Why NOT just do the time? Is that what you meant Steve?
She obviously did not expect that penalty, I guess
On 8 June 2021, the NSW Racing Appeals Tribunal granted Ms Turnbull a Stay. Consequently, the hearing for the Supreme Court injunction was vacated.Quote:

BUT you will have to look up the Rules to find out why
https://integrity.thetrots.com.au/ne...on-ryan-duffy/
193. (1) A person shall not attempt to stomach tube or stomach tube a horse nominated for a race or event within 48 hours of the commencement of the race or event.
Apology - there was a link to full decision

Don't you love/hate the way they refer to each other as Mr Adams, Mr Day - even our pollies don't refer to their colleagues as Mr Morrison, Mr Frydenburg but I suppose they use their titles a bit, PM etc
Seeing a Bentley as Steward in NSW brings back some green light memoriesQuote:

Three blind mice doing the stewards jobs I fear. No questions asked of the three drivers on the most favoured horses or the connections of the well plunged winner. I've seen more competitive track work than this race. Such a poor look.Quote:

Interesting to watch the neck of the leader on the pegs who seems to make room for the held up favourite to get out in the straight after his driver looks to the right but it is probably an illusion as the stewards didn’t see anything
And how did Kevin Pizzuto find so much improvement in Ready To Bloom in the space of a week after an ordinary 8th last week. So much so that he started in the red despite not having won for 2yrs
http://www.harness.org.au/racing/fie...21#MEC22062115
Once again no questions asked in the stewards report
And no pre-race blood test either. Backed into the red, nothing to see here! I see the trainer has already been charged in March for a positive to the same corticosteroid that Amanda Turnbull was outed for. Takes an extremely great trainer to produce a struggling plodder second up and pull of a plunge to win so easily after just 6 weeks in their care. Or not.Quote:

NSW is a basketcase going backwards at a rate of knots and losing lifelong industry participants
Merge HRNSW with South Australia, what do you reckon?Quote:

Keep the replay running to see the head on. It is interesting to note that the 2nd place-getter seemed to have a tendency to run off itself

This is from Oct 13 last year R1 Bendigo
When considering the circumstances of the race and the statements of the driver, stewards did not feel the tactics adopted were so unreasonable as to warrant further action. A post-race veterinary examination was conducted on the gelding, with no obvious abnormalities detected. Stewards intend to analyse the wagering data of the event.
This is the Supplementary Report that covers Oct 13
http://www.harness.org.au/media-room...?news_id=45450
No mention of the wagering analysis
Where does one find the stewards decision on their analysis?
ps This is the race link
http://www.harness.org.au/racing/fie...20#BNC13102004
HRV Chairman of Stewards Brett Day was kind enough to supply me with an answer to the above.
If there were to be charges/follow up action due to wagering analysis we would find it in a Supplementary Report
Commencing today, two Police officers will be seconded to the Office of the Racing Integrity Commissioner for six months and will work with the racing codes and broader industry to better understand the criminal and integrity risks within Victorian racing.

Have a look at the race

Lee and IMO Alford (to a lesser extent) pretty lucky to get away with these drives
I have read elsewhere that they only took 34.3 to the 1200m mark (checked and correct)Quote:

We will have to wait and see why Lisa Miles received no enforced penalty (other than trainer/driver share of first) as it takes a week for VRT written decisions to be posted
One thing I do know however is the owners just lost the lion's share of $3,990. You would think that warranted some penalty

This is the lowdown on Synephrine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synephrine
I hope it isn't one of those stories that the horse got into the orange orchard
All may be explained satisfactorily when the ruling is posted
You would think that a summary of the reasons could be posted with the story release instead of -
"We will tell you why next week"
Read about this elsewhere
From R6 Albion Park yesterday
Have a look at how dad on No.2 gives up the 1x1 to his son No.5 who was stuck wide
http://www.harness.org.au/racing/fie...21#APC13072106
The stewards took no action!
Dads might but our industry does itself no favours
Pulled the 1x1 horse back so hard he banged his head with the winner, which had to check off him. Stewards didn't see any of this, apparently. Perhaps they were patting their Labradors at the time.Quote:

