    Mark Todd being given a nice time by a few on here. The double standards is fairly unbelievable but I guess hitting a live animal who can feel pain is worst than having a breather while waiting 45 minutes for a vehicle to come and take a dead animal you once cared for away. Maybe having the word "Sir' before your name allows these slight things to be overlooked.

    Morning, team.

    Sadly, the horse that I mentioned for Saturday hasn't been declared by Hendo, this morn, so I will hang onto that promised thread for a little while (it's only really applicable just before he next races). However, at the same Ascot meet, which may be weather dependent, I see that the 7YO gelding Christopher Wood debuts for Venetia Williams having transferred from the yard of Mr Nicholls. Quiz question. Why might this move be described as 'Ikne Alay'??? A bonus point will be awarded for the first correct answer.

    Good luck all.

    I’ve been vocal about this on Twitter. Thankfully they’ve suspended his license.

    It is worse than GE but both are idiotic and deserve punishment.

    The fact racing people have defended his actions says it all for me. People are stuck in their ways and beliefs and don’t see a bigger picture.

    If anyone wondered what the answer was (unlikely I know but just 'tiding' up) the transfer of Christopher Wood from Mr Nicholls to Venetia Williams was Yala Enki in reverse - hence ikne alay!

    Yala Enki moved from the yard of VW to PN, in a high profile switch, back in '19.
