    • Awful couple of days for the sport and would echo the views of many on here.

      However just to move onto what it means for Cheltenham. It was mentioned previously not being ideal to change yards so close to Cheltenham (horses getting runny noses etc). Could CP wait it out and move their horses to HDB or WM or whoever, say the day before they are due to travel over. Obviously wouldn't be publicly in their interests to share this plan but at end of the day they have done nothing wrong and deserve the chance for their horses to run and at the same time do everything to ensure as little disruption as possible to their horses preparation.

        Damaging few days for the sport - yes
        Represntitive - No
        The accompanying has been reposted a few times and think originates from the account of the stable lass. It has been mentioned that a picture says a thousand words and i think this is one that speaks louder than the stupidity we have seen in the past few days.

          I'm not sure, if so, that rumour has surely got no legs.

              ....not sure if that’s still rumour, but if all turn up in a fortnight the big black cloud over my portfolio will look a little brighter.

                      Apologies if I posted wrong info then. Was told by a current trainer in Ireland so assumed he'd know!

                        I hope this happens, I honestly think it’s the best thing for the sport going forward.
                        I think that's all ok if there was actually cruelty, which there wasn't....

                        There's no doubt it painted a horrible picture of racing though.

                        To ban a man for life for effectively a crude and tasteless joke is way way over the top though.
