Had a rubbish season last year and I just see in my FB newsfeed his main owners are removing all 50 horses from his yard. What a blow. Where will they be going, does anyone know?

I thought he was having a very good start to the season. What a shame for him.

I heard rumours a month or so ago that the horses are going to Ireland. Some to Gordon Elliot, can't remember where the rest are going.
It sucks for McCain! But on the plus side for me - less of their horses to compete against for the turnout prize lol!

I saw this on RP site, its a huge blow for him and I hope it doesn't mean he has to let staff go, cant believe any one trainer will take them all.

I must say his horses are always terribly wel lturned out - as are yours, EKW!
I watched Hexham last week (think it was Hexham?) you had a lovely big grey in a novice race, I like him a lot.

The grey would be Celtic Flames. He is the last crop of Celtic Swing. Lovely horse and will win plenty of races but he needs to learn to settle a bit better first and stop fighting his jockey lol!
