One can only assume Cramp appealed his 10 day suspension incurred at the meeting at Mildura last Friday - as he drove again today.
And copped a suspension in the first race - plus an adjourned inquiry into the run of the $1.60 fav - beaten 72 metres.
Anyone have thoughts after watching the replay?

I just started this thread to give him a clean slate so to speak :eek:
For starters there is no way known that that horse should have been that short
Opting for 2 back the fence early and not coming out when the running line was taking shape does not look great but he could probably argue that in a 6 horse race he knew he would always get a run
As for what happened next - he is probably going to plead guilty to being cute again, as the speed went on in the 3rd Q he knew he was in trouble and he thought he could save himself going wide and come up under the horse in front of him - not like that he couldn't.
Has been suspended again for the drive but I doubt the inquiry will result in anything else
[Later won 4 in a row to bank some money for the spell]
Could be a big night for the stable. Craig Rail has tipped SJC to train the first 5 winners and 6 overall plus 2 seconds on the 8 race program at Mildura tonight.
Not Wrong Kev, I know it's a huge call but I wouldn't be surprised if SJC trained the program there sooner or later.
SJC won the first 4 but then the next 4 favs got beaten - 3 of them his plus the Jack's Tezz Khora
SJC is almost as hot as Shane Tritton. Trot tips tonight has 6 rated as odds on, and 2 other favourites. Only runners in 8 of the 10 so can't train the card.
Reading harness.org.au, notice SJC just got eight weeks for a losing drive
Yep it was the drive I summarized in Post 3 of the thread - I wonder why the suspension does not start until July 6 - pretty bloody lucky in that respect as this means he gets another Mildura meeting on July 4 and the big Melton meeting on July 5
