All well and good, but on the flip side, social media accounts that ghoulishly report deaths, tacitly attributing blame to those involved with no thoughts of nuance about the situation, actively discourage people from reporting deaths. It might be worth you thinking on that point

Yesterday a trainer who admitted deliberately misleading the BHA with a doctored email was fined £2,000, with her licence ban suspended. Last month a champion trainer was fined £1,100 after his runner at the Cheltenham Festival had an undeclared prohibited substance in its body.
A stable employee who took £1,950 for inside information got two years out of the sport.
Who does the rulebook actually bite?

A stable employee paid £1,950 for inside information: two years out of the sport. A trainer found to have misled the BHA over a £42,033 payment: a £6,000 fine.
Does the BHA penalise everyone equally, or does it depend on who you are? Are jockeys, trainers, and racecourses treated proportionately, or is there a hierarchy and underlying bias from the BHA in its governance of the sport?

Jesus Christ 🙈🙈🙈 I know they have rules but 2,000 fine and license revoked for 5 month (suspended for two years) is shocking!!
Harriet Dickin has been fined £2,000 and received a suspended withdrawal of her training licence after admitting lying to the BHA about an email sent with the intention of avoiding an £80 raceday fine

11th November, 2026 💜❤️
We remember the animals who served beside soldiers - loyal, brave, and silent heroes
I SPOKE TO YOU IN WHISPERS
by Neil Andrew
I spoke to you in whispers
As shells made the ground beneath us quake
We both trembled in that crater
A toxic muddy bloody lake
I spoke to you and pulled your ears To try and quell your fearful eye
As bullets whizzed through the raindrops And we watched the men around us die
I spoke to you in stable tones
A quiet tranquil voice
At least I volunteered to fight
You didn't get to make the choice I spoke to you of old times
Perhaps you went before the plough And pulled the haycart from the meadow
Far from where we're dying now
I spoke to you of grooming
Of when the ploughman made you shine
Not the shrapnel wounds and bleeding flanks
Mane filled with mud and wire and grime
I spoke to you of courage
As gas filled the Flanders air
Watched you struggle in the mud
Harness acting like a snare
I spoke to you of peaceful fields
Grazing beneath a setting sun
Time to rest your torn and tired body
Your working day is done
#LestWeForget 💜❤️
