    Ruby, i have a genuine question, do you actually like horse racing? I find it hard to believe that you partake in a forum such as this

    Elliott issued a further long and lengthy apology last night which sounded nothing like the hollow vacuous one he gave earlier, almost like it had been written for him..

    Ruby Walsh is sad, angered and embarrassed ..expect more to come.

    Glad to hear Morgan’s mare has found a way to give Elliott the kick in the cojones he deserves..Gilt Ridden all over his face.

    I wonder what BIGMOUTH Walsh has to say….

    Hopefully the IHRB has him well restrained in a cellar somewhere Ruby. Last thing racing needs is a quote from Ted right now!

    I”m with betlarge and Joe on this.
    The truth is out and now it’s time for Elliott to step back and take the consequences of his actions.

    Rob James’s only ride of the day is now a N/R. Looks like he is going to be in for a few bad days as well. Rightly so.

    The only thing this sport has to do, is to get rid of the real garbage….. in convincing manner.
    Otherwise you’ll never attract new owners like the Riccis, JP, Trevor Hemmings and so on

    I wonder if Michael O’Leary would stand to this jockey (Rob James) as well.

    That ‘Scorned’ Kate Harrington Twitter account is proper witch hunt material. There must be a load more dirt to ‘officially’ come out.

    I appreciate what everyone is saying. Elliott’s stupid and indefensible actions have seriously brought racing into disrepute and done an enormous disservice to all the people who lavish care and attention on racehorses.

    However, is talk of a lifetime ban fair or realistic? As Lydia Hislop said in yesterday’s podcast, Mick Quinn mistreated horses that were alive. He only got a three year ban and is now training again.

    Might Elliott have good cause to feel aggrieved if he received a more severe punishment when strictly speaking there is no welfare issue?

    You can’t ban him for life on the basis of that photograph. That is crazy.

    Sorry about that, i don’t believe for a minute this is just an Irish thing. No doubt we will see things from the UK soon, maybe even worse.

    The little babies at Gigginstown have just withdrawn Tiger Roll from the National due to unfair weight…..

    This has been lined up for a very long time. There is plenty of modus operandi to the format.
    One. release offending picture on social media.
    Two.Provoke feeding frenzy and sit back stoke it occasionally with more details on website
    Three. Feed fire with fuel and slowly release more stories.
    Four.Stand in the background and report the events as a self righteous, self ordained moral compass for the nation.
    Five. Following Sunday, release starling new allegations as people fall over themselves to sell their stories to all the tabloids
    Six. Watch dwindling paper sales rise rapidly
    Seven. when the Rancid Racing post take the moral high ground you know for certain the sport is in deep deep trouble
    Eight.
    Story gets moved to the lounge. (Oh wait….)
