I also have sympathy for Williams. Rural crime police are under-resourced and victims are often frustrated by the lack of protection. However, the man he assaulted was a 72 year old walking a cockerpoo (not exactly the dog of choice for poachers or people with violent intent). That he mistook him for a lamper suggests he was so consumed with rage that he must be considered a danger to society, hence the sentence.
Does Amesbury’s light sentence suggest that some are treated more leniently than others? Of course. There are even more high profile examples who have got away scot free. Disgusting but we all know it to be true.
Unless it’s a really miserable wet summer, if the ground in April isn’t considrred suitable, I doubt we’ll see this horse racing on the turf until October (if then) – and you can forget any talk of the Melbourne Cup!
Thanks for this VF. Fingers crossed for Mr Vango. Great that the others are going home.
Pretty sure Top Of The Bill is Ok. Tired fall at the last but eventually got up and walked back to the stables. Fingers crossed for the others. It does seem that horses injured in the National have a better chance than others (maybe because there’s an excellent equine hospital nearby) so we can at least be sure that every effort will be made to save them, even if they never race again.
This is why we no longer buy the Racing Post. It’s not even true. Young people apparently look to “the gym” to meet prospective partners. That certainly rules me out (as if…).
Well done Mickey. Thanks again to both Raymos for organising this. Even my dismal form didn’t make it any less fun (it’s better than losing money after all!).
and yes, @raymo61, I did notice that!
I think Quai de Bourbon got kicked in the head while on the ground. Hopefully just stunned.
I think that was Quai de Bourbon but he walked into the ambulance so hopefully just stunned.
Couldn’t agree more RTB. I know it’s targeted at casual viewers and I’m fine with that, but it is frustrating for genuine racing fans. The hen party was a new low too.
Thanks for running this Raymos. I hope you appreciate the difficulty of failing to get any points at all over 2 days. Let’s see if I can achieve the hat-trick!
