Equity Issues

[Danno]

This rule in harness racing is a total joke as a trainer, driver, owner you not allowed to support your own horse......... which idiot with an IQ of 1 came up with this idea.

I know this is not the case with Hewitt but congratulations to the stewards taking a sensible approach.

Come on Sam and Reid get rid of this rule you are both smart enough to see its obvious deficiencies... I know it will not be an easy task but you are up to it. Common sense must rule.

The rule came into affect in October 2005 Bill,so I reckon it wouldn't be too hard to work out on whose watch it came in. The rules for ever before that were completely the opposite...if the stipes suspected you had given a horse any easy run then you were asked to provide evidence that you HAD supported it.

I agree with you completely that it is an idiotic rule, along with the slow sectionals,change of tactics, and foot dropping rules we have been saddled with in recent times.
