Shocking to see the the suited "gent" incharge of the saddling area boxes at Chepstow yesterday punching a horse in the head not once but twice after taking the horse back into the last horse box to rearrange the bridle after he spotted a problem with the tack as the horse was being led out after Alan King had saddled the horse
The horse was lead out of it's box and connections and Alan King left to go to the parade ring the Suited "gent" then noticed something wrong with the bride and took the horse into the last box and tried to adjust the bridle before striking the horse who was being held by the person leading up the horse , who then made their way to the parade ring while the "suited gent" just stayed hanging around the last box. he could have been connected to the stable but he looked to be just patrolling the area as i left to go and watch the race

The person in question is very likely to be Alan King's traveling head lad. Only the trainer or his assistants would interfere with a horses tack.
The ramifications should anything go wrong would be beyond the maximum liability that a racecourse could afford.

You could be right ,i watched Alan King saddle the horse the lass started to walk the horse towards the parade ring the "suited gent " a tall slim man reached out and tried to adjust the tack he then told the lass leading the horse to go into the last box before the pre parade ring where he punched the horse twice in the head before adjusting the headgear , she made her way to the parade ring he just hung around the last box and was hanging around the same area after the next race.
