    It's one of the top tests for 2year olds run over 6 furlongs at the york Ebor festival named after the prolific winner Gimcrack.

    Horses like Royal Applaue Mill Reef and Rock of Gibralter have won it in the past

    Mmm, the evidence from the fence attendant guy sounded pretty convincing, much more so than the wishy-washy stuff pouring out of the weighing room. Hope they can live with their consciences.

    No doubt about it barjon the weighing room is a tight knit community and they rarely turn against each other.

    Just about everything goes and the attitude is defo if you cant stand the heat...bla bla bal

    I've seen first hand 6 or 7 jockeys having a go at one guy for fun but the next day he would be one of the 6 or 7 sticking it to someone else.

    What else would you expect from men who wear womens tights in the winter

    As I wasn't there I have no idea what to think to be honest other than I don't think it should have gone as far as it has and Dunne seems to come across as a bit of a dick.
    Sounds like Mr. Dunne invited Ms Frost to come across his bit of a dick.

    I'm really surprised you don't remember him he won the Gimcrack a few years later and was on the go for years.

    Despite his bad rep re drink he was like the **** of the north with Yorkshire based trainers,

    Mind you grassy I never knew Ryan Moore was Goerge Moores son and Joshua and Jamie was his brothers until a few months ago.
    Gary Moore. Hayley Moore dating Tom Queally apparently. Think P Mullins punching above his weight with B if that's true.

    If I were Hayley Moore's father I'd be worried.

    If you can't trust Queally to ride a horse...

    From the Racing Post.

    Valets who gave evidence at Robbie Dunne’s disciplinary hearing last week allegedly refused to work for Bryony Frost at Fontwell on Tuesday, believing they were portrayed as accepting “bullying behaviour” in the weighing room.

    Graham Piper, his nephew Lewis Piper and Mark Sinfield spoke last week during Dunne’s hearing into charges of prejudicial conduct and violent and threatening behaviour towards Frost between February and September last year.
    Dunne denies all charges of prejudicial behaviour and two of the three charges of violent and threatening behaviour.
    All three valets had been working at Southwell on September 3 when Dunne is alleged to have told Frost he “promised” to hurt her and that he was going to “put her through a wing”, an incident Graham Piper described as “bickering” and that Frost was “not upset or tearful”.
    Lewis Piper drew attention to Frost remaining in the male changing room after the altercation, adding that “if she was distressed surely she would have gone to her own room and hid away?”.
    Chris Maude, a valet employing all three men, appeared at the hearing on Tuesday and was asked by Louis Weston, representing the BHA, whether he knew his employees had refused to work for Frost at Fontwell.
    “I did,” Maude said. “They're rather upset that it's been thought, and that it's been put in the press, that they condone any sort of bullying behaviour.
    “I think they're very upset that their names were in the press and they found the whole thing quite harrowing to be honest, so they said they would rather not work for her today.”

    "They're rather upset that it's been thought that they condoned bullying"

    So they thought that the best course of action was to remove any doubt.

    They have refused to carry out the duties they are employed to carry out, sack them. Seems fairly forward to me.

    They're not coming out of this at all well.

    No need to sack them but any jockey worth their salt should refuse to employ them.
