    The rebuilding of Gordon's profile should beging with a Social media drive of horses working on the gallops, pictures of the countryside and a blog

    Do Betfair have a book up on who they get to replace his old blog?
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Stable lads/lasses and grooms are so often overlooked

    The IHRB has confirmed that a referrals hearing will take place after the conclusion of another investigation into who took the controversial photo of Elliott in 2019. No date has yet been set for that.

    That has actually made my Cheltenham. So want him to win now so she can lead him in! I have to admit to shedding a few tears when I first heard about it but I am prone to that sort of thing. It’s the racing I know and love.

    Henry always comes across as a thoroughly likeable man and this only enforces that opinion.

    It's a shame it's down to unfortunate circumstances but I really hope he makes the most of recent additions to his team and goes on from it.

    I'm in general a cynical old bas*ard and maybe thats at play here but when I saw all the social media praise for HDB etc I couldn't help but feel that it wasn't as much an act of kindness but more a case of taking as many measures possible to ensure that the horse has some sense of normality and that it was more a means to an end than some grand gesture.

    But as I say I am a cynical bas*ard!!

    It's just making it harder on the poor girl. She needs to unfriend Envoi Allen on Facebook and move on with her life. There will be other horses.

    Be interesting to see if she’s allowed to go racing - I presume he could apply for a temporary stable pass for her?
    I already hoped he would win, but even more now. Though fairly gutting for whoever is doing him now
