Wonderful man to work for. Loved my time at Churn. Massively underrated trainer. Hope he gets another chance.

I’m just going to leave this here…

Cognitive Dissonance: The mental discomfort experienced when behaviour conflicts with beliefs. Reduced by people changing behaviours, justifying actions or ignoring conflicting information.

@ClaireDunkley4 @mjyharris I pulled up immediately and the injury remained stable. A blind man could see Gold Dancer wasn’t right after that mistake. I really dispute the reasoning that followed. I’m convinced if that had happened anywhere other than the last fence he’d have been pulled up.

@ClaireDunkley4 @mjyharris The horse I was on broke a pelvis. It was obvious she’d had an injury immediately.

[ClarkRacing @ClarkRacing4]

@AndrewReds79134 @RoadCheltenham @SportingLife Would surely be a tendon injury with that timeframe. Could be career ending.

@SharronEdmonds @Shell Blewbury, Oxfordshire. The rest of Oxfordshire is about 166-172

[ClarkRacing @ClarkRacing4]

How can @Shell get away with blatantly exploiting the consumer on their prices!
192.9 for Diesel, a 27p increase in less than 24hrs. No other local garage has inflated their prices this much. Absolutely disgusting

@jake_galloway1 @racingoncourse Wonder if he ran into the wing of the chase fence? I thought he looked fine initially and then he headed towards the last fence

@markagrantham Best of luck on your recovery. My partner had prostate cancer at 38 and total prostectomy. Had a recurrence last year; hormone therapy and radiotherapy. He’s doing well now. Lean on your support system. You’ve got this!

@Captainfastic33 @goracinggreen Pulled up

[ClarkRacing @ClarkRacing4]

@racehorsesrace1 @ScottPr84 @RyanTring They can talk a good talk though 😞

[ClarkRacing @ClarkRacing4]

@racehorsesrace1 @ScottPr84 @RyanTring It would be great if the stable staff could be shown these so they can do something to help prevent. If they have 5-10 mins spare at evening stables for example. This particular horse had been having regular physio

[ClarkRacing @ClarkRacing4]

@ScottPr84 @racehorsesrace1 @RyanTring Neither of us fell. I managed to pull up. Horrible feeling. Everything crossed Gino remains stable. Our horse’s did displace in the stable but survived. Scary stuff

[ClarkRacing @ClarkRacing4]

@racehorsesrace1 @ScottPr84 @RyanTring Of course prevention is always preferred. But in spite of regular physio and all checks, the injury happened (e.g. couldn’t be prevented). I liken it to a chip on a windscreen, barely detectable but then can suddenly ‘go’. Do we xray every horse before we ride everyday?

[ClarkRacing @ClarkRacing4]

@AlphaBettingTip They rarely come back the same and I’m sure they won’t risk a horse of his calibre on the track again

[ClarkRacing @ClarkRacing4]

@ScottPr84 @racehorsesrace1 @RyanTring Having ridden a horse that sustained a pelvic fracture at home, during a piece of work (so about 30mph), there was no warning and happened suddenly. The horse is currently fine too

[ClarkRacing @ClarkRacing4]

@OllyHarris61913 @JMB_Racing What planet are you on! Completely false

[ClarkRacing @ClarkRacing4]

@SziIlar Yes very recoverable as long as the fracture doesn’t displace, as main artery runs underneath and that can be nicked or severed in worst case scenarios. The horse has to be kept tied up and you have to hope they don’t try and lay down
