I hope it is not Roger Neubauer. The disgraced former steward who was under ICAC investigation for race fixing as well as betting on horse racing and having an owning interest in a pacer with a close friend of his. And the same Roger Neubauer who was caught wining and dining with at the time disqualified repeat offender Peter Morris in Chinatown? If so I would be listening to nothing the bloke has to say, especially in regards to the current swabbing and betting scandal in NSW.
It appears to me that you're verging upon a Regulatory form of Julia Gillard there VOR.
In the same way that she & her Eco-Marxist cronies so deplorably seeks to deny the democratic will of vast majority of the public with regard to her disgracefully undemocratic introduction of a Carbon-dioxide Tax, you seem to revel in the fact that the vast majority of the Harness Racing Industry has thus far been repeatedly denied its view on the significant worth of relegation/setback/disqualification as a direct & very effective stewarding response to racing interference...but of course, Mother knows best.![]()
Unfortunately they all want it until it effects them.... then like most other rules it should not have been used now.
Like Julia Gillard someone put HRA in power and this decision was made years ago if you are right and most want it back where is the Australia wide push and one last question if it is such a great rule why don't NZ use it.
N.Z does not follow H.R.A.rules L J did not get time for
positive SU still aloud to race while inquiry was still on
not like in Australia depends on what horse it is I suppose
talk about unfair
Here`s just another small example of the distain Board menbers ( in particular, Les Bentley, as President of Bankstown HRC) have for trainers. The disfunctional Committee of Bankstown Harness Racing Club have just advised trainers and residents of the `Monster Fireworks Display 12th November`.
Without any regard for the welfare of resident horses, this laughable lot have approved this potentially disastrous action on behalf of the Annual Muslim Show.
Yet another example of conflict of interest by HRNSW, and some board members.
How this lot survives is beyond me.
A few years ago, I lost a very good horse through one of these fireworks displays, (Doug Bromac; 20+ wins) when he crashed through a fence in fright.
How people can sell themselves for a plate of sandwich`s and the illusion of power is sad.
The sooner they go the better. Martin Herbert, Trainer/Driver/ Breeder/ Owner
Martin thats amazing these people can let this happen knowing what a horse can do to itself and others when spooked.
