You're right - I have been making a lot of mistakes lately
I do however wish there were not so many places that I have to keep up with
I think I will train myself to use the national site but remember to check the stewards wrap too

If you do want just the one feed, I'd encourage you to use hrv.org.au newsroom because it had what you were looking for, just a bit further down as the info is placed in there in chronological order.

That is a fair point but I just prefer the look and content of the national page as my Internet Explorer home page. Harnesslink forum is of course my Google Chrome home page

"the HRV Stewards have directed the suspension of the licences of the four relevant participants, with immediate effect, for no longer than 3 months (should circumstances remain the same) while the investigation continues. Pursuant to AHRR 15(d), the relevant participants have also been excluded from attending racecourses in Victoria for no longer than 3 months (should circumstances remain the same) while the investigation continues"

No doubt there will be an appeal

Look at the human connections here. Might have something to do with the stable change.

David Bartley listed as trainer.
Mark Pitt was the driver. His partner Lisa Bartley is David's daughter.
She worked for the Turnbull/Jack stable when they were based at Shepparton.

In accordance with the provisions of AHRR 183, the HRV Stewards have directed the suspension of the licences of the four relevant participants, with immediate effect, for no longer than 3 months (should circumstances remain the same) while the investigation continues. Pursuant to AHRR 15(d), the relevant participants have also been excluded from attending racecourses in Victoria for no longer than 3 months (should circumstances remain the same) while the investigation continues.

So immediate means immediate?
And Nathan Jack will not be driving at Bendigo tonight?

Why is it that the HRV's media releases do not actually name the 'four relevant participants' ?

The RAD appeals will be interesting, with NO charges laid after the public arrests and No stewards action taken on the race itself, it appears to be a reaction situation.
I wonder what the Vic Racing Ministers office wants HRV to do next.
What happened to innocent until proven guilty.

The $64 question. Will the four names be listed on the next weekly suspended drivers list?? Doesn't make sense that they are not named when most people know who they are anyway.

I'll change your comment to "it IS a reaction situation." Once it got into the press, HRV had to be seen to be doing something or the media would have hounded them and the minister. Would not take much pressure from above for the stewards to act as Murray is a weak chief steward.

As for the RAD who knows how it will go as it's just a lucky dip there. Some of their decisions just defy logic and belief.
