Hi Jaimie . No one has been found guilty as yet . We learnt our lesson and as far as that "other stable" is concerned , things are quite amicable . We met at Newcastle the other week and he asked us how we were doing . No problems or hard feelings there at all . You need to let go Triple . My post was about Collin and Cheryl . No one else .

Trish, do you know if there's any Rule that covers unsolicited Third Party involvement/influence/pressure being brought to bear with regard to the Driver choices of other Owners?

On the other point i have been involved in insiderail.com/forum for a long time now and the interest in harness racing has never been lower.I see it every day with comments members on there make and the main reason seems to me to be the dominance of stables so people dont bet on a lot of the races mainly Cramp in Mildura which used to be one of our popular tracks now interest zero.
I personaly have a lot of success in Nsw country and Newcastle as well.

Hi Jaimie
No I don't. Maybe ask Harvey he has his finger on the pulse. Let me know if you find out.

But arent they guilty already because they have a 'positive', and are waiting for the sentence? After that they have to prove their innocence? Is that correct?

Hi Leigh
NO.
A positive does not make them guilty, believe me.
maybe its a bit like being arrested for a crime, you still have your day in court.

And not all of them are let out on bail are they???
So if they're stood down, their stood down...
I kinda like it because it should go somewhere to stop the ridiculous adjournment of enquiries all the time and the constant appeals on a stay of precedings when they're very unlikely to succeed!!!

The rules relating to presenting a horse to race with a prohibited substance, or in case of excess of a set threshold, in its system is a rule of absolute liability. Stewards only have to present the evidence in the form of an analysts certificate confirming the presence of the prohibited substance. It is on that basis that stand downs are applied.


Such situations in no way reflect a day in the criminal court.

Absolutley true Tony, but its a real issue, that affects real races, with real ramifications hey? not just a "media story". this particularly dangerous substance has been used by quite a few trainers as I alluded to some time ago. Told you so. More "victims" to come, as I also told you.
