    You get the feeling that Moody may be starting to realize he is knee deep in manure

    I continue to hope this cobalt saga will have positive consequences for racing in the longer term, but there seems to be a common denominator with many people who have fallen foul of the extremely forgiving levels permitted........"not my fault"


    FFS if your horse has a level that is MANY times higher than what can naturally occur and over the extremely lenient levels acceptable......it IS YOUR FAULT.....hoof supplements indeed! must have been a massive problem!!!???

    Greg, we are supposed to be 'just' but life penalties would surely seem more acceptable as the future cheats may not join our industry or go down that path.
    Unfortunately wherever money is to be made, a small or not so small number of people will cheat - in every walk of life. Where there is no money to be made, such people will cheat by cutting corners, not doing a proper days work or help themselves to things they shouldn't etc etc
    Even good people can end up compromised, they love the game so much that they tell themselves they will just do this one little thing this one time so that they can survive. They can even kid themselves that they are still horse lovers
    The closest racing ever came to pure was its origins - where one owner raced another but even then there were no doubt bastards to be found.
    A huge number of our participants have been found guilty of cheating and are yet still 'respected' in our industry.
    I like idea of life penalties but they are highly unlikely to happen - maybe we can get away with 15 yrs for second offences
    If you do not think about the good stories it can become depressing

    This thread is going to get to 100.000 views shortly.I do think it is important to let people know whats going on and dont protect big names in the sport if they have a positive let people know as cobalt is dangerous in high doses in horses.Read today that it can cause the hoof disease laminitis which is what caused Black Cavairs first foal to be put down.By the way not suggesting the foal was subject to cobalt just pointing out how dangerous it is.

    There are some things in that article that read particularly ugly Kev. Good to see the authorities are meeting it all head on.
