Could not agree more Legendairy,enough's enough!
The Newcastle Morning Herald has a story in todays paper saying that Greg Sarina trained horses won 12 of the 38 races that Paul O'tool has been charged with ,including a treble on the won day at Goulburn
Twelve of the horses mentioned in the 38 races involving charges against O'Toole were prepared at the stables of Riverstone trainer Greg Sarina. Serene Major, which has since moved to another stable, scored four wins for Sarina in races mentioned in the corruption charges. The first three wins of stablemate Serene Jasper, which has won five of his seven, were all part of the charges against O'Toole. The Sarina stable had a winning treble at the Goulburn meeting on January 7 and all three also appeared on O'Toole's charge sheet.
The charges against O'Toole are that he corruptly received for himself and for Matthew Bentley, another former Harness Racing NSW steward, a benefit as a reward for not drug-testing horses

And the media person
What about proceeds of crime etc? Take there homes, assets and whatever else squares the ledger. When all the races involved are highlighted, have he punters who lost money on bets make Civil claims against these crims. What about the owners of participants in these races that pay monthly bills and now find that they had no chance of a shot at the Winner's cheque?
A few random thoughts, O'Toole is charged on 38 counts, has proceeds of over $400k! He must have been backing them big to make that as it is spoken of that he received at best $1,000 per horse or, God forbid, there are a lot more that he hasn't been charged with at this point.
His two counterparts arrested on Thursday have 19 counts between them, the two arrested on Friday have 6 counts between them. That leaves at least 13 more episodes to be answered for and Bentley's account has yet to be mentioned, so how many does he add to the count?
It still appears to be a case of more questions than answers at this point, though it is nice to see that the web that was woven is starting to unravel.
