He wont be at Cheltenham this year lads the BHA have seen to that now, they don't want his name or face anywhere near it, the horses he trains yes i am sure there will be a way around that, The IHRB will be burning the midnight oil tonight some headache for them again they have no other option now but to give him a lenghty ban I can't see any other way out of it to be honest, his career is on the line now for sure, the horse was Morgan owned by Gigginstown the gelding won 4 of his 21 starts and died of a heart aneurysm as a seven year old in 2019 so the photo is not as old as was suggested. Too bad anyway

When you f**k up you need to hold your hands up and take what’s coming.  The bigger thing is.... usually a leak starts with a trickle before the full flow, it’s what will come out in the next few days that will do the most damage.  At the end of the day if it does all go tits up he has no one to blame but himself. For the sport I hope there’s nothing else in his closet cause it’ll ruin him & ruin Cheltenham if there is

As a matter of interest, what do people think is a suitable punishment, should he be barred from racing for life and give up his livelihood and the livelihood of his sixty odd staff for one stupid moment?

Most mares go to stud and the better flat horses go to stud where they enjoy themselves covering mares for a living.
