You will see ads/prices for some of their products that are mentioned as NO NO's in the above link
You can see why Michelle Phillips got a QDT & Warning Issued for her drive on I Am Marquez, if you didn't know any better you would think she had the job of working the fav in the lead
Maybe it was decided that Amanda Turnbull's run of long odds on faves had to come to an end (Sorry Anne)

Finishing 70m off the winner and 68m off the one she pressured - we will have to await the Stewards Report to see why she was not suspended
I am glad you posted this Kev as I wear rose coloured glasses when my horses go round. I think Michelle Phillips should have been suspended.. She stirred I Am Marquez up, contested the lead twice and was gone on the turn into the straight. No doubt will blame the horse for pulling!!. The caller said no surprise when her horse dropped out and Be My Baby was hammered in front . Much tougher penalties are required to stamp out this style of driving. Its not a good look when a $1.30 favourite is beaten , finishing third and the other horse finishes last beaten 70 metres. HRV will loose their greatest assets THEIR OWNERS if steps are not taken to protect our horses and ensure a fair run , win loose or draw.
RACE 8 – J & A MAZZETTI PAINTING PACE (2ND HEAT) (2150 MS)
Driver Brad Chisholm (Warraderry) was cautioned for his whip use outside the confines of the sulky early in the home straight.
Stewards inquired into the driving tactics adopted by Michelle Phillips (I Am Marquez). Ms Phillips explained that whilst the gelding was first up from a five week let up trainer C Latter had advised her that the gelding had worked well in the lead up to the race and was capable of a forward showing. Ms Phillips explained that she had allowed her drive to trail Rockon Locksley forward around the first turn and when that runner obtained a position in the one out line she then briefly drove her horse forward at which point she believed the leader had eased the pace of the race and her momentum from driving I Am Marquez forward saw her race up on level terms, then slightly in advance of Be My Baby in the back straight before she then restrained her drive. She then further explained that driver Amanda Turnbull (Be My Baby) when racing off the back straight on the first occasion then attempted to restrain that runner to the extent that that left her drive I Am Marquez heading that runner and for this reason she issued brief challenge for the lead before immediately ceasing when it became apparent that the lead was not available.. Ms Phillips further explained and Stewards verified on the replays that her horse had then travelled strongly outside the leader before then coming under pressure from the 500m. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no apparent abnormalities. In assessing the matter stewards took into consideration Ms Phillips’ explanation, their own observations, sectional times for the race, the official race replays and also the recent race reformances of I Am Marquez and were of the view that the horse had performed tonight significantly below its recent demonstrated capabilities and for this reason no action was taken against driver Michelle Phillips licence. A warning has been paced upon the gelding for tiring. Stewards will follow up with trainer Col Latter in the days subsequent to the event.

I still think the driver should have received a warning, not just the horse!
