The “fully decomposed” carcases of nine horses

[Ex RubyLight]

That’s what inspectors found at Luke Comer jrs. yard back in 2021.

Here is the full article:

Maybe our Irish correspondent Lady greenasgrass can provide us with more “local” information.

I don’t know anybody in the racing world and am nowhere near Meath but was chatting to a friend tonight who lives quite near this yard. Friend knows nothing about horses but knows pretty much everyone in the local area and is a sound judge of people IMO. Was deeply (unrepeatably) uncomplimentary about Luke Comer Jr’s character and local reputation and had his own opinion on the punishment that ought to be levied (hint: the official punishment didn’t touch the sides and the ******* **** should never be let near an animal again, the ****).

I didn’t actually know there was a Luke Comer Jr, I thought there was only one of them. I was wrong, more’s the pity.

Never heard of this chap either but he sounds a peach:

Thanks for your replies green. I just thought you’d find a more informative article from some local sources.

It was also the first time I’ve heard about a Comer jr. and I’m surprised his father was allowed to have any children. But I’m still surprised how easily people get into racing and how they’re able to establish trust and find owners or investors to sponsor them.
