So the possibility that he was on the phone and distracted and absent mindedly sat on a horse like I'm sure he's done a zillion times, and continued with the call only then for someone to call him and have his photo taken, this deserves to have him cancelled??

Like WTF do people actually honestly think he was doing on the dead horse. Does anyone have a reasonable explanation without going into hysteria mode?

Ah yeh, sure he was overjoyed and gloating about it's death - Pure projection en masse...

"cancelled", anyone using that phrase in a statement can immediately be disregarded as it's a lazy way to avoid facing up to the actuality and factuality of a scenario.

Read on social media his now ex Katie Harrington leaked the pic.

They were together 18 months and he was caught riding a young female stable hand and throwing parties in his little shebeen...
Katie and the girl battered each other,Katie's face got destroyed.Elliot was drunk watching the show and got a great kick apparently telling the girls to take off their clothes for the fight lol.
Cancel culture alive and well with that pic..she's done a number on him.
I dont know the first thing about horse racing now that's just something I pulled from facebook.....

He should have just eaten it, no-one would have cared then.

There is some ironic truth in this no matter how people object. I think the act depicted in the photo is cruel. Because the animal was a living being before death and deserves respect. But I also do not eat meat because I think it is cruel and I drag road kill off the road so it will not be reduced to minced meat by passing cars because I think that is sad. Lots of people I love very much eat lots of meat including people I have given birth to but it is a cruel industry in many ways and that has to be admitted.

Error of judgement, and nothing more.

Horses are being slaughtered and eaten, that depending on your view might be much worse.

It's a lot more. And the only remorse is having been caught, sure wasn't he having the craic sitting a top of the dead animal posing for photos.

Error of judgement, it wasn't a bar stool he thought he was sitting on.

Ha! Do you want to see some kids get hurt?

It was on Facebook so it must be true

Fat boys troubles are only beginning.

Video now going around of jockey Rob James, who has worked for Gordon Elliot, jumping on a dead horse and laughing with his friends.

A lot of stuff coming out as well about a party Elliot threw during Covid restrictions. Has a bar at his stables.

Seems the floodgates are opening...

Don’t be so naive.

Most jockies have small man syndrome anyhow. No harm for the horsey set to get taken down a peg or two with this.

Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board say they're now aware of the video I mentioned in post above. Horse racing industry receives a lot of funding from the Irish government. That funding will come under serious scrutiny/pressure now.

These lads will have to go, and rightly so.

bad taste picture no doubt...

i heard some people on liveline yesterday say "ah sure the horse is dead anyway" "sure its going to the knacker's yard" - but that's not the point! its the principle of the matter...he's a prominent trainer in the horse racing industry and this is the way he behaves?? what sort of example does that send out? begs the question how does he behave when camera's aren't around?

i often found people who are ignorant towards animals are ignorant towards people too

rightly or wrongly the government pump a lot of money into the industry and it is one of the industries we have a reputation for, so if action isn't taken our reputation is at stake, also the Uk are probably relishing the idea of taking us down a peg or two!

Of course, there's obviously something lacking upstairs.

Anyway, if there's photos and videos of these guys sitting/laughing/jumping on dead horses, makes you wonder what sort of stuff the sickos do away from the cameras...

All involved (apart from whistleblower) in these old pics and clips are a showerful of zoophilic, necrophilic pr**ks and need to stay away from coke and other mindaltering substances

And on and on with the outage over a dead horse..... I despair, poor snowflakes, I’d hate to see their reaction to something truly horrific.

Well Reading that British horse racing won't allow him run anything until the investigation is complete here, is interesting.

Horse owners would in theory have to move trainer for Cheltenham and many i imagine would not take the bad press and go back. Assuming the investigation takes a while (Given the public scrutiny can the Irish society rush it?).

To be honest for stupidity alone the man deserves what he gets, will allow other trainers a chance to get top class horses and show what they can do.

I think for the sport to keep itself clean it will have to sacrifice Elliot on this one, it's already under so much pressure.

Looking like he is going to be septic - big boys will pull out and then he will be in right trouble.

And you're happy to distribute any old unconfirmed facebook rubbish.
The GE drinking video has been identified as a video from Cheltenham last year. A plausible claim.

But yeah, cancel culture .. blah blah.

I am tough though, it’s called reality, you should try living in it, anyways enough crap about a dead horse there are far more important things going on in the world that need attention and action. This is just ridiculous so I’ll leave the ridiculous people to it
