Frodon wins the King George in a bit of a turn up for the books. 

 

An absolutely top quality ride by Bryony Frost. Dictated the pace of the race from start to finish.

Phenomenal performance from Bryany Frost and Frodon in the King George.

I was just typing up the same thing. Absolutely brilliant from the horse and jockey.

I had 7 quid each way on Frodon. Sadly I had money on a host of other cunts that undid that good luck.

Yeah shes great. Great front running performance, beat mine into second but never mind.

[Gnasher]

Paul Nicholls is the man for the big day over jumps on his outsider pick, a bit like Aiden O'Brien on the flat. You cant rule out any of their runners.

Worth a dabble ??

Good luck with that, missed Van Dijk the other day, though Klopp has obliged a few times. Went for Rockley Point in 4.10, it can't get its nose in front but stuck with it. 

I've done Silk Tie in the 3.40, it was 33s last night and got 16s earlier, its now 11s.

3rd run this month last one 3 days ago. Evans in a bit of form too. 

Red Stripes another I've stuck with. Hope you get a result, looks good.

Fucking idiot.

Is right, I'd say he deserved to get killed but it could of been fatal for a horse or jockey the soft cunt.

A golfer had also wandered onto the course when playing Pitch n Putt at an earlier date too. Who the fuck opens the golf course on the track at the same time as the horseracing?

I read that, fucksake mad. 

[Anubis]

What were the odds on that happening?

[easytoslip]

Coming to the last and asking for a big one only to get twatted by a golf ball.

Gordon Elliott, the trainer of dual Grand National winner Tiger Roll, might be very, very fucked as a top tier trainer. The photo of him doing the rounds on social media is fairly awful. As is the statement he's released about it.

I think it will pass over,but it does show how trainers view racehorses solely as vehicles for making them money. Not really a surprise.

I'm not so sure the likes of Cheverly Park studs will keep horses with him and then he is loosing all the Gigginstown ones soon. Who will give him horses?

He's a jumps trainer and hurdlers and chasers are horses which have already largely failed on the flat. There will be adverse publicity and probably a ban but he'll come back.

[ZonkoVille77]

I got a few texts about him being involved in all sorts of shenanigans during lockdown in his own bar. He has the head of a pure thicko so fuck him if he does get done. That photo clearly showed the mark of the man. In it for the money first and foremost and fuck the animals.

They are usually a step away from the glue factory anyway when they have finished on the flat and are often sold on to syndicates and small owners as they have no value at stud. Off come their bollocks and they are tried over jumps. I'm shocked people dont think these horses are viewed as simply pieces of meat by everybody within the sport except punters with romantic visions of horses 'galloping around open fields' rather than 'thrown into vats of glue and tins of pedigree chum.'

I'm not too sure about that when you think some of the horses he trains cost about 1/2 a mil, Envoi Allen was £400k, Elliot has just lost his deal with Betfair on the back of this. Some of the owners won't touch him now.

If we are talking specifically about him then obviously he will suffer but his attitude will not be uncommon within his industry. I remember about 20 years ago a scandal regarding Martin Pipe who ran his horses into the ground and raced them constantly to earn their prize money and cover their keep while treating them badly. Fuck all happened to him and he retired years later very successfully and simply handed his business to his son,David,who is a top trainer nowadays.

I have seen this referenced a few times in last two days but no specifics. What exactly are the rumours? 

[Bob]

I know nothing about horse race trainers and how they treat their horses but o read his explanation this morning having read a description of the photo but not having seen it.

 

his story reminded me a lot of the absolutely obviously untrue story of the accidental nazi salute by Wayne Hennessy.

[Bjornebye]

That picture is fucking appalling. No excuse. Greedy disrespectful wanker

He always comes across as a bit of a bellend.

Quite the turn of events that meant you just had to take a phone call while sitting, smiling, on a dead horse.

 

And why would you be putting two fingers up like that. Have you done it before...

 

 

 

 

 

Ahh, yes, that was it. In celebration.

 

What an absolute fucking cunt.
