Another lenient response from the Irish Regulatory Board, this one concerning Rob James. He will have his rider’s licence removed for a year, except that he won't, as eight months (!) will be suspended. Why bother? Couldn't they just write 'Don't do it again. See you next week' ?
A headline in The Guardian published tonight reads as follows:
Gordon Elliot has agreed not to attend racecurses for six months

Yeah, everyone in racing is a bastard alright.

Defensive, deflective, on the back foot. My comment is about another lenient sanction from the IHRB. The hole is getting bigger and the digging is being done by those within the industry.0

Yet he still doesn’t answer any questions posed to him. Get him off the thread.3

ValleyGary said:Yet he still doesn’t answer any questions posed to him. Get him off the thread.He has lost all and any credibility in being able to lecture on morality - a man who claims that an animal's life (non-specific so assume it includes insects) is of no less value than that of a human being. 'No less value' indicates that he believes an animal's life is at least as valuable, so by extrapolation potentially more.But yes, he never answers the tricky questions.5

I answered someone the other day. I didn't have to do so.
Back to censorship now, is it?
A different point of view = get him off the thread. Rattled.
What about the verdict of the IHRB?
Fitting for what occurred? Or another cop out?

I don’t think anyone on here is rattled. You’re renowned for not answering questions put to you so I suppose that leads to frustration and annoyance but rattled - no.Anna_Kissed said:I answered someone the other day. I didn't have to do so.

Most come on this thread to give the odd tip they’ve had or to comment on their enjoyment at having a flutter.
I don’t know any other long running thread on here that was started with the aim of bringing together people who share a common passion, where other posters continually attack it. They just leave them to enjoy writing about their enjoyment, whether it be what they’re watching on tv or where they’re going on holiday.That’s why people get the arse with you.6 -
The IHRB are a complete joke and so are the punishments handed out, infact they are not punishments at all. I'm really disgusted and angry by what's happened and how they have not dealt with it! As for you Anna kissed you never answer anything when it's proven what you have stated is incorrect, like facts you have put up that are wrong, the wrong worded petition you put up and there many questions people have asked you that you haven't answered.4

@Anna_Kissed should be welcome on this thread. Whilst I personally find it odd that he chooses to focus on animal welfare of all the worlds problems to worry about, he has (at times) prompted legitimate discussion. I have owned horses, love the sport with a passion but we must be open to discussion about ways in which it can be 'improved'.
All that aside. I would like to add. I dip in to CharltonLife to escape work, family and anything else that numbs the senses. It is a place to talk football, fun and just take a break from a serious world that is increasingly intend on eating itself. This thread in particular is a favourite. I don't want to discuss animal welfare issues on CharltonLife. If I did I would click on the animal welfare thread (is there one?). So @Anna_Kissed whilst I respect your contribution please consider that I and maybe not just me don't want to hear this stuff. Life is hard brother, we may not all be in the same boat but we sure as hell are all in the same storm.

Face it, while you have every right to your opinion and we may have a lot more in common than you care to admit when it comes to love and care for animals, you are nothing but a wind up merchant and steaming hypocrite.Anna_Kissed said:Defensive, deflective, on the back foot.

Right, I take back what I've said about AK recently. I have absolutely ZERO time for hypocrites. In fact it's almost arrogance - it comes across as if only their questions or points are worthy of response.

I personally think AK should be banned from this thread. I love this thread but he’s kind of winning ( I know it’s not about winning) by taking the thread away from what it’s meant to be. I’m starting to despise him.3

I know it's hard, and I'm as guilty as the next man, but he really should just be ignored.

Perhaps there should be a standard response to any Anna_Kissed post on this thread, which is the row of Zs posted by Bobmunro earlier or a yawn emoji (if one exists).2

I've backed Street Kid in the race, a former Jessica Harrington inmate. Both the trainer, Kevin Philippart De Foy (10 wins from 30 runners) and jockey, Benoit de la Sayette (9 wins from 28 rides) have had amazing starts to their respective careers. They've had 5 wins from 8 runners when the two have teamed up. The 6.6 available on Betfair seemed a fair enough price given those stats albeit the horse has to demonstrate that it has improved for the change in scenery.
Dare I also mention that, in the 12.55, Poetic Force runs again. It's 9/1 and I will continue to back it at that sort of price 'til I fall off the cliff!!!0 -
What's the deal with the poetic force calls? A connection on here?0

In particular I remember back in the 80s a horse called Saratino - trained by Ian Balding who, I had been told in confidence, considered it the best 2 year old he had had since Mill Reef.I backed it the first five times it ran - 0-0-3-0-0 - something like that. I didn't back it the sixth time it ran and his form then read 0-0-3-0-0-1 - and at 33/1 ;-(1 -

This is the War And Peace story to date. Its jockey has just warmed up for this race with a 2nd!Addick Addict said:

Not been declared for Saturday. Not totally surprised, especially if the next run is to be a typical Tony Carroll plot, because Poetic Force's recent wins have been following an absence of three or four weeksAddick Addict said:
It's entered in the Wolverhampton 8.15 on Saturday - a Class 4 race over a slightly further trip. Just raiding the piggy bank to see what I can get together!Addick Addict said:Not a tip but a horse I have been following and that is Poetic Force in the Wolverhampton 6.30.
The gelding is 4 from 7 at Wolverhampton and back down to a decent mark. Would be happier if this wasn't a Class 3 and if PF was stepped back up even further in trip but I am convinced that this is an accident waiting to happen! So, at 12/1 (was 16/1) happy to have an interest today. On the nose too because EW isn't really an option given that it is 7 runners so first two only.
Class 4 - tick
!m 2f - tick
Price: 11/1 - tick
Will to win? - hopefully a tick!!!1 -
