Is this just an example of SA's diligence or ?

That is clear that their is a distinct lack of care for what is happening in SA.
Barbara should be able to show the right procedures.

Procedures like this one .... I hope not....http://www.smh.com.au/sport/horserac...0619-ynv3.html

Welcome back VOR hope the sun is shining for you.....the case you've left the link for was obviously a "balls up" from go to whoa....but there were a few balls ups in that era weren't there?
I think the biggest issue for any kind of racing where the punting dollar is involved is the power of stewards Vs the power of the legal system, ie; if your pockets are deep enough, the stipes can't beat you.

I believe there is definitely a gap between the skills required Vs, those available to keep a lid on certain current behaviours, and I'm certain this is painfully obvious to not only yourself but many others.

There is no doubt the people on the beat need support, equally administration needs to support stipes with clearer, more functional rules that will stand up to legal scrutiny.

Cheers,
Dan

There is no doubt the rules that seem quite simple are difficult to enforce when the legal eagles get hold of them.

You only have to go back to the Geoff Small tranexamic acid case from a few years back where basically a judge was able to be convinced that blood was not part of the cardo vascular system... the trick being tranexamic acid worked on the blood which was not included in the wording of the rule at that time, hence Small walked.

I feel sorry for stewards now-days in all codes, not sure why anybody would want to be one but easy to see why some leave for greener less stressful fields of endeavor.

Clearly I'm as confused as you VOR.


If my memory hasn't faded completely I recollect that Scott was interviewed by Alan Jones on 2GB and said she was terrified or something like that. I can't believe that you could be terrified driving around a trotting track at work, then whats got me Confused is that it was with a person you had wanted to pursue a proper relationship with?????? Maybe I'm missing something here?


Scott even said on that Show on SBS that she wanted to be with the bloke she said was terrifying her on 2GB. mmmm


I know its a while back but it was huge news at the time and everyone, me included thought it was just as Scott had portrayed. Not so sure now.
Wonder whatever come of Kevin Adams, I heard through a friend that he was in QLD. Has he been sighted since he lost his job?


Anyway SA will keep her very busy

Well no news there Jones is a shock jock....

Kevin Adams has not been lost to the industry... soon after leaving HRNSW of his own volition he was appointed as the official starter at Newcastle Trots I assume he is still there ... he was the last time I ventured to the trots.
