    The Argentine funeral worker had since been sacked for taking pictures of Diego Maradona's body and has been sent death threats by outraged fans

      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
      Really don’t think it will be that bad in terms of runners

      The key horses like Envoi will still run....most think he is already at or on way to Henry

      Risk is impact on moving them.....bound to impact some horses

      Once dust settles, prices will prob normalise....but I would def give yourself cover options on day

      in meantime there are prob some opportunities....NHC has loads Elliot runners at top betting and likely most now won’t go.....so long prices elsewhere look tempting

      • I think what the BHA have done is harsh, but if they have a precedent of doing things like this before, without legal challenges at a later date, then fair enough.
        They've effectively arrested him and put him on remand with no bail.

        And much like many comments previously, they've not banned sheikh Mohammed horses have they ??

        They've also sent a clear message to the authorities in Ireland to get your fucking backwards arses in gear. FFS.
        Which is also a bit rich, coming from them.

        To be clear this is not an English Irish thing, just an observation on both organisations and how archaic they both are on different matters.

        "There are rules and procedures to follow"

        Fuck them and get it fucking dealt with you Bell ends.

        • I’ll be giving up the ante post game if Elliot’s horses don’t end up running, been a shit 12 months as it is and this would be the final nail in the coffin.

                Does seem extremely hypocritical

                Some businesses too big to fail it would seem

                      Absolutely Kev. One thing I've noticed is you've been notably quiet on this one...?

                                I try and drive conversation when it's needed on here.... I don't think I'm needed at the moment.

                                My opinions at all quite selfish too I think right now, so I'm not sure I'd be adding much.



                                Reading everything to make sure everyone sticks together though, lots of very good posts and points made. Done a lot of nodding.
