  • All this time that Gordon has been spending at the sales for the last few years, spending millions on all the best PTPers and then they are all taken away from him in 24 hours. What a sad state of affairs for him.

    He doesn’t even have his own breeding operation now with the Moran’s, with the likes of Apples Jade etc

    • “We’re Rural folk and years ago there was no mobile phones for people to video or take photos”

      Quote from Davy Russell.

      Some of the people in our sport must really enjoy making it easy for the haters.

        Fucking hell, who allowed that to happen. Not Davy’s fault, and I understood the points he was trying to get across which were sound points, but talk about digging the hole deeper. Twitter will have a field day with that.

              • Don't hold me to this, but the word doing the rounds now is Gigginstown will not be sending any of their horses to the Britain for foreseeable future - 2 fingers to the BHA for overstepping their mark and treatment of Gordon Elliott. Tiger Roll news was just the start apparently, the poster boy of their biggest race taken out in spite.

                  Yeah I half suspected that might happen.

                  • So if everyone bar Giggi jump ship who are the biggest losses:

                    Samcro
                    Abacadabras
                    Coko Beach
                    Farclas
                    Run Wild Fred
                    Wide Reciever
                    Column of Fire
                    Tiger Roll - would essentially be retired
                    Irascible
                    Torygraph
                    Farouk D’Arlene



                    Not seen any rumblings on Robocour - Pencilfulloflead

                    Would make me think now is the time to strike in the handicaps

                      Saw that myself on that Kate Harrington account, did it originate somewhere else? Absolute fucking nightmare for me and most of us if that’s the case I’d imagine. They were pretty explicit earlier to say he’d run in the XC but not the national in fairness.

                        Supposedly there was a preview night tonight with Eddie O'Leary part of the panel, he announced during that

                        • I think Eddie is all but done with the game anyway, this probably the final nail for him. Could quite easily see him just staying in Ireland with his horses now until they've all retired. Not sure what agreement he has with Cheltenham sponsoring the chase but that could be coming to a close too.

                              Fuck me total nightmare. Got to admire it in a strange way though. What a man to have in your corner, does not give a fuck.
