mccain

he deserves it putting up the likes of harding

horse should have won easy. waving reigns, wandering about

cannot train a horse

100% correct

So it's the jockey's fault but the last line is "cannot train a horse."

He is sure to have targeted the first race at Bangor today, a race in memory of his father.

judgement day at bangor today with 8 runners.

Not the best start for him ashleigh

short fav unplaced

Will soon have no owners left, horses are running terrible and nobody is going to pay him what he is offering ! Goodbye Donald - your 15 minutes of fame are up !

I thought there has been a few flickers of life in the last few days

RUK guest fancies mccains next race

views like that normally get severely punished

Considering what he has already achieved in the sport, I think it amounts to a bit more than 15 minutes.

katachenko close at donny.

I don't get all the animosity towards McCain. Has he played around with your wives?

thing is there is a lovely big pink button for a reason

if wayne rooney left man utd and started playing for peterborough,you,d not think it was a topic worth debating,mcain,s fall from near the top is of similar stature

gave up backing anything  donald trains a long time ago.i as I've said before , if he has a winner it must  have trained itself

Would be fitting if The Last Samari found a leg here and bolted up

PS im on. New stable/new horse?

Almost

His one really should be winning the 3.15 at Newcastle....but can he be trusted to have the horse spot on for the race?

Was backed like it was a world beater at Aintree WP

at 2/1 I aint finding out...baby bach for me w+p

stopped very quickly.

Been a cash  cow today if you are a layer, WD wonder

No surprise how it ran. Not backed one from his stable in a very long time and won't be in the near future. Gone at the game.

any race where DM has got a 2/1 poke there is a normally sh1tloads of value kicking about

That was beyond a joke

backing his one in the last at bangor

Superfection beaten in 3 place market at around 2.3. 

good bet sparrow wd

Basically ran the yard at Bangor today.  Woeful.  The chickens are roosting.

Very loyal of the Leslie's to keep with him...that last one at Newcastle cost a bit of money...they must be having some thoughts on the matter

Unfortunately I never did the bet, wondersobright.

Exactly and it just seems some people seem to relish and gain some twisted kind of enjoyment in kicking others when they are down.

I suppose if it makes them feel a little less inadequate about themselves though, it must serve a purpose I suppose.

I don't think it's a question of kicking a man while he's down. It's more a question of trying to fathom what's gone wrong, how long the slump will last, how much worse will it get and what will trigger a recovery in McCain's fortunes.

Most trainers experience periodic ups and downs but McCain was riding high not so long ago and with Tim Leslie and the Rooneys on board there was talk of him pressing Nicholls and Chemical Nicky for the trainers title. The extent and duration of the McCain slump is the trigger for so much debate on the subject on the forum.

The reason for the downturn is the horses are 5hite. Look at tomorrows 2:20 at Carlisle. He runs a nag called Freddies Portrait.


Freddies Portrait wouldn't be allowed within 50k of any half decent stable. His stable is loaded with these D rate P2Pers

That horse isn't all that bad. It's a staying chaser on pedigree and some of his point form reads OK.
I doubt it will win tomorrow though.

Great post by Cash is king. I actually like Don, he's always come across as a decent chap. Its just baffling the decline of his stable and how he now struggles to win even egg & spoon races with what look like promising horses? For example that horse in the last at Newcastle looked a horse with massive potential and it simply went out like a light bulb being switched off. If I owned that horse I'b be absolutely livid with that display!

I cannot believe that it is entirely the horses.  Every one of them fades in the final stages of a race these days, although I admit he does run a lot from the front.  Rooneys' are running better for their new trainers but I don't think many of them have been ex McCain's, so perhaps there is something wrong.
