Further reports circulating, suggesting this was not simply a mix up
If its website is anything to go by HRSA is terminal. If you look at the Welfare and Integrity menu nothing at all is recorded for 2021.Quote:

And, yes Kev, it appears the absent through illness trainer of the horses involved may only have been absent through illness when the stewards became aroused.
HRSA Stewards have continued their investigations into the circumstances in which the registered horse LETS GET SHORTY contested Race 5 at Globe Derby Park on Saturday 4th September 2021 in place of stablemate, JAKE SPORTSWRITER.
On Wednesday 8 September 2021 Stewards heard further evidence from Trainers S Loone and W Gowley and Stablehand A Ward as well as the drivers who drove the three Loone trained runners, W Hill, D Smith and MA Smith. The Steward’s investigations have been widened to include whether subsequent to Race 5 there was an attempt by parties to conceal the substitution.
During the hearing Mr Loone explained that he had intended to only transport horses to and from the race meeting as advised but acknowledged he had spent a short period on course.
In addition, Stewards have ordered the registered horses JAKE SPORTWRITER and LETS GET SHORTY be stood down for a period of twenty-eight days which will remain subject to review.
Records from all betting agencies which operated on the Globe Derby race meeting are being examined together with the Pari-Mutuel records for Trifecta, Pick 4 and Quadrella betting.
In addition, Stewards have sought an independent investigation by SAPOL Officers to access broader powers of investigation to identify whether potential breaches of the Criminal Law Consolidation Act [SA] have occurred. SAPOL will examine whether breaches of Sections of the Act including 144H—Engaging in conduct that corrupts betting outcome of event; 144I—Facilitating conduct that corrupts betting outcome of event; and 144J—Concealing conduct or agreement.
HRSA’s approach to SAPOL occurred following ongoing discussions regarding cooperation between the parties and indicates that the Stewards and HRSA Board are committed to ensuring a thorough, independent investigation into this matter. Results of the full investigation are pending and will be released once finalised.

I think we can be satisfied that this is being thoroughly investigated
This is truly pathetic - SA can no longer afford $6,999 races at metro Globe Derby meets anymore

PeterProfit makes a good point that Globe Derby is going to struggle for numbers (eg last Saturday) when their reduced prizemoney makes going over the border (eg Mildura) a more attractive proposition
This might help
[I]“HRSA making the Cups just for horses trained here is the reason we bought him,” Hryhorec said. “He’s a pretty nice horse which is capable of earning good money during the Cup carnival["/I]

A big positive
Last Friday a Race Day Agreement was signed by both parties that will see a commitment between HRSA and the premier club, SAHRC at Globe Derby, for the next five years, providing stability and confidence for the industry and stakeholders.

I think Archie (PP) might be hallucinating this morning but I will have to wait and see as he is doing his analysis of "In 50 years of harness racing I have never seen a more blatant fix" in parts and we are still awaiting the explanation.
He is referring to R1 at Globe Derby on Saturday night where the horse in the death jumps and dismantles the field, also checking the winner so I cannot wait for the explanation. Definitely not your standard fix LOL
He thinks half the drivers were in on it and the Chief Steward :confused: and likely the caller knew what was going on

SA needs to find someone who can write a balanced article
