What i was told yesterday that even the good guys are now having to resort to other means to compete.I believe one cleanskin was recently done for co2 trying to compete.
Well said Peter.
From what I hear at the tracks, your point about those named in the O'Toole report still winning races, is the single most damaging thing within the Industry at the moment.
Like you the clean Trainers and Drivers are Pissed off and I get the feeling many would give it away if they could but most have no other trades to fall back on.
Time to act boys.........More damage done each week

Told that too, sad isn't it that he felt he had to lower himself to the SCUM level but then again he had a choice, they will get caught..........Originally Posted by barney
I had a good source tell me back in August when this first came to light a couple of players involved in this scandal, sure enough they were the ones charged in November. Then just before Xmas time I was told another 2 players were due to be stood down, one whos horses were in rare "2010" form last night and ripped over 60k prizemoney from honest participants on last nights efforts alone and another whos name was branded about in the media for receiving a warning letter back in August, and still nothing. The boys seem to have gone quiet on this...... where are you Sam?
This is so widespread cheats are being caught in all racing districts, and in most cases are not receiving big enough disqualifications to discourage them. They just change their horses over to a relative and continue to train the horses on the same property. Refuse to take a swab and get a minimum disqualification, as has happened with two trainers recently. Untill the authority get serious the industry will only detoriate further.
I also heard that some will get away with the drug/betting scandal as they were smarter than others! Found that hard to believe but apparently true.
There will be more on this come out after next Fridays court cases of Bennett and O'toole. But the above mentioned seemed to be covered in I thick layer of Teflon and nothing will stick.
As for the swabs it just showes what complete joke regulation of harness racing has become. Trainers know they are gone but can have cases put off for long periods never seen before.
I accept the wheels of justice turn slowly. But a HRNSW they have all but stopped.
You may be correct Tiny
As for the swabs you are correct IT IS A JOKE.
The CEO needs to implement a NEW rule to speed up the swab process, he can do this because he is the BOSS.

Victoria is very slow with inquiries etc only found out about the Jack one by contacting Harness board and asking.
Agree with you totally Peter.
