    We are truly horrified and dismayed by the photograph doing the rounds on social media however, we will await the official outcome of the investigation by the IHRB, which we trust will be swift, before making any further comment/decisions.

    But if this is #3 in a series of items 'out there', can it really be labelled a one-off?

    Who trains the horse is irrelevant. You might as well say that a horse cant run as a jockey is banned. Ideally youd have the best man putting the final touches on the prep but that's not going to happen.

    Numbers 1 and 2 may not be horse-related.

    That's as good as saying that they are out of there. The Moran's will be next to go. If he survives it is going to be a very costly one and hard to see him ever recovering to reach his current status. The Gigginstown support is I am sure welcome but its a short term boost considering their phased withdrawal from the game.

    non work, extra cirricular other matters

    Let's not paint Gordon as an innocent victim but he is being targetted purposely
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    And Joe Duffy just compared GE to rioters who attacked Gardai (police) on Saturday!

    This is getting ridiculous. In my opinion it's not even a welfare issue. There is no suggestion that he actually harmed a horse in his care.

    Kinda irrelevant though. The reaction, genuine for some, and over-the-top from others, is what was going to doing the damage.

    Horse in question looks to have been called ‘Morgan’. Nothing confirmed though. Owned by Gigginstown.

    BHA to consider their own ramifications. Could it be they judt stop his horses coming over? This whole thing stinks. Gordon certainly has some enemies in the game.

    Elliott didn’t harm the horse himself, we know that, but it looks like he couldn’t give a fukc that the horse has died; and he does look as though he has indeed killed the horse, in his game hunter pose. Why would anyone who loves animals and is concerned for their welfare pose for a sick photo like that? Two reasons: you’re incredibly dense; or you don’t actually give a fukc about the horses in your care.

    Nice of Tracy Piggott to ring in and try to bury Gordon. Lydia did not know how lucky she was to get out of this programme with her wits intact.

    To non Irish - Joe Duffy is for thicks, hosted by a thick and no educated opinion will be listened to

    It is one of the last legacies of old catholic Ireland still with us

    Yup.

    Some of the responses are fukcing lame.
    All comers, all grounds, all beaten!

    This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.

    No doubt that it's extremely offensive, careless and very stupid. However, I think it would be a stretch use it as evidence that he does not care for the welfare of his horses. I hate to be defending the man in these circumstances because it was a disgusting thing to do. The picture evokes strong emotions, but ultimately I just think it looks worse than it actually is.

    @DavidMenuisier

    This individual who got caught posing on top of a dead horse isn’t a disgrace to Racing, he is merely a disgrace. Disgrace to himself, his entourage and more generally the Human race. It is irrelevant he is a racehorse trainer, I find him to be more rightly an insult to Humanity.

    In fairness, as a woman who was previously engaged to a man convicted of animal cruelty, you have to admire the neck on her
