SMH and Illawarra Merc as well
Certainly interesting reading. If Mr Bentey claims he did not do it for money or drugs, why did he do it? Mateship?
Does The Age NSW have harness racing news other than corruption trials - never ever seen mention of harness in The Age in Vic (the only thing I miss about the Herald Sun)
per un PUGNO di DOLLARI
With some of the decisions made by Officials re: whip,cot,presentation etc I trust the current group of Officials do not share a similar attitude to Mr Bentley
"Mr Bentley had described harness racing trainers as ''desperate'' and ''scum''"
Not guilty. Interesting times ahead..... Some heads surely on chopping blocks now....
Interesting times indeed Grant...wonder how the Integrity Unit comes to grips with this decision...and how does Bentley become immune from prosecution...must have been some great deals cut here...Bennett might have had good legal representation (and fully entitled to defend his name to the hilt) but for the Crown to rely on an already heavily discredited Bentley makes a mockery of the legal system and their attempts to prove the case in a court of law. A case doomed to failure. The full story when reported will also be interesting reading. HRNSW cannot be expected to wear the brunt of the loss, this is a completely different jurisdiction. Anyhow G Bennett is not guilty, this is now a proven fact.

It is hard to believe a grub like Bentley was given immunity in this situation. He threw plenty of mud not stopping below the CEO. From his comments, he obviously had very low regard for the industry and I hope he enjoys his $1.8 million inheritance. I still cannot believe that the police deceided to do a deal. Hopefully they will find some other charges to slap on him.
That is the biggest disgrace of all. In my eyes, he is by far and away the worst perpetrator of this corruption and is clearly lower than snake guts. He couldnt even get consistency in his lies. Those in charge have some serious questions to ask themselves now. Some of the people investigating these things spend that much time thinking about and searching for corruption they have become paranoid look for it in places where common sense shows its not there. Who in there right mind would think Bentley would make a credible witness? Even Dennis Denuto would tear apart his testimony! Unfortunately I think some stewards roaming NSW now policing our industry in a similar way, based on heresay of untrustworthy individuals.
