Anybody know what this is about?

HRNSW won't be naming anyone until it hits the courts, so if you don't want this thread locked up, tread carefully.

According to Google, this is the operation which is investigating Clements and others in the Tamworth area of NSWas per a prior thread.
Info on this is already released.
Refer Stand Trainers Down thread

Obviously there is some new information forthcoming because I recall HRNSW releasing details where action had previously been taken against Clement prior to the indiscretions committed in the Tamworth Cup...hmmm where is this going to take us this time?

Destination unknown at this stage but rules of the game have now changed in the most dramatic way.No longer a 12 month susp and fine for doing naughty things but the prospect of 10 years (up to) in the pokey for fraud has just ruined the market for baking soda,and about time.

As is the norm Harnesslink breaks the news well before any announcement is forthcoming from HRNSW. So we are looking at face-fixing at Muswellbrook and Tamworth whilst a third person has been charged. The sourced article comes from the Namoi Valley Independent.

While not heavy on info remember HRNSW isn't actually a media outlet.

Hi Brendan, I am taking it easy ... please refer to comment #1 which was the catalyst for the thread. HRNSW has decided to make no further comment on a case that directly affects the reputation of the industry yet the local Tamworth paper reports quite openly on the investigation whilst not jeopardising it. HRNSW have invested heavily in improving the image of the sport, yet chooses to shut up shop on the matter ... does not make sense!

Hey Brad,

I suspect (don't know for sure) that as HRNSW are assisting the police and conducting their own ongoing investigation(s) it is not appropriate for them to comment any further. As they normally do, I am sure they will release information on any charges they may make under the rules of racing.
