 Re: Not here for long
Thanks for all the kind words. Didn't realise the new season was so near so i'm filling up my stable with the best of what's left, hopefully there will be a couple of half decent ones among them. I see there is a race named after me that was really nice and I appreciate it.

I'm not looking for sympathy but I thought you all should know that when I stop entering races or posting anything then I 'm likely not able to for an obvious reason. I would just like to say I've had a great time over the years playing this game and a big shout to all guys who make this online league possible. If I'm still around when the next season starts I'll try and find a few donkeys to throw in. GUTTED to hear this buddy LEGEND and a gent its been amazing battling you over the years I just have no words mate so sad about this take care mate

 Re: Not here for long
So sorry David, don’t know you on a personal level, and but I do hope you know you will be sorely missed.

 Re: Not here for long
This is so damn sad you will be sorely missed by all trainers, I think you have always beaten me at the end of every season I've played and your colours are obvious. You will not be forgotten! Nice Leon named a G1 race after you. You will always be in our thoughts.
