That oul’ sleeveless red pullover owes Nicky nothing.
He’s had it off and on since the days of Binocular and Sprinter Sacre.

A lovely story here about Cape Gentleman being retired to the US after injury yesterday to live out his life on his owners farm in South Carolina. @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy and @ChairmanDan must’ve been waiting till tomorrow to post about it
Gucci needs to get himself to Turkey and get a reseeding job done.
Is he the horse racing equivalent of Buff Egan?
I don’t read attheraces.com or indeed very much to do with horse racing so that feel good horse racing horse survivor story would have passed me by.

Kevin Blake looks exactly as how I would imagine a jockey/someone in the horse racing industry to look like.He comes across as a bit of a wanker.
He isn’t a jockey.
He looks like one and is as narky as one.
That’s a woefully weak argument he is making there, if he thinks that is the highlight from his conversation it must have been fairly dismal. Surely the multi-millionaire owners and trainers, who love these horses so dearly, wouldn’t just turn them free to kill each other?
You think the owners would be able to look after them? Lol
You’d need land and staff. Essentially a lot of bank to mind a race horse.
Nobody would be able to afford to pay staff. They can barely afford to do it with racing.
He is correct. Way more horses would die and it would lead to the extinction of the breed.
Maybe breed less and less and less until there is a controllable population of race horses. I wonder would many horsey folk support bull “fighting”.
I don’t think it solves the initial problem of what do you do with the race horses now. If they aren’t in training a portion of them would be incredibly dangerous left loose.
What do they do with retired racehorses? Some of the arguments being made to support racing are woefully stupid. On Saturday they were explaining that half tonne of animal on incredibly spindly legs will inevitably get injured - neglecting to acknowledge that they have been bred this way for racing purposes.
Already you off gone off on a tangent.
You said the owners and trainers could look after them.
They couldn’t. They would be dead within days.
