There was no ADJ INQ next to the last 2 horses in the last race at Melton on June 26 but there must have been as it has appeared in the Supplementary Report

Have a look at the race

Lee and IMO Alford (to a lesser extent) pretty lucky to get away with these drives

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

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

The stewards took no action!
Dads might but our industry does itself no favours

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.

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:
