting is done with free bets so it wouldn't hit me financially but I could see why big ante post punters who were heavily invested would give up

Owners and punters are what keep the sport running, they have to be appeased
