Cut him some slack guys, he went off to Singapore with high hopes and I imagine he's now looking at the grim prospect of starting again from scratch at what age? Not so young any more, anyway. Don't jump on his head when he's down, you wouldn't like it if someone did it to you.

I'm wishing him all the best and, if he can get up again and start all over, then he's got at least one person's respect - mine.

HIb's speak to anyone who has worked for Basil in the past. Try the grooms,assistant trainers and jockeys. See if anyone is looking for a job with the ex now that he is returning. Hotline was the yards chief patron. I wonder if he will be backing his former trainer.
