    was i dreaming it or what

    i am certain that i read it some where just recently that hrnsw was introducing the practice of assigning an official of their stewards to accompany any given horse by any given trainer to a race meeting on that day from early morning until the completion of the race that the horse was running in.....by the horses side at all times......i thought that i read it in the HARNESS RACING WEEKLY but i have not been able to find it again.....i am sure that i was not dreaming,then again,maybe i was.....did anyone else see the same article?

    Hi Allan,
    If this is the case it's just another example of control being taken away from the trainer and his/her horses. Instead of handing out the correct penalty when a racing infringement occurs the harness racing bodies will continue to look for avenues where they can superimpose themselves on the trainers before the perceived malpractice eventuates.

    Been doing that for a while now. One example below. But there have been quite a few others. It's always noted in the stewards report when it happens.

    From the stewards report Albury 02/08/14:

    http://www.harness.org.au/stewards-r...fm?mc=AL020814
    "Race day integrity operations commenced at Trainer K Hillier’s stables this morning at 8.30am for horses that were engaged at tonight’s meeting."

    You had better get on some of the other threads and explain Race 5 at Newcastle last night David because there seem to be a lot of people thinking differently
