See Dave has put up another vid up, (All my bets) where he apologises and says he maybe should be thicker skinned. For me he has nothing to apologise for, FL boys are used to each others banter, but you don’t just don’t be so dismissive of a guest’s opinion on the show. Would like to think FL lads will also apologise and learn from it.

I thought the finishing line boys came across as bell ends and very disrespectful, i love a bit of banter but didn't enjoy that at all. I'm hoping dave put out a couple of winners to put them back in their box !

You get what you see with the FL lads, they take the piss and they are always dismissive. Even Sean got blasted for putting up Teahupoo to beat IEP at fairyhouse.. they were so dismissive, never really listened to his point. Andrew and Dave, tend to be the fan boys of the four - Facile, GDC, Allaho etc... can NEVER BE beaten.

Entertaining bunch, but you arent getting much that you wouldnt already know

Dave should have known better, he's not in here with the likes of Ruby and Lydia. These lads pick a horse, and thats it, nothing's going to change their minds. Similarly, these nothing much these lads will say that holds much value. Zero value gained

Does anyone know the remaining milestone dates off the top of their head?

13-Feb	Mares Novice Hurdle & Mares Chase
20-Feb	Hanidcaps
27-Feb	Cheese, Bumper & Hunters

So the fallout from the Caldwell situation is that apparently they’ve been laundering dirty money through their venture in the game for a well know Irish criminal gang, CAB are all over it now & that’s what’s led to the sudden pulling of the plug.

Gordon has made a decent living from the proceeds of crime going back to the Labaik days. I know it’s rife in the Industry & I had my suspicions about their outlay in recent years but my heart goes out to the stable lads/lasses that have built a bond with these animals in Cullentra.

Not surprising given the decision for all to go to public auction at nearest opportunity. These horses would be taken out of training (similar to Labaik situation) and brought under the care of CAB (Criminal Assets Bureau) until they are sold. Major negatives for all concerned missing a few weeks of training at this time of year.

Any prices for CAB to be top owner at the festival anywhere?

The timing of the announcement stunk to the high heavens tbh & I know a few successful lads in the building game but having the spare change to buy like they’ve done in recent years putting it about at the sales with the likes of JP & Michael O’Leary is bound to turn heads.

Is this true or hearsay? Seen a couple of twitter heads saying similar things over the last 24 hours.

I’ve heard almost identical reports on it from two well informed friends.

Can see how they're doing on companies house easy enough. Successful enough business like. But would seem like they're over committing to the horses compared to the wealth of other major players.

Blimey!!
So what happens next?

[AaronLad]

If they have been money laundering they've been doing a pretty awful job of it, it's hard to imagine the clean money coming from their horses would be enough to cover costs and fees involved in their operation.
I must be missing something as usual

Well if it’s true it will be carnage carnage. I hope and pray that it’s not.
