...yep just reading that. I actually think some folk will be content because they were starting to dominate races, can’t recall how many darts he threw at the Grand National. Controversial character as well. Saying that, he poured a lot of money into the game.

Yep, was thinking similar myself. 11 in the National was it? Not sure.
Good and bad but maybe other smaller owners will get a chance of winning now

...yep. Sounds like he’ll not be investing in new purchases, it’ll depend on how quickly he wants to sell what he owns. Big change for Gordon Elliott.

York 13:50pm - Corgi currently at 7/1 on SkyBet.

Been told its got a great chance, they are expecting him to win. Might be worth a little punt for anyone interested.

....it’s just a bit of fun as long as we don’t go mad backing them.

Too true, last of the big spenders me. Anything over a couple of quid and I come out in the sweats.

Ran a really good race. Another 100 yards and I think it would've won as it was closing all the time.

3rd.
Decent run.
No chance with the first 2 home though.

yep just gave himself too much to do. Like you say another 100 yards and would have been his

I think that he'll definitely be worth following next time out.

 

[harris78]

yeah they have high hopes for him, i don't know a great deal, only a little bit that my mate tells me who drinks near and around Newmarket race course with a few of the guys from the stables and race course....hopefully i get the info he hears when sober! Don't often pass on as you never know, Corgi he seemed pretty certain of though

...I actually backed the winner myself first thing this morning and had it in an e/w double with the horse that came 3rd in the next. Thanks for the whisper anyway.

I thought there was sommat strange when he sold Road To Respect and Don Poli, two very good chasers, at the Grand National sale, just two days before the big race and both holding entries.

I think Gordon will be okay in the long run....he got the gig because of his outstanding training ability and as we have seen with Willie Mullins when O’Leary took his horses away, there is life after Gigginstown.

Henry De Bromhead trains a lot of Gigginstown horses as well.

Big blow for Jack Kennedy as well.....he is an excellent young jockey but I have no doubt he will get another big job in time, possibky over here in England.

Sad news indeed.

But at least one good thing should come out of it.....O’Leary will have to let Tiger Roll go for the treble now
