gordon elliot should be ****!!!! Leading bookmaker Betfair have discontinued their association with Gordon Elliott as an ambassador after a shocking image emerged over the weekend of the top trainer sat on a dead horse.
Elliott on Sunday apologised for his actions and explained he was distracted by a phone call when waiting for the horse, who suffered an apparent heart attack, to be removed from the gallops.
However, Betfair on Monday morning released a statement saying: "While we recognise that Gordon deeply regrets and apologised unreservedly for his poor judgement his actions are completely at odds with the values of the Betfair brand and that of our employees.
"With that in mind, we have decided to discontinue our association with Gordon with immediate effect."