If you watch the finish of the Qld Oaks you will see pretty damning evidence of Michael Stanley hocking Soho Broadway - not exactly the actions of a horse lover
There is an adjourned Stewards Inquiry
From Tuesday's Albion Park Stewards Report
Supplementary Report:
The inquiry set down for today with driver Michael Stanley from Saturday 24th July 2021, Race 6, the TAB 2021 Queensland Oaks, was postponed to a time and date to be determined.
http://www.harness.org.au/racing/ste...l/?mc=AP270721
Inspired by this year's Tasmanian Cup no doubt. And if he says his foot just slipped and he was trying to get his foot back......phhtt! Pull the other one. After watching the replay several times he deserves a long spell on the sidelines.
Yes Trev, that kicking action is hard to believe. You have to wonder what happened to his brain, did he forget about racing being all about telecasts, replays, cameras :confused:
If he does get suspended make the most of it and back his horses that have a driver change Stanley off and another driver on. Case in point Sohol Bollinger last two starts.
seems a lot of open enquiries in NSW from last year , surely these enquiries could be sped up 8-12 months after getting a positive swab you can still be training seems a bit ridiculous
The Douglas stable is dominating down here in Vic David.
We are coming up 1000 days since Glenn and Ellen T's offence for which they were disqualified but are yet to serve
Oh wait but it is Julie not Glenn training them all :rolleyes:
What do you make of Jack Trainor's drive on the $1.45 fav in R8 at Menangle, he is on Hugo George behind the leader
http://www.harness.org.au/racing/fie...21#PCC10082104
It would appear no questions from the stewards
RACE 8 – EVEKARE ASSISTED LIVING PACE – 1609 metresQuote:

Mr Trainor advised Stewards that the gelding was new to his stable and he hoped to lead in the event however he was unsure of the gate speed possessed by the gelding. Mr Trainor advised Stewards that MAJOR OBAHMA had begun better to his outside and he did not want to get into a speed dual with that runner in the early stages and elected to take a sit on that runner’s back and hoped to outsprint MAJOR OBAHMA over the concluding stages. Mr Trainor explained that as a result of the tempo being slower than expected GIVEMEFIVEMINUTESMORE NZ had continued to stick on to the outside of MAJOR OBAHMA longer than he expected and as a result approaching the 400 metres he commenced to restrain his gelding somewhat to give him an alternative option of shifting wider across the back of GIMMEFIVEMINUTESMORE NZ in case a run didn’t present to the inside or outside of the leader. Mr Trainor further explained that at the point passing the 250 metres both runners continued to maintain their position and he made a conscious decision to shift HUGO GEORGE NZ wider as a run had not fully developed between MAJOR OBAHMA and GIMMEFIVEMINUTESMORE NZ at that stage. After considering the explanation provided by Mr Trainor and reviewing the available films, in particular the head on footage of the home straight, which confirmed that Mr Trainor had commenced his shift up the track prior to Mr Green applying the whip to MAJOR OBAHMA in the home straight and that runner responding to his driving ensuring that a full run becoming available for HUGO GEORGE NZ to progress between MAJOR OBAHMA and GIVEMEFIVEMINUTESMORE NZ, and as a result believed the tactics of Mr Trainor at this stage of the event were reasonable in all the circumstances and determined to note his comments.

At the very least it was a terrible drive

I can't see you winning your appeal Michael, I would consider taking the suspension considering that racing could easily close down in the next 3 months.
I am not condoning his actions or wanting him to escape penalty, just saying it might be a smart move
If you knew the full facts you would also appeal. Its an extremely harsh penalty
Maybe Carol, PeterProfit is in agreement with you, but in this day and age his chances are slim (I don't think you could put a whip between your wife's legs without first asking) and my suggestion was simply a tactical one
