BHA’s Failure to Respond in George Gently Syndicate Case Exposed After Two Thousand Days

This milestone has become a burden for the BHA, and its weight increases each day. Recently, it has been 2,000 days since a complaint was filed with the BHA by the owners of a horse called George Gently. The owners accused trainer Dan Skelton of secretly benefiting from the horse’s sale to them, as he allegedly held an undisclosed one-third share. The owners believed this was relevant because Skelton had trained the horse during its second-place debut at Enghien racecourse, and his involvement influenced their decision to purchase the horse for £130,000. Skelton adamantly denied owning a one-third share of the horse.

In conclusion, the BHA has been dealing with this complaint for a significant amount of time, and the allegations against Dan Skelton concerning his ownership share of the horse have not been resolved. The matter remains a source of concern and potential controversy within the horse racing community.
