Oxazepam is a short-to-intermediate-acting benzodiazepine. Oxazepam is used for the treatment of anxiety and insomnia and in the control of symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. It is a metabolite of diazepam, prazepam, and temazepam, and has moderate amnesic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, hypnotic, sedative, and skeletal ...Quote:

Thank heavens the investigator took soil and vegetation samples. My favourite horse of all time was trained by the Harper's old Welcome Advice way back in thr 70's I for one await the outcome with worm on tongue
If you read this old link, you might conclude that Bruce is not as squeaky clean as he paints
http://www.harnesslink.com/News/BERN...UALIFIED-54131
to be fair to Bruce, I think you probably need to put some perspective on this......you are on the way to the races to drive a horse with the owner/ trainer and he pulls over and says " gimme a hand with this horse will you?"....I'm not too sure how I would react to be honest.Quote:

Many years ago I was travelling to a country trot meeting and pulled up on the side of the road shortly a car with 2 stewards in it pulled up and asked if anything was wrong. Told them I was just checking the horse's rug to see if it was still in place the horse won the race at 50/1.Quote:

Hi Rich, yes, I can still remember the name of the horse hadn't won a race for four years sat in the death seat over 2500 metres at Pinjarra in a top-class field. Fifty to one in the country back then was the equivalent to 100/1 in the city. Think I was 22 at the time and into my third year of training. I had $20 each way. My driver later to be a big name in the sport got a punter in on the same horse two weeks later. Started at 10/1 horse in front of him broke and knocked my bloke completely out of the race got going again and ran second no big collect though.Quote:

I really think the fine for not keeping an up to date log book of treatments should be much bigger. Many of the top stables have been done for this and it's usually a $250 fine.
i am disgusted at the miserable penalty handed out to a.jordan...this person is a drug cheat working hand in hand with the notorious g. pullacino. one can only guess at how long they were doing this before he was nailed...hrv is slowly killing trotting in vic.with their lenient penalties...it was april last year when jordan was caught and it has taken them 12 mths to decide whether they should hand him a penalty or not....no doubt he will appeal it and will see it strung out for months or even years [as we seen with the demmler case].Quote:

NEXT!!!!!!:p:confused: wonder whos turn it is now??
Fence post excuse is getting a bit thin
Visiting trainer at someone elses property......get out of jail card right there lol
That would be pretty lame if that’s the case Lasse
It will be interesting to see why they felt they had to declare R2 at Ararat a No Race
They had to steer around a fallen horse in the sprint lane but the winner was always going to be the winner
Maybe the winner veering into the 3rd horse a bit may have cost it 2nd but in the scheme of things I think they could have let the race stand
(no vision on HRV but was still available on Sky replays)
I find it very frustrating that HRV don't provide a replay of "no races". Owners, trainers and drivers would like to see what happened and punters deserve to see why it was declared a no race. It's like they want to avoid any questioning for their decision. "We make the decisions and no one should dare question us" is the message that they are sending.
Fair call, I think we should be able to see the replay
Harnessbred posted this to Facebook a couple days ago. Anyone else see it?
"Another race fixing investigation has surfaced in the central west of NSW, around a race held at Dubbo in early April 2018.
We are lead to believe that strike force Antree are investigating a Parkes trainer and a leading reins person on the said meeting after intercepting phone calls involving persons of interest and race fixing allegations.
It is not yet clear, weather these allegations are related to charges made by task force Antree on the 1st of March 2018.
However early reports suggest their could be links regarding the involved.
Court proceedings relating to the charges of two counts of engage in conduct that corrupts betting outcome and use corrupt information to bet on event that have been laid on the 1st of March have been adjourned till June.
An Investigation in relation to these current matters are on going."
Race in question is Race 4. Amanda Turnball driving. Hutchings training.
From a FB commentator: "This is the race in question. Hutchings had a 70/1 pop that made the favourite do a power of work in a lead time more than a second faster than other races that night. Allowing the stablemate to sit back at the tale and swoop home."
I haven't seen anything from any other source, but these kind of reports are a worry.
Stewards report on the race mentions:
The second last sentence above is interesting as Homested Lad finished in 8th place, 39.7 metres behind the stablemate winner.Quote:
Stewards questioned driver B Hutchings in relation to the tactics adopted and the overall performance with HOMESTED LAD. Trainer / Driver B Hutching explained that he was able to hold his position from the mobile and find the lead without making much use of the gelding. He further added racing down the home straight on the first occasion sustained a challenge by KARLOO THREEOTHREE which was under a significant amount of driving and held the lead as in his opinion HOMESTED LAD is best suited whilst leading running even sectionals. He further advised that he wasn’t overly disappointed in the performance. Stewards noted his comments.
There is no mention in the Stewards Report as to why One Muscle Hill was declared a non-runner in the NSW trotters derby other than to say he was denied a fair start in the Summary table - how can you give no details in the body of the stewards report?!

