Thanks for digging that up Noel; knew he was no clean-skin but couldn't remember the specifics. I think the term "known to stewards", as in "known to police", would be an apt epitaph to his training career.
It seems to be a trait of the needy and the greedy. They use a stopwatch as a precision tool and can tell you to 1/10th of a second how well a horse is working but blame the town hall clock for being fast when they get caught out with performance enhancers used within the prescribed withholding period. Or just blame their vet!
