I cannot remember their HRV penalty - or were they waiting for the police case to conclude?

I think hrv were waiting for the legal system to punish them first. Now hopefully they will charge them and give them at least 10 years. Again the courts have failed to give penalties that fit the crime.

Really interesting when you go back and watch Race 6 on 29th October 2014, Odds on pop is 1x1 and strangely gallops, I didn't have a bet this night and I know the horse very well as I bred him but was totally disgusted but not for the first time, The Cramps have been dealt with very lightly so now we just have to wait and see if HRV metes out the punishment.

I once told a small business owner I was interested in buying a pacer. His reply "What cheats in chariots" ................. oops

G'day Jim, Yes the Game still carries that type of stigma from long ago but wouldn't it be great if it was all above board, On the odd occasion i will pop into the local TAB and it really cuts deep when you hear some clown say, Oh the bloody redhots or something along those lines but I guess that we have to live with that and just hope that sooner or later everyone wakes up and we can all have a bit of fun on an even playing field.

Hi Rich Yeah wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up! I don't bet too often but when I do I would like to think I'm losing my hard earned by my own hand and not by someone playing cowboys and indians with a Panzer

6 of the Best for both and seems a fitting punishment.
