    Jess Tubbs does not receive a suspension for Cash Lover winning with Aminorex in its system
    Aminorex is an amphetamine-like stimulant drug banned in racing and other equestrian competitions because horses given clinical doses would be hyperactive and may perform better.

    http://www.harness.org.au/media-room...?news_id=44219

    In considering penalty, the VRT accepted the distinct possibility that the presence of aminorex in the sample obtained from ‘Cash Lover’ on 8 January 2020 was a result of the horse ingesting plants from the Brassicaceae family found to be present in the paddock where it was housed prior to the race.

    Unfortunately we will have to wait at least a week for the further link to the decision to be up so that we can see why she gets away with this

    Damien Wilson very lucky to get his 8 weeks reduced to 4 weeks

    The VRT fell for a sob story despite stating

    You would appreciate that it is not a good look, to put it mildly, for a driver of your talent and
    experience to be behaving in this way to a very young driver who is just commencing his
    career. General deterrence is an important factor. Drivers, and particularly experienced
    drivers, must not behave in this fashion.


    Have a look at the replay of the finish and you just see it before they go out of frame - clearly bullying

    The ruling is now up and includes:

    You have been in the harness racing industry for most of your life. You and your partner have 135 acres, on which, currently there are 50 horses. You have been employed in the harness racing industry and are currently employed in the greyhound industry at the Meadows as the Racing and Marketing Manager. You have an excellent record, and, as stated very fairly by Mr Anderson on behalf of the Stewards, you have a very good name in the industry.
    As stated, we accept that this positive swab came as a great shock to you and we agree completely that you in no way had any intention to cheat. The whole affair was totally accidental, and you have taken positive measures to get rid of the problem.

    Maybe she should have been suspended for working for the dish-lickers

    Thats a disgrace!
    Should be talking months not weeks.
    Could not be any worse look for the game, if they weren’t out the back you would be talking months.
    From memory one of the ainsworth boys got done for similar thing a year or 2 back. There was contact on that occasion but from memory he got 3 or 6 months.

    Tassie are suggesting that they might no be so understanding

    "Trainers are put on notice that environmental contamination (through ingestion of plants) will not
    necessarily be considered a significant penalty mitigating factor for presentation of a horse with Aminorex in
    a sample in the future. "

    Brad Chisholm chose to let No 12 Kyvalley Barney score up in a 3rd line posn in the R2 trot instead of outside the 2nd line
    It cannot be allowed - we need heavy fines or suspensions for this

    Peaces Of You, Final Peace.
    Kevin, my question is why did the starter allow Kyvalley Barney to score up out of position ? It should be a false start, why do they constantly fail at their job? Many drivers now know they will be allowed to start out of position and are happy to take the fine !

    Lochinvar Art also started out of position to ensure he didn't get boxed in.


    It should be a false start and a big fine to the driver. If they fail to take their position the second time the horse is scratched and driver finned and or suspended.
    Don't die wondering !
