R1 at Leeton today is a ONE horse race and more at Launceston

I don't think the scratchings related to the report released this week was my point Kevin, more a lack of transport options to Wagga today after some recent police checks

Interesting Dannie, I would have understood that if you had given us that detail - I have seen PP going on about a driver being unlicensed

All the Yole horses have come out at Launceston!

We now have 2 one horse races, 2 two horse races and most of the others decimated

I am not sure if this is behind a paywall
Chris Roots has written up the effect all the Yole scratchings has had today in the Sydney Morning Herald
He has not gone into any detail about the Report and the offences that Yole is accused of having committed

It is interesting how despite having the same ownership, the SMH still writes harness racing news while The Age in Melbourne has not done so for what I think is now approaching decades

Can you imagine the smiley faces at Launceston tonight.

Great call too, especially the engagement announcement. Not heard that before mid race.

Go Hilly!

Really. So , were HRNSW Stewards going to let his horses run anyway?

Excellent.

And how good was it to see all those horses win in Launceston .

NSW stewards confirmed in interviews reported in media that horses were scratched by Yole/Walters before they needed to make a decision in relation to forcing them to not run.

I have just been perusing the rules in WA and it seems that in the event of a one horse race the horse 1) has to finish in the correct gait (fair enough) and 2) the connections receive half the prize money.

Hopefully Hilly’s connections received 100% of the purse (Rule198).

Maybe they mean half the total prizemoney which was what 1st was in the past
