howfin Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Ive seen the photo now and doesnt change my opinion on it. You really think one of the all time great horse trainers has a thing against horses? Come on. Even if the photo was taking the piss, its a momentary lapse in judgement. Or the fat bastard just needed a break. Sure you can say he should of known better being in his position but lets face it, this photo getting out its obviously a malicious act due to a falling out with the person in posession of said photo. Its more a lesson in human weaknesses than anything else, not a news story in my eye. Move along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right of course, you never know what goes on behind closed doors, normal person or celeb. Its a rather different story though to bring up pedophilia against someone sitting on a dead horse. Id imagine most people out there who are being appauled online regarding this will sit down to a chicken dinner and not give a fuck about how that chicken ended up on their table. Regardless yes the photo is a bad image for the guy, he should have known better but should it get him banned from racing for one minor indescretion, not in my book.

Who was that bastard that starved his horses and left them unattended? ex footballer I think. Prick ended up getting his license back.

MrUKHackz Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Racing TV and Betfair have immediately dropped him and want nothing to do with the idiot, well done for setting the bar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah ive seen that mate. Unfortunatley though its not necessarily becuase the dont agree with what he has done; more an arse covering move as they dont want to be associated with the negative incoming storm. Whether people agree with what he has done or not, it will damage the sport. Its a big shining beacon for any sort of group like the animal liberation front etc. to persue aggresivley (and they will). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB91 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 But at the end of the day, that’s some fudger’s horse, probably someone who is paying him a lot of money, and it’s extremely disrespectful. Assuming it was someone else‘s horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaydublin11 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 You can't expect any values from any businesses owned by Michael O' Leary , all he cares about is . He loves controversies for some reasons , who in the right mind would say things like " fat monsters need to buy two plane tickets " .

Douvan Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 It's a shame that someone held on to that photo and used it when it suited them the most. I don't condone what Elliott did, far from it but the other person is despicable also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
