Well Tasmania became totally irrelevant when I stopped betting my dollar each way.
And as far as Victoria goes , they better pull their socks up because if I take my dollar each way away , they will never pay off that 60 odd million.

PP is reporting that Tas Racing is not going to accept the nominations of father Wayne Yole until he moves to another property and shows that he is working independently of his disqualified sons

Fair enough.

Finally some action being taken in regard to the float crash. All charges are against the business. So no charges for the driver who fell asleep at the wheel.

From what I understand , work cover has never lost a case in court.
I wonder who will have to compensate the workers for their injuries .

Good question as the article states:

WorkSafe Tasmania regulator Sam Thompson said the charges were based on two complaints.

It has also charged the stables with failure to notify the work, health and safety regulator of a notifiable incident and failure to hold workers' compensation insurance.

I suppose it all depends on who the work cover people determine as being responsible.

His absence doesn't appear , to me , to have effected the good fields for Launceston on Saturday night.

Would not surprise if Ben Yole Racing Pty Ltd declares bankruptcy at some point. There's some decent financial penalties with those charges.

With no compo, the injured people could lodge legal claims against the business. Also the owners of the deceased horses maybe able to claim.

It is still listed as registered on ASIC.

As for the horse float charge, it was unregistered, not insured and had no brakes.

Any idea who owns the property in Tassie??
