Hello Broncobrad,

Hey Jason, WTF, surely you can't be serious. Are you condoning the presence of a substance within an animal that is over the prescribed acceptable threshold that falls outside the guidelines clearly layed out for all participants to abide by? And you then intimate that, atleast that is better than colluding with stewards.
In the current climate of NSW with the sport trying to resurrect some semblance of self respect, I just find those comments unhelpful at the very least.
Jamie, I don't know Belinda from a bar of soap. I don't like or dislike her and she could be the greatest horseman in the world. I don't know and it doesn't have much to do with this argument.
HOWEVER, the facts are that she has an unproven record as a trainer and that's the point that I'm making. You get it Jamie, however as you've know her and like her you're emotional about this and are trying to spin something else. Fair enough. You then get back to Luke's incredible driving skills. People like Ashlee Seijka, Jim Douglas etc have showed their class as drivers on lear jets also. People aren't stupid Jamie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

VVV, care to explain why my post was removed?
G'day Leigh,
It was removed because with two short sentences you rather deftly managed to slander ALL of Luke's owners, none of whom have had anything whatsoever to do with the current situation he is faced with. You can get the same point across by giving it some thought as to how you word it, that's all. I'm not looking for a stoush with you, but that's the way I saw it.
Fair enough. As your probably aware of by now, i'm not good at tactful, but I thought it was a point worth making. Tecnnically it wasn't slander till Luke came back from suspension in my defense. But I'll respect the umps call. Just a question though. Do you agree with the point I was trying to make?
G'day Leigh,
It's not a matter of agree or disagree. I know Emilio pretty well & this comes from that standpoint. He...like any number of others, has made his views on intergity well & truly known post the July/August 2011 revelations here in NSW and rightly so, what happened was a disgrace.
He, again like many others, is repeatedly in print and on the net as having said numerous things about racing integrity & so on and in his case, all of which I know he has backed up personally, face to face & to anyone who has talked to him at the track, at the Yearling Sales & so on in recent times about this general subject. What he does from here on in is of course entirely his prerogative, as it is that of any and all Owners.
Years ago there was an article that came out in the now defunct Harness Racing Weekly that absolutely bagged the Hell out of Noel Alexander when the Owners of My Cherie moved her to his set up at Cranbourne from Ted Demmler's stables. When asked about the misgivings of some sections of the VIC Industry at the time, Noel simply suggested they get a dictionary & look up the meaning of the word Owner. It's the same for Emilio. I wouldn't cop someone telling me what to do with ours Trainer wise or anything else & I'll not do that to anyone else & nor should others, IMO.
That's exactly right. And nowhere in my deleted post did I suggest what he should do with his horses. But you know what is a bigger penalty than any time on the sidelines or fine to a trainer who has returned a positive swab to a banned substance? It is the loss of quality horses and quality owners. I'd be interested to know if any posters would consider taking horses off a trainer who returned a positive and perhaps lost a race due to it.