I could see the driver put up his hand but the starter must not have - a steward's report explanation has to be a given surely
There is a controversial racing site that is claiming that R7 at Mildura last Sunday was the red hottest race Victoria has ever seen.
I like hearing from our expert posters when I, like most, have no driving experience - what do you guys think?
The stewards report allocates no blame
http://www.harness.org.au/racing/ste...l/?mc=ML130518
But we had a $1.20 favorite driven by a legendary reinsman and headed for victory - get beat
Have a look

OMG I can’t believe that, I’m going to leave that to the guys that have had driving experience but it didn’t look good
The website jeebung.com suggests that $92,000 was possibly bet on the Betfair exchange for MY CASH NZ to lose.
She won her first 2 starts in Australia by over 10m and so justified her market favoritism.
Only brave or smart punters would bet against MY CASH NZ driven by the best driver in the race in a small field of 8.
MY CASH NZ was bolting and only some miracle was going to stop her... . and did..
Stewards report says "all evidence was considered", if the betting reports show some new evidence then the case should be re opened.
I have never seen wheels get locked together that tightly before, was it accidental or was it deliberate ? It's not impossible for that to happen, just very rare. It is almost getting to the stage where recording devices need to be put on each driver during the race just so stewards can check what is being said between them .
With social media the way it is now, it is easy for disgruntled punters and armchair driving experts to start and spread rumors about fixed races and many people will just believe it. Hopefully stewards will fully investigate the incident and clear up the facts.
Have a look at the last 200m of race 5 at Melton Saturday night, particularly driver of #12. Should be an interesting stewards report and a long holiday.
It will make most interesting reading - it defies belief that he would think he could do that. Any thought he could have been helping with gear diminishes when you see his animated talk after the lineQuote:

Why was he looking around coming around the corner?? I haven’t seen this driver before and god knows what he was thinking, This one certainly needs further investigation
There was an explanation! Unfortunately our video quality is not good / large enough to show that he had lost his whipQuote:

Apologies Jack - I can now understand why you were waving your whip around after the line
So have I got this right, a kid loses his whip and retrieves it and an enquiry is commenced and adjourned. The states most experienced driver drives with his leg in another sulky and the matter is concluded on the night. Doesn't appear to be consistent stewarding practice to me.
You can actually see his whip fly across when the other driver reefs his. But you should not loose your whip and you shouldn't stop driving and try to retrieve it. In my opinion it cost his horse at least 2 placings. Anyway the stewards can decide the penalties .
And Dot , the other race does deserve more investigation imo.
David Aiken has been suspended for 4mths but has a stay (3x4mths actually but made concurrent)
http://www.harness.org.au/media-room...?news_id=37329
The article mentions:
"the analytical results for recycled water samples obtained from the paddock utilised by Mr Aiken within the Menangle Park Training Centre."
I have been told that the water in the recycled water tank tested positive to the same substance which would suggest a strong appeal will be lodged
Why a lot more horses have not tested positive to the same substance might be the sticking point
Well, as we all know, it is the trainer's responsibility to present horses at the races "drug free".
Once again, very dodgy, kangaroo-court like justice courtesy of HRNSW handed to a trainer who was guest at the NSWHRC's showpiece horse-stabling facility. No duty of care for the host, then.
