Well, here's a chance to really hit one out of the park then.
Bases loaded. Designated Hitter on deck. Pitcher's got nothin'.

Flame tempered Hickory in hand. Coach has signalled swing away.
That was amazing, like they were doing trackwork the last 100m. Should get 6 months straight away.
Just as long as the full-time form analyst doesn't come from this forum
Watched the race live on Sky. Almost choked on my Iced VoVo biscuit as they were coming to the line.
Could not believe what I was seeing and had to replay a couple of times to make sure I did not need new glasses or was going senile. Cannot recall a more blatant case of team driving than this. Last thing we need. No excuses , a lengthy ban is needed. Driver of second horse must have a sore neck as all he seemed to want to do was look to the right and make sure there was nothing coming to attack the leader.
Those in Sydney , I suppose you saw the news item early on last night's Channel 7 news about the current harness scandal. Showing the industry in a VERY bad light to the general public yet again. Alas , this terrible publicity is going to get a lot worse in the coming months.

Wouldn't a full time form analyst also be a punter? A punter working with the stewards would be getting into dangerous ground?
The stewards are good enough form analysts already? Thats why they are good at enforcing the "Change of tactics" rule (I'm being sarcastic Triple!!)
Hahahaha shit mate; I hope VVV didn't have a heart attack before he read the bracketed bit.Quote:

With whats been going on this bloke obviously has no regard for anyone besides himself and simply thinks that he is above and beyond anyone and everyone else. My 3 week old kitten could of spotted that one. Kick him out, throw away the key and give him a maccas application form on the way out because thats all he deserves. Is beyond me why someone like G Bennet would even want to be seen near him let alone driving for him in circumstances like that.
We can't say anything about the Greg Bennett drive. He drove to win the race , like all drivers are supposed to do.
Unfortunately the driver of the second horse and "co-incidentally" also the trainer of first and second , from that drive , seems to have other ideas about why he is competing. An absolute disgrace of a drive.
Just showed a replay in the straight to a an elderly neighbour who would not know one end of a horse from another and she spotted it straight off. "Did he drop his whip?"
I know Bennett did nothing wrong. It will be interesting to see if G Bennett drives for him again..
