It is time to stop putting SC stories under a 'suspended' title - thus this new thread.
The man could be in for a big meet today
In Race 5 he has 5 of the 10 runners and Blake Redden has selected them to fill the first five

One can only assume Cramp appealed his 10 day suspension incurred at the meeting at Mildura last Friday - as he drove again today.
And copped a suspension in the first race - plus an adjourned inquiry into the run of the $1.60 fav - beaten 72 metres.
Anyone have thoughts after watching the replay?

I just started this thread to give him a clean slate so to speak
For starters there is no way known that that horse should have been that short
Opting for 2 back the fence early and not coming out when the running line was taking shape does not look great but he could probably argue that in a 6 horse race he knew he would always get a run
As for what happened next - he is probably going to plead guilty to being cute again, as the speed went on in the 3rd Q he knew he was in trouble and he thought he could save himself going wide and come up under the horse in front of him - not like that he couldn't.
Has been suspended again for the drive but I doubt the inquiry will result in anything else
[Later won 4 in a row to bank some money for the spell]

watching this replay today puts a different feel to the happenings doesnt it Kev!

I never felt it was a great drive Ash - just that it was defensible (maybe even smart?)
I do not know that I ever stated it in plain english but I thought I made it clear that I did not like some of the happenings at Mildura and I do not feel any different watching that race today than what I did months ago

Could be a big night for the stable. Craig Rail has tipped SJC to train the first 5 winners and 6 overall plus 2 seconds on the 8 race program at Mildura tonight.

Not Wrong Kev, I know it's a huge call but I wouldn't be surprised if SJC trained the program there sooner or later.

SJC is almost as hot as Shane Tritton. Trot tips tonight has 6 rated as odds on, and 2 other favourites. Only runners in 8 of the 10 so can't train the card.
Reading harness.org.au, notice SJC just got eight weeks for a losing drive
