Interesting, and good to see, that HRNZ carried out random inspection of 35 stables around NZ. Also great to read that nothing amiss was found. In view of this did they tell Harnesslink which stables were inspected? Would make quite a difference if only stables housing 2 or 3 horses were raided. As no problem was found i think there would be no problem naming the stables inspected. Or would there be?
Maybe a little pressure from the Minister Of Racing re Integrity.
Should be more of it, Maybe on race day as well.
HRNZ couldn't confirm the 35 stables straight off, but from our inquiries here at Harnesslink, Barry Purdon/Scott Phelan, John Dickie, Steven Reid, Todd Mitchell and Gareth Dixon definitely received a visit from the Inspectors.
and Ray Green, Ken Sefonte, Mark Purdon/Grant Payne (Pukekohe) Brian Hughes, Michelle Wallis.
