Why do you think Skelton or Nichols don’t have more horses? Don’t want them or can’t get them?
@PaulKimmage has devolved into a tabloid hack writer Stephen Mahon’s (“the source”) time line in the thread below:
@alanobr93449473 @brucemillington @mp_horseracing @jamierailton @MarkToddracing @dredvers @JulianDollar @howardstown @suesmithracing @osbornejamie @petescu @donaldmccain @AlicePlunkett A neglected young horse found dead in a river yesterday. Not a word about that. No reprimand to the owner responsible yet will try and destroy one of our best horsemen for giving a horse a smack on the bum. Some of these media people are very out of touch.
@leemottershead @RacingPost Lesson number one Do a pre vetting and scope the horse before you bid for him as everyone is perfectly entitled to do !!!!
“Now look who’s going slow!” Watch 2-time Olympic gold medallist show jumper @BenMaher1 & 3-time Champion Flat jockey @oismurphy change tack and test out a different type of horsepower. Both are champions, but who’ll fare best when swapping saddles?

@dgurdasani1 Can you advise when these quarantine measures would finish ? What would allow ireland to finish mandatory hotel quarantine for all ? It’s already been said by ISAG that fully vaccinated people returning a -ve PCR before travel still need MHQ. When would this end ?
@paulmurphy_TD What are your plans for lorry drivers under MHQ? How do you plan to deal with the border with Northern Ireland? How do you plan to compensate the thousands of businesses that will not survive under MHQ?
@killeen_gerry @JulienMercille @ISAGCOVID19 So if NZ has an outbreak(and has no idea where it came from) with little to no accompanied freight, statistically how often would Ireland, with 6k RoRo drivers a week, need further lockdown if implementing zero COVID?
I wrote a tweet yesterday stating that #ZeroCovid "is not compatible with the individual rights and freedoms that characterise postwar democracies". My point was apparently largely misunderstood. Thus, I wish to clarify in this thread what I meant. 1/ x.com/ballouxfrancoi…

A new video here on #ZeroCOVID. The promise is for an end to "yo-yo" lockdowns. But there's a good chance we end up with more of them 😲
@MarkPaulTimes Especially if you're an academic and you've put your credibility on the line. Probably the worst thing that could happen for the ISAG is that the government implement the policy, because it would fail, and for all the reasons that have been clearly pointed out to them.
WINNER!!! Stone Soldier grits his teeth and sticks his neck out to back up last weeks romp at @Southwell_Races, this time over 1m and under 10st 1lb! He’s now 2/2 for @Archie_Watson after an all-action ride from @Luke_Morris88. Well done all!

@alanobr93449473 @RBDMcr @homework_jean Take out the Festival and them Irish trainers have won better UK races than the UK based trainers.
Gordon Elliott wins the Stayers’ and they ask him for a word on Paisley Park
@alanobr93449473 @Goonersean10 @PDBloodstock @RacingPost Definitely. Too much racing, too many soft options, all too unattractive. Lots of reforms needed!
@alanobr93449473 @trainerup1 @Nicola94542280 @homework_jean Well done everyone for dealing with opposing views with intelligence and comprehension. The use of a whip on tired horses- needs frequent highlighting. Hurling horses at immovable objects-needs frequent highlighting. Hopefully all will be resolved.
@alanobr93449473 @Deanoh999 @RacingTV @MartinPBSmith @RishiPersad1 @ABE_Dubai Can see the argument 👍
@KatyMowat @DizzyJB If UK racing "engages" deeper with @RSPCA_official jump racing will be extinct within 20 years or so. Is that acceptable? As you say, this is a litigious org which relies (for its declining portion of the charity income pie) on rabble-rousing negativity. It is death by 1000 cuts.
@dermonolan91 @carlhinchy Tbf plenty out there in the industry have their heads in the sand about certain issues in the sport as you said Carl makes them uncomfortable knowing these things are happening, did kimmage mention in the doping articles his source was caught with high levels of cobolt
I apologise to the Currie team and especially owners my mistake of misjudging the winning post tonight cost them the race, it was a brain explosion by me and I’ll learn from it sorry again
@RacingPost @DavidJenningsRP At the end of the day, it was a stupid thing to do but he's held his hands up and there was luckily no serious impact for any other horse or rider. He's got a ban, that should be the end of it.
@michaelsrwilson @rosscojmill @67_Chris_ @TomWilsonHorses @keenelandsales Another not so nefarious reason: finding the time to get videos done in the short window where yrlgs are sale ready. The pros doing the videos are v busy & it takes a long time to get all the footage they need, weather needs to cooperate, & prep, blacksmith, X-rays still going on

🎙️ Weighed-In 🗣️ @V_Binnie_Ryle steps in for @hughcahill7 this week as she @tony_calvin & @kevinblake2011 discuss 📝 The final word on Paul Kimmage 🔭 ‘Footsteps To The Festival' continues ➕ Plus lots more
@tony_calvin Kimmage has so little to produce all he can do is point out the podcasts criticisms and try and make a story out of it. What a bluffer.. ye really got under his skin show is proving its worth 😀..hope treatment going OK TC.
I'd have been a fan of Kimmage, but he comes off looking terrible here. He mentions 3 months spent checking out the 'facts' but yet doesn't mention any other source to back up Mahon, who if he told me the time, I'd ask Pinocchio for a second opinion.
That's tomorrow's Weighed In intro sorted. Tune in....;
The more Kimmage quotes Mahon as a source the less credible he becomes. And Bolger funked it when it came to providing any evidence. I’m sure there is doping in racing but all we’re getting here is ill-informed speculation.

Some good news as Castlebridge team member “Stas” Datskiv gets his daughter and young grandson out of Ukraine after a difficult journey and safely into Ireland last night.
