    Does anyone have any more info on this.

    He’s been doing quite well the last few years, especially with his juveniles.

    They aren’t saying what “not qualified” entails for his horses being pulled at Ludlow.

    The more I know the less I understand.

    Taking Scriptwriter from Sedgefield to Melbourne Cup , and a sale that would have netted a huge profit is some feat .

    Don’t know much about him, but he seems to be a very hard-working individual. His horses always give their best and his is not afraid of aiming them very high. Has had some decent success with his German purchases and appears to be quite a shrewd buyer.
    You never know what the exact problem is, but he might not be very good with his finances or maybe his owners aren’t. Let’s hope this matter is sorted out pretty quickly, but it has to be something very serious otherwise the BHB wouldn’t suspend his license.

    There’s a pile on going on on Twitter mentioning indiscretions similar to Johnny Farrelly’s ?

    “Indiscretion” eh? That covers a lot.

    ” Farrelly, based near Bath, has been permanently excluded with no right to review for seven years, said the British Horseracing Authority (BHA).

    After a five-day hearing, he was found guilty of six offences under rules which cover “the protection of young persons and adults at risk”.”

    I don’t know what gets you a life ban – considering that calling somebody a whore, shoving your dick in their face and threatening to put them through a wing only gets you 18 months.

    His hearing is in January and he’ll have no further runners until a new license is granted. This must be very serious and I think he knows it. Otherwise he would have gone for the public confrontation, right?

    There was brief mention of this weeks “barstewards” podcast at 30 mins or so. 4 complaints from former stable staff.

    And the Icy amadán reminding us of this on twitter https://twitter.com/icyestretro/status/1722714038692454719?t=FpBUNA9Nl2RdduyjXO8x7w&s=19

    I fully understand now what “juveniles” really means

    Oh dear oh dear.
    I don’t feel so bad repeatedly calling him Milton Bradley now.
    I feel sorry now for the late great man.
    With a lad called Bradley Harris riding for him though you can see why so many make the slip.
    And you cannot call it “Freudian” anymore either!

    Oh. Oh.

    I see one of the horses that was blocked from running at Ludlow has already been transferred to Paul Nicholls. Presumably, the owners just want to be able to run it before January, but with such serious allegations, who knows if he will even get his licence back then.
