Vortech it's not ------- Can't say who it is for obvious reasons.
LG, yes Friday night trots at the Valley.
All I can say is this.
As most of you know, I run a thoroughbred rescue organisation (not for profit), in fact runs at a huge loss, but there are other satisfying benefits.
I've built up a reputation I've worked hard for, with some trainers many stable hands and strappers etc.
It first came to my attention when another trainer mentioned it in passing, however, I just took it as sour grapes perhaps. Then I bumped into some stable hands of the trainer in question by pure accident, and some had left because of it.
Then it was confirmed by yet another party closely associated with the stable, a jockey no less and a few track riders. What they eluded to was so consistent and all the stories were very similar. Some were very worried about being implicated when the story breaks. Others were worried about the welfare of the horses, which is how I came into the whole thing in the first place.
I should say, it's not cruelty or anything of that nature, but certainly not good for the horses and not good for the industry, nor anyone associated with said trainer.
