Sadly no one from Up at Last (aka Belle) past has stepped forward with a donation. In a week where the industry is boasting about record sale results & sire stats when are they going to step up with aftercare? Deep pockets, short arms

An example popped up today. Horse: Ehteyat Form figures: 0P00PP Last raced on Monday & now deceased. HRI Rule 212C ?

A rule that's never implemented, same as Ireland Ireland once had a performance warning rule, it totally disappeared The main reason for this, in UK, is they need all the runners they can get and can draw more money from owners over time This is how the system now works
