    Why would there have been a Query Driving Tactics for Race 1 winner Crusader Acey at Melton tonight?
    He handed up the lead and then used the sprint lane to win

    In Race 5 Im Barney Rubble handed up the lead and in Race 6 Shes A Runa handed up the lead - why no QDT for them? Not that I believe there should have been - just questioning what made R.1 different?

    At my first skimming read of this, I thought Mr Crapper was a horse

    On Monday 15 June 2015, Harness Racing NSW (HRNSW) Steward’s conducted an Inquiry into a report received from Racing Analytical Services LTD (RASL) that prohibited substances were detected in a urine sample obtained from Mr Crapper on Wednesday 20 May 2015 following him driving trackwork.
    A confirmatory analysis conducted by the ChemCentre in Western Australia confirmed the presence of the prohibited substances.
    Mr Crapper pleaded guilty to a charge pursuant to Australian Harness Racing Rule 252C in that he when carrying on or purporting to carry on a licensed activity, was in the opinion of Stewards, under the influence of drugs.


    Then I got down to the 'pleaded guilty' party and thought WTF. It sounds like a horse's name and if you skim over the red part you will understand my mistake LOL

    Somehow I think we have our values wrong. Kucks should have got 3mths for cruelty to the horse and $500 (+) for making the industry look bad - not the other way around. It could be construed that if he had not struck the horse in the vicinity of other people he may not have been suspended (Yes I know, if there were no other people around nobody would have known and there would have been no charges at all) I am of course assuming he did not strike the horse by way of protecting himself.

    ps In discussions on cruelty, unfortunately the post aboves subject was another example

    HRV CEO John Anderson welcomed Murray to the role.

    We know that John is not a believer in new blood

    What I do not understand is why the horse was scratched only 5 minutes before the race if they found the blood puncture wound on the neck of Sheer Rocknroll earlier in the afternoon when visiting Olivieri's stable

    I suppose what I was getting at John, is whether the stewards were umming and ahhing as to whether they scratched the horse as it got within 5mins of potentially diddling everyone.

    I do not envy the job of the stewards.
    Read the report for race 5 at Terang on July 29
    http://www.harness.org.au/stewards-r...fm?mc=TE290715

    I reckon they knew there was a lot wrong with this race but could do little more than they did
    http://www.harness.org.au/meeting-re...ic#TEC29071502

    The race was run upside down but still
    Our Bedrock who had run a Track Record the week before at Stawell was beaten 164m, admittedly he likes the short course but he was going backwards after 1200m
    Our Supreme Guy was beaten 66m and yet came out next start and won in a smart 1.56
    While Major Laugh who was asked to do it harder than these two was second only beaten a length

    What do people think?
