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

As the owner of the site that is probably sensible until we know fully what is going on

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.

Yeah, I'd agree. This is only my third year doing antepost and we've had equine flu, covid and now this. Just not worth the stress at this point.

[Nortons who]

There's more bad news to come lads.

What makes you say that? Is this a fact or just a general commentary on the way things are going.

And the beast from the east before that

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.

I thought it may be related to being the Guvnor but was unsure. Fair play mate

I was sent a screenshot of a now deleted post from a former employee...lets just say it doesn't look good for Gordon.

[Muswell]

Saw that too also seen some very supportive ones from current employees

saying what exactly?

[Outlaw]

Wait for facts not rumours, time is a healer and plenty could do with taking a bit of time having just read through todays posts.
Great forum but let's not let such an issue divide us.

Something to do with mistreating women.

All speculation on my part I must add.

'Working for Gordon is definately in my opinion the best job I’ve ever had and it’s heartbreaking to see such a happy team so deflated by all the abuse we have received through social media. The horses welfare always comes first in Cullentra House Stables!'

Correct.

Was a facebook post, now removed.

Disgruntled employee type post which has now come out when Elliot's tumbling off a cliff.

I cant say I'm surprised. Personally, I hated working for him. He was a horrible bully. The last association I had with him was when I told him to shove his job up his fat ugly arse after screaming in my face at the top of his voice for helping the vet to scope a horse...And that's not the half of it. Grabbing and twisting my nipples as hard as he could against my will as I saddled up horses at the races, grabbing my arse etc (but it was all banter ) the sheer lack of respect he has for women is despicable let alone to animals. It was only a matter of time before his despicable behaviour caught up with him

*just saying what was said, could be bullshit

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?

.....more likely a lengthy ban which would leave owners like Giggi in a predicament backing a trainer who can’t run their horses.

[The Don]

I really don’t like the way the BHA have held a gun to the owners head. They’ve gone beyond their jurisdiction and it seems like a vendetta.

imagine IRHB doing the same, there would be an uproar. Seems like bully boy arrogance from BHA.... I hope it comes back in their face big time
