    Terminally boorish. From what the eye witness journo said on RUK, it sounds as if Coward did the only thing he could do under the circumstances, by keeping quiet and refusing to trade insults. Couldn’t they do us all a favour and warn this sentimental oaf off again, for bringing racing into disrepute?

    Ever since he crowned Denman’s fantastic Gold Cup win with the comment "We came here to break Kauto Star’s heart", I’ve never had any great grá for the man.

    Must admit I don’t like that comment either.

    TRF seems to be quite a spiteful forum. I’m still finding my feet here but so much of the abuse seems , well unnecessary.

    Could not agree with you more…such a stupid, heartless comment. He lost alot of fans the moment he said that. And all I can say is Racing dosnt need men like Harry…hes the type of guy who gives racing a bad name…the further he moves away from racing, the BETTER.

    Apparently, PS from the BHA has issued the follow statement:

    Harry, you’re a big man but you’re in bad shape – with me it’s a full time job now behave yourself.


    Paul Struthers, BHA Head of Communications

    :shock:

    FROM RACING POST

    By David Carr 8:49PM 9 SEP 2010

    RACEGOERS at Doncaster on Thursday witnessed an astonishing outburst from gambler and Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning owner Harry Findlay directed at BHA chief executive Nic Coward.

    Still angry at having been warned off for six months by the BHA disciplinary panel for laying his own horse Gullible Gordon, a punishment later reduced to a fine on appeal, Findlay confronted Coward near the parade ring and loudly called for his resignation, along with that of BHA chairman Paul Roy.

    Findlay, best known as part owner of Denman, was later seen in heated debate with owner’s chief Paul Dixon at Doncaster sales over Dixon’s suggestion that Findlay’s initial six-month ban had been merited.

    Coward refused to engage with Findlay, telling him this was "not the time or the place", but he was clearly shaken by the incident.

    Findlay claims the BHA is pursuing a vendetta against him and speaking to the press outside the weighing room a few minutes after the confrontation, he said: "I don’t care if I never own another racehorse in my life, all I want is my respect back."

    Erm… Yeah that’s the way to go about it! :wink:
