Justin Snaith-"I get threatened regularly"

Below is a snippet from this weeks sportingpost profile

Very interesting reading


There are definite darker sides to racing and that seem to come with success. I get threatened regularly, but it’s part of the job and I accept that it comes with the territory. You can’t let it get to you. I’ve been doing this ever since I was a kid and it’s second nature to me now. I think it’s what makes me a better trainer – whatever is thrown at me, I can deal with it. Anyone can train a horse, it’s what you do when the wheels fall off – that’s the difference between being good and being great. Successful trainers are the ones who know what to do when things go wrong and who can pick up the pieces and carry on.

Chris Snaith, now there's a trainer I admired especially with that fiery Irishman FLAMING ROCK.The Cape certainly had a wealth of talented trainers in that era of Terence Millard, Ralph Rixon, Mike Bass, Peter Kannemeyer, Chris Snaith, the late Guy Rixon and James Lightheart [R.I.P] and a few others.

The champion trainer least has the balls to say there is a darker side to racing.

When cracks are covered over and all that

Top class stable very professionally run, well done guys.

A job well done. When goodness prevails it keeps the evil away.

Justin Snaith comes accross as a decent,hard working and dedicated horseman. Unfortunately fame and success leads to vitriolic attacks from bitter and jealous individuals.
May he go from strength to strength.
To those adversarys:

"O!beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-ey'd monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on."

He doesn't actually say who does the threatening though Bob... could simply be angry punters mouthing off on occasion as he walks past, who knows?

Well done to the Snaith team on their successes.

When you're at the top, someone is always going to want what you've got. And some people will clearly stoop pretty low to get it.

Big up to Justin for dealing with it.

Brilliantly run stable with results to prove just how good they are. i have no doubt if Justin is asked who the best horse in his stable is he would have no hesitation in saying Jono..both brothers are masters of their trade and have the pedigree to reach even greater heights, which they will in the coming seasons...no doubt

Now they need to top the 200 winners mark for a season....going to be touch and go.....

Hope justin gets to that magic 200 mark... quite a feat if he does.

This is a seriously well run stable and they deserve all the records they can break!
