@Fizzbw @RacingPost @nickluck @LydiaHislop So they basically sacked you for having brain surgery! That’s sickening from them. Funny how they said they didn’t appeal against Matthew to let him move on…what a load of b***ocks!! More like because the evidence was stacked against them! Disgraceful company.

Absolutely awful the way he was treated. I wonder if anyone else working for JC was treated this bad? Alot of people with senior roles (mainly at Cheltenham) left in 2021/22.🤔 This story appears to have gone unnoticed. @RacingPost @nickluck @LydiaHislop can you explain more?

@Scrubber_D I get suicidal from fentanyl WD. Tramadol WD can be gnarly as well. My tricyclic WD was horrific as well & both together? 😱 - I’m lucky to be here. But *for me* the suicidality comes from the fent & later morphine. We are all different, but we should stick together I think?

I've done both, & can categorically state that while it's not a walk in the park, heroin WD is a breeze compared to my withdrawal from Mirtazapine which pushed me to try suicide. & there's the constant feeling of having a heart attack. You don't get that from opiate withdrawal.

@BlackshepSusan @recover2renew @Altostrata There is more help for addicts (we need both). I’ve had fentanyl (as prescribed) & tricyclic WD. Both a hellhole without the fright support, info & bad tapering. Fentanyl dysphoria is suicidal. Akathisia on top is horrific. This is why we fight to stop it happening to others.

@Altostrata There's one huge difference between heroin and antidepressant withdrawal. Heroin addicts know there's going to be hell to pay coming off the drug. Antidepressant consumers are told withdrawal is "mild and self limiting" if it's even mentioned at all by their Doctors.

Kindly #deprescribe -- taper psychiatric drugs
Both heroin withdrawal & antidepressant withdrawal may incur severe acute withdrawal symptoms and/or severe protracted withdrawal syndrome. True of almost all psychotropics. Individual outcomes are unpredictable. It's absurd to say one withdrawal syndrome is worse than another.

@seattleracing And Minnie is based in Ireland and usually posts about Irish and UK horses… Maybe look outside your US bubble? Sadly lots of issues with racehorses in all countries.

this horse was bred, raised, raced and retired in turkey. not that it makes a better, but this feels like it may mislead people into thinking this was a US horse that was imported over and subsequently slaughtered.

An injured racehorse’s microchip has found in dish of sauteed meat, sparking a major investigation. Horse slaughter for meat is banned in Turkey – especially for registered racehorses news.com.au/sport/superrac…

@bencheltenham Lots so subtle and not so subtle pressure to not challenge the JC (or BHB when I was there). My redundancy (on my return from brain surgery) included a payment of £100 not to bad mouth them….

@theoccasional1 @K1rst3y And he had been staying better than ever, which is often what horses do as they get older. 12 didn’t used to be old. Many horses used to be competitive at an age. This horse was lightly raced. Running into a place in a GC would have been less difficult than in a Ryanair imo.

Just an observation, my timeline was full of ppl saying that Envoi Allen shouldn't have been in the Gold Cup at 12. None of those people protested this before the race. In fact some even retweeted his prep & backed him. It's sad enough as it is without blame being thrown about 😢

Sorry now, it’s popular to bash ITV etc but anyone who thinks Chamblerlain was intentionally saying “dying on track is a great way for a horse to go” is just kicking him. Chap is hardly cheering death at Chelt as a badge of honor…

@cannibal_bucky The whole point of these series is that you get a New couple every book. Lovely to see cameos and epilogues and novellas to catch up, but that’s all it is….TLG etc is different for sure but we still want the new blood as well..

I stayed a little longer at the line to photograph him as he passed so I could have the memory of him crossing the line for the last time. Absolutely devastated for all of Envoi Allen's connections. A heartbreaking end 💔

@goracinggreen Colour genetics is one heck of a big, complicated and fascinating rabbit hole!! I’ve learnt bits and pieces on Facebook from people I respect, but no idea where best place to really lean into trusted info 🤔

@goracinggreen Grey is a strange old gene! Mine was very bay as a foal and now at 6 she’s whiter than her mum who still has a grey mane and tail. Biggest downside of grey gene is melanomas 😢 but I think there is gene involvement in their development as well. Fascinating stuff!

@CeraGibson @alfkkifine I’ve been single for 40years (happily so) I’m not touch starved. Hug people, platonic touch is lovely. WITH CONSENT. And not as. A prelude to sex. If men could be affectionate with another there’s no problem. Making this women’s problem is grotesque.

@alfkkifine Male touch is considered creepy because women are touched without consent by men regularly. Men need to destigmatize platonic touch with other men. The solution isn't for women to suck it up so men don't feel lonely lol

Do you know that the average single man can go months or even years without non-sexual physical touch. No hugs. No hand-holding. No comforting pat on the back? The only time many men experience gentle touch is from a barber or a paid sex worker. This condition is called 'Skin Hunger,' and it leads to severe depression and anxiety. Society has labeled male touch as 'predatory' or 'creepy,' so men have learned to starve themselves of human contact just to make women feel comfortable. They are dying of loneliness in a crowded room.
k@alfkkifine

what opinion about men do you have that makes people feel like this???

@racehorsesrace1 I feel this list is a tad misleading - not all of these names are no longer around because of a lack of intervention from BHA/IHRB. But of course it is true for many.

One way of trying to retain top class NH horses is doing all you can to help them survive in the first place The BHA & IHRB do absolutely nothing with intervention as a tool to help its racing population stay intact & endure They do the opposite RECENT TOP NH HORSES RIP👇

The BHA has introduced a new Training Fees Credit Scheme that will see winning and runner-up owners in Grade 1 Chase and Hurdle races in March and April receive credits to be redeemed against the training fees of a new British-trained horse. Full details: britishhorseracing.com/press_releases…
