It would be interesting to know which part of Rule 240 was broken - If any inducement was offered to Jack then the 12 mths should have been 12 years

Are the stewards really achieving anything?
We have two Gp2's at Melton tonight won by
Cruz Bromac trained by the not so long ago suspended Michael Braun and partly owned by S Kaplan and until recently partly owned by Harvey
Bling It On trained by JP McCarthy because BJ McCarthy has been stood down and until recently part owned by Harvey (and still part owned by the father of a HRNSW Executive member - a little awkward in my book)
As you will see from this story, Adam owned or once owned a Bling but reports that the AJ that part owns Bling It On is his father

Nathan Jack now copping a whack
I really am starting to think that Harvey was very lucky to get off with 12mths
So how is this not race fixing ? Why are the police not involved ?
I'd guess the content of the messages between the parties and how that content would stand up to legal scrutiny would have a significant bearing on what charges were laid, what penalties were handed down and any potential advancement of the "case" to Police for criminal investigation.
It's not a real flash look is it when a prominent owner of Group class horses and an equally prominent driver are caught up in something like this. It can make small fry like myself wonder about the foolishness of our endeavours.
I'm certain the parties feel like they've been punished......but what about the rest of us that feel like we are being short changed and are sick of seeing our game being further diminished by the actions of a few.
I reckon it's about time people who have been found guilty of multiple breaches of the integrity rules of this game are just plain rubbed out.
I agree with you whole heartedly Dan , the only small question I have is your reserved comment "the actions of a few". I draw your attention to the stewards wrap !!!!!
I noticed this the other day

Is Harvey back into harness ownership?
Of course he could have been back for years and I wouldn't have noticed other than for Victoria
