If I had pocketed $1.00 for every Bush Lawyer I've encountered I'd be living in Monaco next door to Mick Doohan.
These guys make Lionel Hutz look like F. Lee Bailey.
Honestly I have only been a contributor to this forum for a very very very short period of time and it may seem presumptuousness of me to make this comment however i am amazed how few contributors appear to understand how important it is that the powers that be get this right.
I would love it finished tomorrow, but that will not happen, I would love to know who is in the gun, but that will not happen
We should all shut up and let the powers that be either HRNSW or the task force do their job.
My grandmother was not an educated woman however she had a saying which seems very appropriate here " If you have nothing intelligent to add.... than add nothing"
Give it some thought.

Voiceofreason,
This being an open forum I think you are out of order in saying we should all shut up.
If someone does post something that could harm the inquiries I'm sure Admin will see fit to edit it.or pass it on to HRNSW, the police.
Lets continue with some open discussions.
Could not find the one I wanted, this is still very funny.

Justdoit "This being an open forum I think you are out of order in saying we should all shut up."
VOR opened the door and Justdoit closed it.
It appeals to my sense of humour that I can imagine this was said about these races in question before it became public.
Punter 1 "Something funny is going on in these races"
Punter 2 "We should all shut up and let the powers that be "Stewards" do their job.
Sarcasm for those that miss the point !

Of the people who you would call Punter 2; Myself and VVV have certaintly criticised drives in the past on this forum and VVV has questioned many a steward decision, whilst Flashing Red is just too nice to do that.
If no one had questioned what was happening in these races and came forward and commented it would never have been brought into the open.
There was postings regarding apparent team driving on this forum that seemed to prompt stewards reopeing an enquiry.
I agree with questioning what happens !
"Not only must Justice be done; it must also be seen to be done."
So what; HRNSW have warned off 2 people; the latest of them just a week ago and now they've stopped pursuing this? Ok then mate.
While it was quite obviously neccessary, IMO the re-opening of the Beef City Beau inquiry ultimately proved to be an absolute waste of time.
I say this because, as an onlooker, it appeared to get itself inexplicably sidetracked & duly run up a nice old dry gully when it got hung up on whether or not Fleur De Lil was supported.
Blind Freddy could tell it had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with her or with Luke, rather it most likely had everything to do with the short priced fav. leader being layed by a person or persons unknown.
To this day I still cannot believe more did not come of all it.
Not even so much as a change of tactics charge for old mate up there & hammering away at the fav. from the breeze with a clearly well into double figure odds one trick, leave & immediately look for cover horse that, once its job was done, ultimately dropped out like it had been handed a fully stocked chest freezer.
Prior to that, there was an absolutely shocking drive at Newcastle on the Newcastle Club's Syndicate horse that slipped through the net unquestioned despite the protests of many an onlooker including the entire ensemble of The Blind Boys Of Alabama. That was re-opened too if I recall it correctly.
Since then, back on July 30th and shortly before the dastardly duo said their goodbyes, we watched with absolute incredulity as Bankstown's answer to The Arthur Murray Dance School strutted its stuff in Race 1.
You step in, I'll step out, you bury it in the pocket and pretend to shake it all about.
In a strange twist of fate, Arthur Murray (as seen here above cutting the rug with his dear wife, Kathryn) & the driver of Smokin Luke in that race, R. Byrnes, are not entirely dissimilar in appearance.
If that effort was worth a mere 4 weeks I'll eat my old lawn mowing shoes.
Not exactly Golden Moments in NSW Stewarding any of these, IMO.
Like the actual Stewards Report format, we're obviously coming off a very low base...they too IMO have been nothing short appalling for quite some time... BUT credit where it's due, in the last month or so things have improved immeasurably, so much better...like another planet as compared... and it is there that I fully expect they will stay.

I don't like to jump to conclusions because it has caught me out before and I've been made to look like a goose. I also know from experience that the proper process has to be followed otherwise the gate is wide open for appeals, or even worse, people being let off. I also probably come across a little more diplomatic here than what I otherwise would if you saw me at the races, hehe
It is true you are a good woman. Then again, you may be the antichrist.
