As an owner of a group 1 winning Weir horse, (vote for Amphitrite click here) I'm pretty pissed off and wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. I suspected he was betting and he was doing at the expense of his owners, but allegations are out there of drugs and we know he used jiggers, it pisses me off because I love horses. People say owners are greedy and rich blah blah blah, I ain't rich and I had 6 very slow horses before i was lucky to get a good one. Even then i own 2.5%
But all the rumours and innuendo have almost put a cloud over her victory in my mind and she now has to come out and start winning for another trainer to be vindicated as a star horse. The rumour about the jiggers seems to be that horses that were under performing were put on the treadmill wearing blinkers, then shocked and then on raceday, the blinkers went on and they went like a rocket. If that is true it leaves my horse in the clear as she has never worn blinkers or any other gear. Some idiots on twitter were saying that cocaine may have been used on the horse, I seriously doubt the cock was for the horses, and if it was used it would pep up a horse. Amphitrite is the most relaxed horse you will ever see, Craig commented after the guineas, I thought she was asleep waiting to be loaded into the gates.
Anyway, this has been 1 hell of a frustrating week.
