I'm pleased to announce Flat Horse Trainer Blog/News links have been completed. If there is a horse trainer with a blog or news to tell then it is on this list. To be fair, if there is ever going to be a broken link it will be with these pages for trainer websites. They seem to change pages at a drop of a hat.
It is fair to say that many horse trainers start blogs with the best of intentions and one day it simply stops in its track - dead as a dodo.
There's only so much time in a day and I guess half an hour writing about the latest stable news doesn't show much of a return for the profit line.
I know the feeling working on this beast of a website.
If a trainer hasn't updated a blog for a time I don't add them to the list. It looks poor on a horse trainer if you go to the blog or latest news and their last entree was back in 2015. I usually check to see if they are still in business. It isn't a good look and I imagine it has put off a few potential owners. Who knows, but I would say to trainers even updating a blog once a month is better than not at all. If you've given up the ghost, I'd delete the whole thing.
So what next?
The updates continue. It's a long old road to get to our destination - completion (whatever that means).
Next, we will be updating the Flat horse trainer X links for trainers big and small. It shows how needed this is because we still have the heading as Twitter. Elon Musk came along like a cheap aftershave. So I will need to make a little graphic too. Anyway, that was a cheap joke at his expense. He can afford it!
So over the next two weeks I will be updating the X links for trainers. I have noticed a lot more trainers use social media platforms to detail their news, winners, gripes and well-placed bets (strangely, I've never read a trainer detail a good bet).
Here's to progress.
