Ladies In Red now trained by C R Tonkin.
?????????????
Has Emma dropped her appeal?
I don't really think so
BUT
if you do a licensee search on Harnessweb
There is no such licensee

Anne can choose to reply or not reply, she may choose to pm Brendan
But I have reinstated Brendan's post 103 as I may have been a little heavy-handed in deleting it

Fair enough Kev.
Going back to Emma's statement, she basically admits to not knowing or forgetting the rules ! I'm just an owner breeder and I know that rule and if I'm unsure I check. To me this indicates that this could have been a regular practice at the stable. Only a fool would believe this only happened that one day that the stewards turned up. Just my opinion. Do others think this way. I'm also very surprised that C Tonkin can still train horses. Integrity is not the main aim of the board IMO.
I'm now considering my future in the industry...
Don't die wondering !

It's in the best interest of the sport to ensure a level playing field and maintain integrity. interesting to see if they can maintain their success or if other stables will start to catch up.
Clayton has been training the odd one of theirs for years Rick
eg Ride High - Emma had him as a 3yo but when he came back from injury he was in Clayton's name
I would think that more people than not, think that the Maryborough eve offence is unlikely a one off as "she did not know the rules"
If Clayton had not bothered to get his license back and left it all to Emma, it could have been awkward for him applying for it now IF it is true that he refused stewards entry to their property on Breeders Crown day. I believe that getting your license back after disqualification requires an application and is not necessarily automatic

Kevin, they call themselves "Tonkin Stewart racing" , we all know they were co trainers but the board didn't make them declare that. People were asking why ? The media always referred to them as co trainers. If she is disqualified most people in my opinion would expect him to also be disqualified . This is the exact reason people wanted them classed as co trainers all along . It just stinks and at a time our industry can't afford this bad look.

Rick, I do not think anyone has banged on about training 'partnerships' than me!

HRV has stopped 21 of the Stewart trained horses being transferred to C Tonkin. I was certain they had changed the rules to stop disqualified trainers just transferring horses to their partner, I'm surprised they even tried but as we are now learning they have very little knowledge of the rules !
