    Gray faced two charges and only received a suspension for one (the other was a fine)
    He received 12 months (with the possibility of a 3mth reduction)
    It commenced on April 30
    Why is the Suspended Driver's list showing and End Date of May 31 - that is only 1 month

    I am not a punter but I wouldn't think it out of place for the stewards to ask Matt Craven why he surrendered the lead in the last at Stawell today - I am not saying that he wouldn't have a VG answer
    But we know that Stawell is one hell of a leaders track, that they were not going fast and that most of his horse's wins have been as leader

    What is wrong with this guy? It is not the first time he has fallen seriously foul of the RWWA stewards.

    A long held belief of mine is that modern-day stewards are big on compliance but short on horsemanship. Many of them are yet to understand that the pain eminating from their foot is caused by the horse standing on it.

    Sad to hear of the passing of Rod Osborne, one of Victoria's greatest ever stewards. He was a trainer/driver before he was a steward and I doubt he ever queried the improved performance of a horse having a second race start.

    A couple of 4 month Disqualifications handed down (although one is already serving 12mths anyway)

    http://www.harness.org.au/media-room...?news_id=44020

    This was the race at Mildura back in Feb that obviously upset Mr Rogers (Leader) with Ms Phillips (Death)

    Here is the Stewards Report (that does not tell us much)

    I am not sure how Ms Hryhorec got involved

    Kima Frenning, driver of Beautiful Woman ($1.10 fav) which led the event prior to yielding ground rapidly from the 600m before finished in 9th and last position beaten 167.2m was queried into the poor performance of the filly. Ms Frenning explained Beautiful Woman provided to be extremely disappointing and attribute the performance to a combination of factors when entering the back straight on the first occasion and releasing the hopple shorteners the near side cord became entangled with the hobbles momentarily resulting in the filly racing keenly thereafter and recording a faster than normal lead time of 40.5 seconds (1.7 faster than the average) Ms Frenning advised the filly may be best driven less aggressively at the start of its races as Beautiful Woman had performed in a similar manner when having its first initial start on the 29th April 2020. A post-race veterinary examination of the filly failed to reveal any significant abnormalities Beautiful Woman will now be stood down from racing until trialling to the satisfaction of Stewards on one (1) occasion. Emma Stewart, trainer of Beautiful Woman will be contacted in the coming days relative to the progress of the filly subsequent to the event.


    This struck me as very insightful from Kima as even though she did not drive the horse in her first start, there are definitely similarities between the 2 races

    It was only the filly's 5th start and even though she had led and won at her previous start they had not gone hard
    She had only run some serious time when she was behind the leader over a shorter trip at Melton
    In hindsight it would seem that $1.10 were very silly odds against more seasoned horses
