I am informed someone in Mildura was caught with the drone doing exactly that!
Thanks MJ, it would certainly seem to be a minefieldQuote:

I think that generally:
1. If the horse is determined to be clear of any drug then it should be permitted to race.
2. The MANAGER or TRAINER should be disadvantaged before the OWNER.
Possible exceptions:
Where an OWNER is defrauding iin concert with MANAGERS and TRAINERS.
Was it ever made known that Nathan Turnbull was stood down on April 18?Quote:

This trainer had his horses scratched from Bathurst on April 19 but I do not remember any explanation
Why is that? (or did I just miss it?)
Kevin, some participants were aware through rumour and asked the same question as to why it wasn't published per the standard procedure in announcing the majority of irregularities.Quote:

Just so long as procedures are consistent
Did anyone read anywhere what levels??

I think we would have to be a bit naïve to think that it wasn't here already Kevin. And probably other things , so far the cheaters have been one step ahead.
IMO cheaters are destroying the industry. AND personally I don't think its going very good. Do you?
I was thinking the same about it being here Trish
As far as how we are going, I had a reminder of the gulf between codes last Saturday.
Thanks to relies by marriage, I was a guest in the Committee Room at Flemington
The Room (multi rooms actually) is huge and was packed. I have been to the New Members and the Old Members before. I did not venture out but no doubt these huge rooms/spaces were full too - full of people, most of whom have plenty of spending money.
This is an average meet near on Winter
I know Ray Chaplin has said it many times before (more eloquently) - we need to attract people with 'spending money'
At the same time I cannot help but think that we have what I see as a huge advantage over the gallops - our small tracks not only don't require binocs or a large screen TV to know what is going on but actually have the potential to create a lot more excitement than the gallops where half the action happens half a suburb away
I hope I am not sounding like a snob but the entertainment industry we are in, demands a first class event to attract the big dollars that the gallops and AFL do. Some will say they are finding it harder too of late but it sure didn't look like struggle street.
This does not mean we don't need ordinary folk like our good selves but we need a complete cross-section of society if we are to remain mainstream
We have to create passion for harness racing
ps One of my bros-in-law that was also there on Saturday, he was the one who introduced me to harness racing some 45+ yrs ago, asked me about Melton - he said it was too far for him to go (he lives in an East Melbourne suburb)

Boris Devcic - 9mths
Mark Purdon......http://www.harness.org.au/news-artic...?news_id=34046
Jason Proctor....http://www.harness.org.au/news-artic...?news_id=31047
Above both Mark & Jason were charged with rule 194......ok fair enough. But why did one get a $3000 fine & the other a 6 month suspension ??? Just asking??
We don't know what the substance was for Mark Purdon, ideally you would like to see releases contain such information, but maybe it was a consideration. Possibly the guilty plea helped?
Now getting emails about this one.
How many SUBSTANCES were involved?
What was being injected? Charge 1
What was in the atomiser? Charge 2
What did he procure and store? Charge 3
It would be nice to know as people are wondering whether this winner of MILLIONS has been getting an unfair edge
The horse was probably being treated for a "medical condition", so I don't expect an explanation will be forthcoming.
People would be wondering if the treatments were in relation to this http://www.harness.org.au/news-artic...?news_id=32685
Thanks for finding that one Wayne, that is certainly relevant.
It talks about a deep seated corn being identified following the trial on Feb 14
The charges that MP has been fined for were prior to this on Feb 13
Thanks again to HRNSW Chairman of Stewards Graham Lock for emailing me the following explanation.
Serum is the key word. I have included a definition as well as the one in Graham's snip that I have attached (I hope it copies a bit larger this time)
The clear yellowish fluid obtained upon separating whole blood into its solid and liquid components after it has been allowed to clot. Also called blood serum.
I think many have read 'veterinary product' in the charges and thought serum could mean any liquid
It is great to have a Chairman prepared to clarify things for us
They must be aware that people are very interested in these reports so why not just put the relevant information in the one article. The article should be then published online regardless of who the trainer or driver is. This removes any perception that trainer A gets an advantage or a lesser penalty than Trainer B.

Xylometazoline is a spray for nasal congestion
Interesting to see some of the American posts on this article (about 100 of them). A lot of it sounds similar to Australia and the same frustrations, people giving away the sport, authorities not acting strongly enough, cheats prospering.

Generally speaking as part of the testing process how many things can they actually test in one go? Not too mention at one point they didnt know to test for Cobalt and there is still, to my knowledge, no test for Xenon and Argon gas.Quote:
