PHANTOM HOUSE has been unfortunate to have suffered an identified case of Strangles - as has been documented in the press over the last few days.
But William Jarvis was quick to act in the circumstances and the trainer has received praise from key figures in how he has responded to the setback.
There was encouragement, too, in the latest set of nasal swab results which were all shown to have been negative - proof of how hard William and his team have been working in regard to the overall hygiene of the main yard..
William said: “It has been a fairly torrid time, but the staff have been marvellous and my owners have been tremendous as well - very supportive.
“The authorities with whom I’ve had to deal have been very helpful, too. I’m a firm believer that our honesty will pay dividends in the long run.
“We are very hopeful that we are on the road to recovery.”
