Absolutely disgusting , nobody "without thinking" accidentally sits on a dead horse to take a phone call !
Callous swine .

And you wouldn't sit across it cross legged smiling making a sign with your fingers either
Have had horses all our life's and have lost a few over the years. The devastaton when it happened is still raw. Its something you have to deal with getting rid of the animal and that. And that is not pretty . How a man who makes a living out of horses can mock them like this is scandalous. Few other stories about his behaviour in other things would not paint him in a good light either.
I think the picture says it all , he has no feelings or respect for the animals or their owners , to him it's just business !
Let's hope all his owners vote with their feet

Think he's going to struggle to recover from this.
If O'Leary pulls his horses out he's finished.

I‘m glad I haven’t seen the photo, I wouldn’t look anyway, it would scar me for life.
He has to be finished
O leary is finishing up as an owner soon enough. He was preparing for that with likes of Cheveley Park and the morans. Now that will prove impossible I think

Wouldn’t surprise me if the horse was ran so much it had the heart attack.
Elliot sits on it for the photo to send the owner and an insurance claim was put in to recoup some money on the animal.
No one sits on a horse that’s just died moments earlier unless it’s intentional.
Only my opinion like..
Whoever took the photo and captioned needs to be outed too .
Most insurance on horses only covers death on the track . It will be interesting to see who owned it and their reaction.

And the moron stood to the left only just in shot.
Get them all out of the sport for good.
Sick sick people.
I’m also finding it slightly galling that non of the prominent horse racing journos and presenters are condemning this grotesque act... they’ve probably all been told to stay quiet but that doesn’t wash with me I’m afraid. Staying quiet is almost as bad as the act itself!

Mick Fitz on Sky Racing almost in tears as he reiterates the point about how well cared for racehorses are and how important it is people know that.
He didn’t comment on Elliot whatsoever. Again a failure to condemn what we’ve all seen and Elliott himself has admitted... what is wrong with these people!

"I was standing over the horse waiting to help with the removal of the body, in the course of which, to my memory I received a call and, without thinking, I sat down to take it. Hearing a shout from one of my team, I gestured to wait until I was finished."
I've not seen the picture and don't know the trainer's physical condition but in general who feels the need to sit down to take a mobile phone call?
If the apparently callous attitude is par for the course at a top trainer's stable who claims the welfare of the animals is paramount then I dread to think what those in the industry to make money are like.

Callous, I follow horse racing more than any other sport these days and it just doesn't surprise me seeing and hearing about this stuff anymore. Makes it hard to defend the sport to the animal rights groups.
