I suggest it has got more to do with the greyhounds saga than the Cobalt one.
They have named a north Qld gallops trainer for using cobalt chloride no presumption of innocence there.
Does anyone know what happened to the Tyndall and Chapple Appeals last week.
I am guessing by the fact that the HRNSW stewards PR machine has not released a media release either they did not get the result they wanted or there has been an adjournment. Suspension or confirmation of suspension media release in 24 hours. Otherwise NOTHING!!!!!
I actually attended the Industrial Relations Court last week and heard some of these hearings.
Dean Chapple got an adjournment to obtain further evidence so it is not going to occur for at least a month, it was all over fairly swiftly.
I saw some of the Noel Tyndall appeal and I must say after an hour and a half had to leave. The appeal was all about legal technicalities and I got the impression was going to take a long time to resolve. I think the fact that the Day/McDowell appeal in the court system is still ongoing will make it very difficult to resolve some of the issues that were raised.
Thanks for the update Boydy but I see the HRNSW site is yet to update the Appeals Pending or give a media release with regards these 2 cases. Although the Detention Barn got its own media release. I am amazed how many people accept this rubbish. Or maybe its only the vocal minority.
I take my hat off to ray Murrihy he knows how to fight the good fight and does not make it a personal crusade.
Darren Smith deserves everything he gets for injecting his horses with a substance provided from a disqualified person but Murrihy is smart enough to know he can still give him a massive penalty without having to go down the long road of court litigation debating the specifics of cobalt levels etc. This issue certainly is not dead in harness racing and I am tipping it will go on for a number of years.

Darren smith found guilty 62 charges.
With the subject of court litagation didnt the connections of Smokin up use that .
