21st November 2019

Fair Kate is fine this morning. Adrimel, Lamanver Odyssey and L’Incorrigible all worked this morning, others had a quieter day. 

I had my annual BHA yard inspection late morning and managed to tick all the boxes required. The administration involved in running most businesses is vast and running a training yard is no different. We are now being subjected to some sort of vulnerable people examination. I have to complete a tutorial and multiple choice questionnaire document on line that I am told will take me over two hours. I am not one for such nonsense, I’d like to think the staff here know I will help them with whatever I can whenever I can and that should be enough. I wonder how much it cost someone to build the computer program for said tutorial. No doubt it cost thousands of pounds to get a company to formulate the questions. In their defense, I think this is being rolled out across all businesses. The last survey I received from the powers that be, incidentally, I believe it cost over a million pounds to produce was laughable, I didn’t get past question three before realizing it was a total joke and the questions could have been drafted by a dyslexia infant. If it’s true that it cost over a million pounds someone should be held accountable. If you want to know where all the levy board money goes, maybe, we need look no further. 

I am not a one who constantly moans about the BHA and think they have a tough task however; I don’t think it is right that they are unaccountable. For example, all banks etc answer to the FSA and the courts have the CPS. 

Coningsby and Glory and Fortune head to Ascot tomorrow, to read my thoughts click here.
