A belated Happy New Year to you Pet and thank you for the poty nom, much appreciated.

So many great memories linked with those famous silks and always impressed with the loyalty and support the Prince displayed towards Henry Cecil when times were tough at Warren Place.

Some background about his life and Juddmonte operation you may find interesting.

Big loss to the racing world. RIP.

Sad news. I heard he hadn’t been at a racecourse for a decent amount of time, so assumed he’s been ill.

Horrendous and indefensible.
He should get a 6 month ban.

Interesting someone has surfaced this photo just before Cheltenham where Elliot will have many horses with a chance of winning.
Impeccable timing ,wonder if blackmail is involved.

Horrendously disrespectful to a beautiful animal; considering these animals have made his worth, gross

I assume he didn't make this available and someone has gone to the press.
He may well lose everything because of his stupidity .
Owners are not going to trust them with their horses.

Have you seen the photo? He definitely wanted someone to see it, but I imagine not so public a setting

Tweets coming in on Twitter about general abuse at horse stables.
Matter of time before Mickey Quinn gets a mention.

What would you do?






Apparently the fellow has been offered £275,000 by the bookie.

Ol’ Pet would take it...even though he thinks Envoi Allen will win :)
