The Gordon Elliott Photo Thread

Don’t know actually.

 

Also, if it came from this source, how did she get hold of the photo? If she took it then she surely needs looking into for this.


In other news Gordon statement today basically states that he’s going to be around to help train the horses. Showing once again that it’s just lip service by the IHRB and sod all will change.

 

Not according to his statement earlier today.

 

He’s reissued it since without the last line

 

You've gotta be kidding!

 

You've gotta be kidding!

 

Well it has shocked Stick that much he posted it twice!
If true then what a shambles. In the fast paced low attention span world we now live it will be quickly forgetton anyways imo.

 

I think we can rule out that last one

 

You mean posted with your wife looking over your shoulder?

 

If the ban does extend to the whole yard it is irrelevant if his house is there - as I mentioned a few days ago, when Karl Burke was banned a few years ago he had to move out of the family home and rent a separate property while his wife took over the licence.

BHA bans usually cover all licensed premises, so that means all training yards and all racecourses, but I don’t know how far the IHRB bans extend. Of course it would only be natural that Denise might want to phone Gordon to discuss a particular horse’s usual routine, etc and I would hope that the original statement was a clumsy attempt to reflect this.

 

Good to see you post again mate. Hope you're well

 

It was the owner of Labaik who released it. Criminal Assets Bureau took him for over a million. He wanted to sell Labaik after he won Supreme for 400k+ to go towards this bill. GE who had a 5% share in the horse ran it at Punchestown without asking him. Labaik got injured and wasnt worth nearly as much. The gangster wasnt happy.

 

I see the IHRB have just shot the piano player. Now they only need the postman.

They need Arnott and Hastings on the job but they are probably busy.
