Happy does not live up to his name when he comments;-
"If all you can do is look for negatives I suggest you follow another sport. I can’t imagine myself getting up every morning thinking ‘ I hate racing but I will keep an eye on it and get frustrated for the rest of the day’. Makes no sense. You come out with accusations but do not say who you are acting on behalf of. ClareF did the same , but when pushed she has decided to disappear. You are fully entitled to your opinion, but that is all it is, I have given an answer to the original post which is fact, and checkable. You should do the same."
I am not you, thank God.
Look at my posts on this forum and you will see that they are not all negative.
What is all these accusations that I am acting on behalf of Clare or an email accusing me of being Dene. What are so many of you paranoid?
I belong to no animal charity, I doubt I have every met Clare and if my name had been dene I would have changed it by deed poll as soon as I was of age to do so.
My father had a saying "The truth always hurts" by the attitude of some on here, it looks as if the old soul was right,
Because I agree not with Clare but with the facts she has put on this thread I received an email suggesting I am someone else.
I was Christened "Thomas" and "Thomas" I am.
As I have mentioned before I came into horse racing almost 50 years ago and as far as betting is concerned I did well in a small way. But as time went on I became more and more concerned for the welfare of the horse. Is that wrong?
I also became concerned about the sport being Judge and Jury as far as regulation is concerned and decided to stop[ betting, but apart from a five year break in paying too much attention to the sport, I came back, not to bet but to monitor racehorse welfare and the punitive self regulation of the sport.
The sport which has sold its should for quantity not quality.
I hope that answers the email I received from a certain party.
Why I wonder?
Did she not nearly amass the same number of winners that Ian Semple managed the year before?
I thought Mr Semple the year before had decided to call it a day and enjoy retirement.
Why the return of Mr Semple and not a new trainer found?
From ‘happy’ who does not seem ‘happy’ that his beloved sport is put under the microscope.
<quote>If you go back through the topic you will see that I have questioned her motives </quote>
"Her motives"
Try and be a little more polite.
"Clare’s motives"
I think that Clare’s motive’s were to present the fact as they really are. What has she said that id not fact.
Maybe we should be more concerned about your motives?
As for improving the situation. First all those connected with racing have to admit there is a problem.
The interview of the BHA on TV on this matter was unbelievable, pathetic.
The BHA is like a ship floating on the high seas after the crew have gone overboard.
Happy – of course his thread started on a negative theme – it is discussing a negative situation.
Moehat – "education" ? This is 2009. Owners are not school children.
Excuse after excuse.
One would think that those who have the money to own a racehorse would also have some comon sense and compassion but that is not always the case.
At the moment her horses are strugling to get out of last place.
What was the real reason for her moving out and Mr Semple moving back into Belstane Stables?
A racehorse is not just a key to open the doors to socialize at a racecourse.
A racecourse should be for life.
King Barry was not on the list but these stats only tell of horses put down on the course.
I saw the incident and feel that a mountain is being made out of a molehill.
Ok, a race was delayed 15-minutes, it is not the end of the world.
When dealing with highly strung animals one has to expect situations to emerge from time to time.
