not that outraged TBM, hes better off earning a living shovelling the sh!t at menangle then being the patsy for his old man to be having a punt, he might even learn enough to get a job away from the horses and the morris name
From HRNSW:
Peter Morris Jnr disqualified for 18 months
Wednesday 24 August 2011
Trainer Mr. Peter Morris JNR pleaded guilty to a charge under Rule of Racing 190 (1),(2) & (4) in that as the trainer of TULLIES RETURN he did present that horse to race in race 4, the Austrain Academy Pace at the Bulli at Menangle meeting on Monday, 15 August, 2011 when a blood sample taken from it prior to the race upon analysis revealed a Total Plasma Carbon Dioxide level above the threshold.
Mr Morris was disqualified for a period of 18 months effective immediately.
Although Mr Morris is disqualified, HRNSW will permit him to continue to perform his duties for the NSW Harness Racing Club under strict conditions.
In considering penalty, stewards took into account Mr Morris previous record, his guilty plea and his current domestic circumstances.
TULLIES RETURN was disqualified from its 4th placing under Rule of Racing 195 from the above mentioned race.
Does anyone find the middle bit astonishing? The Morris family have a fairly interesting record when it comes to positives. Any positive brings the industry into disrepute. YET he is allowed to continue to 'work' for the Menangle Club?
That is a disgrace. An absolute disgrace. The NSW industry is a leper unwilling to seek treatment. Just allow things to continually eat away at it.
Added to that Old Man Morris doesn't mind pointing the finger at people because he cannot get a winner these days. Maybe he should sort out his own backyard first where the record sheet makes for ugly reading.

They got their farewell present with Steel Burg the other night.
What an absolute disgrace.
Disqualified but still able to make a living from the sport and the participants he cheated.
How is this going to affect the public perception of our sport that is already in crisis?
Its a joke.
Merry-go-round....
Junior out and Senior Back In! How many times have we seen this in the past 5 - 10 years!
Jesus Wept.
I would also like to know how many times has JNR been caught now? I can re-call one with Ashlee's Babe, where there any others?
What happens if you are a full time trainer and you get a positive swab?
You are disqualified. You lose your livehihood for the disqualified period.
However, if you happen to have a job with the NSWHRC you are allowed to keep your job with them. Seems like a massive clash of interest there.
Even better: what a good example set for the sport, employ those that give it a decent black eye. And it aint the first time the bloke has smacked the sport in the face but hell, give the bloke a job.
Maybe it is a CV prerequisite.
Beyond belief really, but then again that is harness racing in NSW. It never ceases to amaze.
What can we personally do to express our outrage , other than here , that he is still employed at Menangle? Anyone with ideas?
I could not care less about "his current domestic circumstances". He should have thought about that before he tried to cheat punters and other owners and trainers. He didn't give a stuff about any of their "domestic circumstances".
A cheat's a cheat. Get him completely out of the industry! Shovelling sh!t is too good for him.

In complete agreement with you all.
That's like standing next to your lettebox, dutifully holding a roll toilet paper...whilst someone backs up, drops his dacks and takes a crap in it.
