    Controversial, but Clive Smith moving Kauto Star out of the stable of Paul Nicholls. Yes he owns the horse but its a huge let-down for everyone associated with the horse at Ditcheat

    I’d like to nominate Paul Nicholls for the way he spat his dummy out when Clive Smith decided on what he thought was best for his much loved horse.

    A late bid for this title from

    Frankie Dettori

    for his ‘contribution’ to the drug culture.

    Forget his name but the person who axed Derek Thompson from Channel 4 without even asking about his cancer condition.

    Animal Aid + RSPCA + Daily Mail

    For their poorly-researched and ignorant attacks on the Grand National and their efforts to destroy racing under the guise of ‘animal welfare’.

    The name’s Jamie Aitchison and I second this nomination.

    Channel 4, not only for the way they handled the axeings, but for who they got rid of………and also for who they brought in :roll: . Poor all round.

    Seconded.

    All three worthy "winners" TYF, excellent nominations.

    If the name "RSPCA" got the vote, it might make them think an important animal loving group ("Racing") is turning against them.

    Pigs might fly!

    Now that really would be cruel. :lol:

    I too go along with

    Animal Aid

    and the

    RSPCA

    , the latter not only for horse welfare but it’s terrible reputation for monitoring the welfare of animals kept and farmed for so called ‘freedom foods’ sold in our supermarket.

    It is not a "charity" Triptych, they were denied charity status. They’re a "limited company".

    Thanks Ginger :oops: I didn’t know that I have changed and edited my nomination slightly and included the RSPCA too.

    Has anyone mentioned ARC (formerly Arena/Northern) for their closure of Hereford & Folkestone?
