    Was anyone else surprised at the choice of Amanda Turnbull as the replacement driver for suspended Mark Pitt on Hurricane Harley?

    Couldn't it be seen as thumbing your nose at the Integrity Team? Or am I drawing a long bow?

    I can see where your coming from but it’s a bit of a stretch. Bottom line is court determine insufficient evidence to proceed against Amanda and she is as available to drive as any other driver, and in this instance more available to drive then other drivers of similar ilk as they already had long standing commitments to other horses. I think Amanda may train one or two now for Lauriston bloodstock as well.

    Look at available drivers Stewarts use and Pitt and Jack are out and G Lang seems to be out of favour since the Hectorjayjay days (but did drive Demon Delight) so its really just Alford left, while Van Der Brande gets the 2nd stringers.
    Just going for who they think is the best available driver. Could hardly argue there is a better freelance driver around to pick.

    I am extremely disappointed that this type of innuendo is aired on this forum. For those that need to know Amanda is not only one of the best freelance drivers in the industry but also a long time friend . We put the best drivers on our horses wherever possible and this was no exception. Accusations of this nature do not help our industry and are an insult to our integrity.

    I knew it was being a little controversial but it really seemed a strange coincidence.
    I cannot say I thought it was anything more than that but wondered whether the stewards would be bemused at how things turn out

    At no point did I think AT was selected for that reason but when we talk about what 'helps our industry' don't we have to consider how things can look
    Eg. When a driver suspended over very serious allegations is replaced by the partner of his accused, who was someone that was also questioned early in the investigation

    Whatever became of this pre-trial hearing?

    I see Nathan received a $1500 fine for:

    Mr Jack’s attendance at the Shepparton
    Harness Racing Club trial meeting on 21 February 2019 when Mr Jack was
    subject to an order of the HRV Stewards which excluded him from attending all
    racecourses.

    I have lost track of where we are at with this trio, a result of the system or lack of
    I received a pm which thought their appeals may be coming up this month

    We will have to keep checking HRA's Steward news as this is the only place we are likely to find any updates

    There has not been much there of late - too many people on holidays?
