But yes I agree with your sentiments
this is a f** joke..how can he receive a 3k fine for presenting fly like an eagle to the races with clenbuterol in its system
this is the 2nd time hes been caught with a bronchdilator in the system of his horses and he walks away with a fine thats a weeks wages for him
i dont care how it got in his system, this is the biggest joke of all, the horse went on to win the final (60k to the winner) when he shouldnt have even been allowed to race in the final he should have been immediately disqualified from the series
if i owned village red i would be presenting m purdons owners with a bill for 3k that they should have received for making the final if their horse wasn't beaten by a doped horse

Without knowing this case or its circumstances, I cannot believe that clenbuterol is a fine in NZ whereas one can loose a race with DMSO. THAT is the bigger joke, IMHO!!
Good luck to Mark. At least he fronts up and takes his lumps like a man which is more than I can say for most of them (Geoff Small, I'm looking in your direction) however...that is EXACTLY what I was about to Post here Flashing. Great minds think alike. That is nothing short of an ABSOLUTE FREAKING SHAM. Clenbuterol scores a fine, DMSO might see them drop what???? 400k? GIMME A BREAK!
Doesn't mean its alright to use anything illegal though just because of 'weird' scaling of consequences.
Right with you guys on this one. It's JOKE.
Have you Aussies read the report of the hearing?
No. Because it's in english.
