@jessphillips Not every rich person is like these. Not every politician is an expenses grubbing liar. Isn't it how u use your wealth or access to taxpayer funds more the issue? To use 'rich' as a negative undermines decent folk who also happen to hv made a few bob thro their hard work/talent.

With due respect, I think you're moving into v dodgy territory here. It's like us asking whether the RP should stick or twist with some of its writers or inconsistant tipsters. After all, the writing can b pretty variable too, wth a couple of notable exceptions.

Paid x4 lots of bills. A trainer; a pre-trainer; an Irish broodmare stud & an English broodmare stud. The most important thing owners can do now is pay our bills. So they can pay staff. And, if your horse has to come home, don't 4get to contact your insurer.
