Thanks Guys, Very Kind... I appreciate it.

Still learning and have a long way to go but I love what I do for a job and hope it comes through in some way during the races....

It is unlikely such a review will happen. Why would it. Nothing to review. Defence conceded so at Smoken up hearing satisfied how the sample was taken and processed. Have you read the findings report at www.jca.org.nz Defence had a problem with the level of security but in my experience that is not the clubs or any other third party absolute responsibility. If you are a trainer with a horse at the track to race it is your responsibility and IMO common sense and professional approach to ensure the safety and security of your horse. Be it an Interdom heat NZ Cup or maiden.
Level of prizemoney is not a prerequisite to the standards and protocols for swabbing or any other way that racing is controlled.

If there was ever a "bad way" to win a major title it would be this.
Is there a review of the swabbing process in NZ to be conducted? Sounded like a bit of a shambles. Less than ideal when you are dealing with prizemoney of this size.

I understand an Aust Horse of the Year cannot return a positive swab in that year. Who is next in line to claim that title from Smoken up when the penalty phase of his hearing is concluded? to become horse of the Year.

2011 Inter Champ. Well done. Probably robbed of Aust Horse of the Year as well.

Only two contenders, Sushi Sushi and ITMQ

Inter all his?
Smoken Up just won't be able to match his speed around that final turn imo.

Ha ha ha. Keep fighting the good fight Brenno.

What fight lol?

I'm not anti Smoken Up or anything like that if thats what you think, just pro-ITMQ.

Cant wait to see if Washakie can get a front row draw and lead a Heat, should be at ok odds and he absolutely loves leading on that track.

I do think Smoken may unfortunately struggle on the little track, he hated Moonee Valleys last turn and this has to be smaller...

Should be a given for the pint sized local.
