GORDON

Fair play to them .

The IHRB would have dithered and sat on their asses forever.

Have to deal with it now.

This is not just about a picture ,

Its the whole image and integrity of the sport at stake now.

They have to act and act big imo.

The BHA should mind they own business and not sticking they head into Irish affairs.They dont be to quick dealing with some of they own affairs.

he has horses entered for Cheltenham, thus it also becomes the BHAs business obv

...state of Irish racing right now, it's the Irish who should be minding their own business cos it's abundantly clear there's a lot of bad business to mind

I wouldn"t say that duncan about Irish racing.It wouldn"t stop me from having a bet or going to the racing in Ireland when ever we are aloud back.I sooner have a bet on Irish racing then any where else.

wasn't really coming from a betting angle, cloone...i bet on the Irish racing the same as the British and always love going racing there too...nevertheless, seems to be never-ending stream of issues for the administrators over there right now

The IHRB not meeting until Friday.

FFS ,  what planet are these guys on.

Like the FAI the government should step in now and disband this incompetent shower of cretins.

One balls up after another with them.

Nothing much being said about the guy who took the photo and held on to it over a long period of time to use it against Gordon, hes going to lose owners so many of Gordons staff will be laid off, I believe a great bunch of lads as well.  Sad state of affairs.

Did it name what horse it was?The person who took the picture should be question and why he or she started to share it now.You swear Gordon was after killing the horse with all the rubbish thats being talked about it.Good to hear from the owner of the horse to see what he thinks of it all.

Cheveley Park have pulled theirs out. Envoi Allen gone to Henry's. Sir Gerhard gone to WP.

The name of the horse was Morgen. He won 4 races out of 21 runs.

Not much loyalty with cheveley park.Good to see gigginstown standing by him seeing it was one of they horses.

Delighted to hear Philip Reynolds ( son of Albert) on radio this morning speaking with great sense and moderation and saying he was keeping his horses in the yard.

Probably didn't want to go changing yards again.
didn't show such loyalty to pat Kelly.

Not so sure that we will hear the outcome of the hearing today, started at 9.30 this morning just 4 00. now,

12 month ban, with the last 6 suspended. Seems fair to me, although many others might think he deserved more.

I think it was fair myself Monarch, I hope it doesnt effect his staff to badly.

I think it was fair too frank and I was livid during the week.

I was delighted the industry faced it head on and didn't try brush it under the carpet.

The one negative I did hear was an effort to warn of the dangers of mobile phones rather than than the opposite view and embrace them saying thankfully now with mobile's we can weed out this behaviour for good.

Anyway hopefully it's done and dusted now so let's move on .

Stupid, but everyone makes mistakes, so forgive and lessons learned.

Now for Galvin to dot up in the Nat hunt chase on the Tuesday

Bob and co in the foxhunters is one i like, around 5s at the min ,think it will go off around 7/2,
