Full, honest, timely announcements should keep everyone happy. I don't see any reason that a trainerwould have for keeping the truth out of the public domain. Or is that naive?https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30431351/al-ferof-drift?post_id=543502173#543502173Yep.

They obviously knew he was very doubtful last week but kept quiet.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30431351/al-ferof-drift?post_id=543501947#543501947If it was just a minor issue he wouldn't have drifted so.

It'd be different if he'd said he was in good form at home, or he was working well.I'm all for transparency, but he did say it was a minor problem.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30431351/al-ferof-drift?post_id=543501227#543501227I'm not saying he's innocent in all this, but I think he's being judged a bit harshly on this thread.

People knew about the horses issue and took advantage (I spot the drift but didn't join in) of us hard working punters! Not good.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30431351/al-ferof-drift?post_id=543501079#543501079WELLCHIEF I usually agree with u but in this case I'm with tomdeane.
