Didn't look good. But I'm not totally sure he would have picked up the leader even if he had been 'cutting it in half '. Betting records hold the future to his immediate future in the sport.
Calling Sam Nati !
Nows the chance to clean up this sport or rebadge it " Red Hot Trots" with a fiery new logo. I hate that term "Red Hots" but it's easy to understand where the name fits in.
Whilst I understand that it's great that you want to catch the "Great Train Robbers" ( Steward assisted race wins ) but how about catching and "jailing" these thieving little break and enter buggers ( Team Driving )
Crooked is still Crooked no matter what the scale and still hurts harness racings image and damages punter perception. The big enquiry will take time which whilst annoying is understandable, but these matters should be stomped on quickly.
For goodness sake if you boot them out dont keep letting the buggers back in each time.

A valid point LCL about picking up the leader, but did he even "TRY" is the question. Why did he not use the whip in the final stages after using it earlier. Regardless of the betting angle, was he giving the horse every possible chance to win ! Then if found guilty of not trying investigate the betting to see if this compounds the charge making the penalty even more severe.Originally Posted by Lucky Camilla"s Lovechild
Ooooh. I love a good old fashioned 'Salem' witch hunt though! Without trying to be the devils advocate here. I think at the moment, everyone is micro analysing every drive thinking that something is suspicious.
Do you stir with a spoon or a stick LCL, I think you are trying to get a bite !
We are questioning this one race. People with no punting background have watched and commented why did he stop driving when the horse looked to have a good chance of winning.
More a case of cure the "sickness" before it kills the patient !
Dont worry about wanting to pick up the leader, if he wanted to win he'd of flogged it. No doubt in my mind about it.

Hi Kevin. Welcome to Harness Link. Nice drive the other day. What did the exacta pay in the race? Shawshank, sometimes I like to use a spoon.
Hahahahahahahaha. That's going straight to the Pool Room. Thanks Breno.
