Interesting question MJ. I am profoundly deaf and never thought about whether others can actually hear drones - are they noisy?
I suppose if one was defending them you could ask whether they are anymore likely to spook a horse than say a crow or a seagull?

Thanks MJ, it would certainly seem to be a minefield

So when my $30 000 two year old is buzzed by the drone boys and bolts through a fence who do I sue?

It is currently bad enough when the aerial line surveys happen and they notify me with 28 days of INTENT TO SURVEY. Straight to the barrister.

Destiny Warrior stood down - I don't agree with the horse being stood down in these type of cases because:
1. the horse didn't intentionally consume cocaine or any drug.
2. the horse's OWNERS had no control over the management of Destiny Warrior however they are being disadvantaged.

I think that generally:
1. If the horse is determined to be clear of any drug then it should be permitted to race.
2. The MANAGER or TRAINER should be disadvantaged before the OWNER.

Possible exceptions:
Where an OWNER is defrauding iin concert with MANAGERS and TRAINERS.
