          Nonsense, Henry is no small time trainer. He has plenty eggs in plenty of baskets, been there done that and is the perfect man for the job. It'd be different if someone like Pat Kelly ended up with Envoi and associates.

          • Has there been any word from CPS as to the move being temporary or permanent?

                Yeah I’ve been chatting to Seainin and have wished her a very similar sentiment to what you just said. Not that it’s any consolation, but she appreciated hearing that people are thinking about her and her colleagues but she is understandably ever so upset - “heart broken, I feel sick, my whole world has been taken away from me” - it’s very humbling to hear somebody say that and literally all you can do is send positive vibes and well wishes. She doesn’t deserve to be punished, but like she said, even if she was offered a job by HDB, there’s no guarantee she’d get to look after him.

                  I like Henry I just meant from the Twitter brigade chief. Racing fans won’t blame him at all but the idiots who only watch racing once a year brigade will see Henry de bromhead on the card. It’s similar to them blaming the jockeys even tho most likely they’ve not done anything wrong.

                  • Either way let’s just hope he stays fit and bloody wins

                        Permanent I believe - CPS have nailed their colours firmly to the mast early on this one

                        • Bartlett is based in Scotland so it wouldn’t be a surprise if he brought Galvin over this week to a UK trainer to settle him in for Cheltenham. Hobbs and Henderson don’t have horses in the 4 miler so Dicky or Nico could take the ride....win win

                            Yera they're only March blowins anyway, would pay no heed to them.

                            Hopefully all goes perfect for all the horses on the move.

                              Not heard anything.

                              He's got so many trainers at his disposal I'd say it's a given (but I have heard nothing!)

                              • Has anyone heard any notable trainers or jockeys speaking out in support of Elliot? I haven’t seen or heard any words of support? I suppose another indictment of home much is he liked
