After reading  Lydia’s thorough reply to Andyman on Iris’s Gift, I look forward to reading her take on the Cheltenham horse fatalities so soon after the Newbury deaths.
Many thanks Lydia. It’s great to know people like you are working in the racing industry.<br>Your point on Nigel Hawke is spot on. A ‘competence’ rule for licensed trainers is necessary.

<br> Thanks, Lydia.<br> You are a breath of fresh air!
Tremendous effort to answer these questions so thoroughly and thought provokingly. The issue of Iris’s Gift’s participation in the Gold Cup has clearly polarised opinion and incited quite a depth of emotional response. I found Lydia’s explanation of her motivation for the article, not to mention the article itself, excellent.  It’s a pity that we can’t enjoy her participation in racing discussion here on a regular basis (unless she is, in fact jackane!).
Many thanks again.
Well done to Lydia-I thought that was an excellent response.She even tackled my Dennis Pennis inspired question.
Thanks very much to Lydia for taking the time to compose such comprehensive responses.<br>She is a refreshing change from the many lightweight, smug or sycophantic broadcasters/journos.<br>Interesting and balanced views on Iris’s Gift participating in the GC, high admission charges to racecourses in the UK and the campaigning of Pipe horses.<br>Great minds think alike!<br>Thanks again <br>
Far be it from me to suggest that DL may be  behind in his spring-cleaning but  it must be near time that Lydia Hislop’s  generous contribution found itself firmly ensconced in the our Q & A Hall of Fame.:cool:
I do it when it’s about to fall off the end of back page but just for you i’ll send a copy now to the Q & A section :biggrin:
