    Check out the horses at the rear of the field when they enter the straight in the R4 trot at Swan Hill last night
    Ashley Ainsworth seems to have got a little angry at being given a flat tyre
    Stewards apparently gave him 15mths - some think he got off light

    It has now been 6 weeks - why would an adjourned inquiry take so long? (see post 401)

    With Gaita's record I would have expected 12 years not 12 months

    Seems to be an addiction. Can't say anymore as the RAD would not comment on the evidence given by the psychologist.

    There is no place in our industry for people like this. She should be banned for life so that she can find another occupation !
    Don't die wondering !

    Agree, but do you honestly think that would work? Seems incapable of grasping the reality that the game has moved on from her ways long ago.

    The Stewards Report includes:

    Josh Duggan, driver of Islandspecialmajor was questioned regarding the reasons for Loveisamyth obtaining the position in advance of Islandspecialmajor passing the 1900m. Mr Duggan explained that passing the 2000m he became aware that Keayang Da Vinci, which was racing in advance, had paced roughly and almost broken gait and as a result he was reluctant to trail the runner ahead closely. Mr Duggan further explained that Islandspecialmajor hung in entering the turn and as a result of these two occurrences, Loveisamyth was able to obtain the position in advance of Islandspecialmajor.

    Chris Alford, driver of Loveisamyth, was questioned regarding the reasons for Loveisamyth obtaining the position in advance of Islandspecialmajor passing the 1900m and further, his reasons for directing Loveisamyth out to improve three wide without cover approaching the 1100m. Mr Alford explained that he was instructed by connections to drive Loveisamyth forward at the start however, the gelding failed to begin as quickly as anticipated and due to runners drawn to his inside showing superior speed Loveisamyth was caught three wide during the early stages. Mr Alford explained mindful of the instructions issued by connections, he directed Loveisamyth out three wide to improve when runners drawn behind commenced to improve forward. This matter was adjourned to allow Stewards the opportunity to review the explanations tendered by Mr Duggan and Mr Alford and review any other relevant matter.


    Both horses are from the Lilley stable so the above is the long form of saying that they were 'team driving' and suggesting it was always Alford's role to cart Duggan's horse up
    This will be a real test of our integrity as it involves our leading driver

    The other strange one at this meet was R3 where Ryan Duffy chose not to use the sprint lane and copped 4 weeks for this brain freeze

    The result

    "During the adjournment Trainers representative Mr Bevan Kelly was interviewed relative to the instructions issued to Mr Alford where the instructions were confirmed to be to drive Loveisamyth forward if possible.

    Extensive review of the wagering information was undertaken which failed to identify any area of concern.

    Upon consideration of the matters Stewards could not be satisfied that the actions of Mr Duggan at the 1900 were unacceptable as it was evident Keayang Da Vinci, which was positioned in advance, had paced very roughly on two occasions and Islandspecialmajor hung in rounding the first turn which resulted in Islandspecialmajor being positioned closer to the marker pegs and Loveisamyth being able to gain purchase on the position as a consequence.

    Stewards could not be satisfied that the tactics adopted by Mr Alford were entirely unreasonable in the circumstances. In arriving at this decision Stewards were mindful of the instructions issued and the minimal use made of Loveisamyth prior to improving three wide."


    Laughable - have a look at how interested Alford (4) was in taking up a forward position coming off the gate
    and he then remembered that he was supposed to take up a forward position a lap later (or when his stablemate was ready to make a move)

    Sure he is our leading driver but if you are going to allow team driving you are undermining the integrity of our sport

    The adjourned inquiry for R5 at Mildura last night might make interesting reading in the future
    I heard that the dueling continued off the track
    Amazing that the fav still nearly won despite all the work
