Reply With QuoteI see only seven programmed races held up. Possibly a lack of noms for an 8th race and they are searching around for a few horses to add an 8th race? Not sure.
Can anyone shed any light on why acceptances were not taken for Menangle today . Saturday or Friday night fields come out every Monday and the meeting isn't extended .

Thanks for that but the acceptances were final at 12pm today & they had enough horses to fill 8 races . The meetings not on the extended list . You can always see whos in if extended .
Possibly related to this? If numbers were a bit light on then the numbers from Luke may have made the difference?

There are 9 horses in on Saturday night who don't have a trainer.......Here comes another Stink for consistency in applying standards
In all my time in harness racing I have never seen this before . Is it possible that there is an injunction against the decision and that the fields stand until it is presided over . Surley they would have been scratched if they were nominated under LM's licence number ? If they were nominated under his wifes name then her name would appear .Originally Posted by p plater
If nominated under a trainer's name who consequently is DQ then surely the board should not accept the nomination???
I would think that HRNSW policy on DISQUALIFICATIONS – TRANSFER OF HORSES is being read by many at the moment!!

The horses were all originally nominated under B.McCarthy. After Luke was disaqualified today, HRNSW said they were not convinced that this could work and said that a decision will be made by the Board on Monday on whether B.Mccarthy can take over training duties.
As nominations had already been taken, HRNSW decided to draw those horses into the field and to contact all owners of those horses and give them 2 options:
1. scratch without penalty; or
2. transfer the horse to and Race with a completely different trainer
