    Plenty of interesting info Wayne but none more so than this:

    On Friday 16 February 2018, HRNSW Stewards conducted stable inspections at registered stables in NSW for the purpose of inspecting horses competing on Saturday 17 February 2018. During an inspection, HRNSW Stewards questioned what appeared to be a needle mark and dried blood on the nearside neck of MOLLY KELLY trained by E Stewart. Today Ms Stewart and Stable representative Mr S Kettle were questioned further in relation to the nature of the mark and produced evidence in relation to all stable treatment and provided their stable treatment log book. On the balance of the evidence, Stewards were unable to conclude that any treatment was administered to MOLLY KELLY outside of the Rules which was supported by the treatment log book and evidence from Ms Stewart and Mr Kettle. As such, Stewards permitted MOLLY KELLY to take its place in the field.

    A reader posted me these thoughts:

    "So if a trainers log book doesn't indicate they administered an injection ( it's a flawed honour system at best, and what trainer is dumb enough to record an injection administered outside of the rules ) and the trainer and stable representative obviously say they didn't administer an injection then despite the stewards observing an apparent post injection site then the trainer and stable hands evidence overrides the stewards observations? I note the stewards report doesn't offer any other explanation for the apparent needle mark"

    The emboldened is my emphasis

    Kevin, seems strange that a swab was not taken from Molly Kelly on the spot. They left it until before the race giving plenty of time for masking agents to be given. Of course I'm not suggesting anything like that took place but why give the opportunity.
    Don't die wondering !

    What with the mere 3 months given to Amanda Turnbull and the lack of satisfactory explanation/action of this Stewart incident, one would hate to think that 'who you are' is ever taken into consideration - the rules are the rules, the evidence is the evidence.

    I have been assured by someone that I respect that 'who you are' is never a consideration.
    They explained the reason behind AT's 3mths as follows:

    Triamcinolone acetonide being an accepted and legitimate therapeutic substance would fall under a Class 3. The Guidelines then stipulate that a starting point for a first offence, as in this instance, is a period of disqualification of twelve (12) months. The official Stewards Report quotes Turnbull as pleading guilty for which it has become usual to recognise with a 25% reduction in penalty (3 months). Similarly the Reports states this was Turnbull's first prohibited substance offence for which it would be usual to recognise with a further 25% reduction in penalty (3 months).

    In addition the Report makes reference to (a) the " Circumstances of this matter" and (b) " Ms Turnbull’s offence record, training record and other personal subjective facts, including ambassadorial and charity roles." It would not be unusual to recognise favourable subjective aspects with a further moderation of (up to) 25% (3 months).


    I had worked on 12mths - 25% for a guilty plea, but as outlined above there are many ways to get a reduction

    A gallops odds setter sent me this one because he thought it was So Hot
    He is unsure why the change of tactics would have been approved as it only went in 15-20 mins before race
    Sackheim then blew out from $1.40 to be in the black

    He still nearly won in spite of the driver

    Where do we find the results of this questioning?
    Do NSW have Stewards Supplementary Reports like Vic does?

    From the Vic Supplementary Stewards report

    http://www.harness.org.au/media-room...?news_id=36533

    Josh Aiken and Kima Frenning may be forming an infamous dynamic duo

    Josh got 5 weeks for handing up to Kima, unexplainably according to stewards on Dec 16

    While Kima might have been very lucky to get only 3 weeks (ask Trista Dixon) for letting Josh out on Feb 14

    It could also be said that Josh may have been lucky to come away with a fine from his RAD board hearing (when compared to Amanda Turnbull)

    Have a look at the replay and the Stewards notations for this the 9th race 2YO event at Bathurst last night and please tell us what you think looks out of the ordinary.
