My heart isn't in social media but I know it's now part of the job

There are two sides to social media.

The good clearly outweighs the bad, for there are many more good people than bad people, but the negative side was horribly evident last weekend following the death of Permian in America.

Mark Johnston was quoted in the Racing Post talking about his shock and disgust at some of the reaction on Twitter in the aftermath of the accident that cost Permian his life. Mark was attacked for how he trained and raced the horse, while his son Charlie, who was on duty at Arlington Park, was slated by some for the things he said.
