Hi lads and lasses its been a while hope other than this **** storm you're all well as can be. I've read all through the comments and I thin its all pretty much been covered.I found the photo quite shocking and sickening myself.
Personally think Elliot should be banned from holding a licence again. I don't feel any sympathy for him he's lived an absolute dream of a life and if he's done something stupid that see's that come to an end, so be it. If some top quality horses fall into the hands of other trainers what a boost for them and their yards. I've always thought most of being a top trainer requires getting the best horses. There are quite a few talented trainers about who'd love and fully deserve to get their hands on a couple of Gordons lot. People who've devoted their lives to racing and looking after horses and would probably never dream of doing something so disrespectful to a dead animal.
People tend to want to be more forgiving for their hero's or the more talented people around. I always found it strange that men would tend to be of the view that all rapists need their balls cutting off but then most men seem to hold Mike Tyson in very high esteem and would try and excuse his crimes or even try and defend his innocence of the rape he was actually convicted of.
So personally id say who gives a **** about Elliot ? I get the impression if this was happening to someone else he'd be the first to be telling the sick jokes or seeing which decent horses he could poach.
I feel sorry for the sport and i feel sorry for all the proper decent racing folk out there who will again come under scrutiny because some arrogant fat prick got too big for his boots thinks he can do what he likes and pissed the wrong person off at some point.
I doubt he'll ever go broke and will probably carry on living a dream of a life and be involved in racing in some capacity even like some have suggested that he wont lose his licence but i wouldn't lose one wink of sleep if i never heard his name mentioned again.
