Word that there may have been some kind of physical altercation between Nicky Henderson and Nigel Twiston-Davies at Ascot.
I reckon the Twister would lay him out. But Nicholls would flatten both.
Who is the toughest trainer do you reckon?
The toughest trainer is probably Sir Michael Stoute, who has known to headbutt interviewers who come too close.
Gosden is rumoured to be quite handy with a switchblade and several jockeys bear the scars of his handiwork when they foolishly refused to ride to order.
O’Brien is also someone not to be messed with as he has connections with a shady “coolmore mafia”
The late Ryan Price when faced with a group of stable lads in his office making demands (can’t recall if it was union recognition or an increase in wages) asked which of them was in charge. One raised his hand. Price got up and laid him out with one punch.
Some say those were the good old days. Sounds grotesque to me, but if fisticuffs are the measurement in this thread then Price would appear to be high on the propensity to violence scale.

What a vulgar post; could the moderators remove it please
I wouldn’t want to mess with Gay Kellaway.
No, neither would I and I wouldn’t want to fight her either!

When I read the opening post without my specs on I misread it as physical attraction.
Liam Browne and a certain octogenarian trainer on the Curragh certainly had an “old school” approach to discipline, very much a carrot and stick approach with no carrot involved.

I met her a few years ago, I rather liked her.
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highwaysWilliam Haggas is the toughest trainer of them all.
Many have said they will kick his teeth in. Many have walked away with their steel toe-capped boots in shreds.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
Nothing to do with a trainer as far as I know but 50 odd years ago I used to get really good tips from a well-informed Epsom man. One day he gave me a tip for a horse ridden by Alan Watlow fpr Staff Ingham. It was heavily backed but lost narrowly. When I contacted my source and said “hard luck”, he said it certainly was for Watlow as all the lads had been on it and that Watlow was walking round with two black eyes.
