Nothing about Clancys Fobwatch improved performance in the stewards report?
I don't know the answers but 1.52 over 2300 winning by near on 20metres doesn't get a QIP?
Proper policing would also act as a deterrent... this is clearly not the case... clearly there was an issue on the 22nd of October - no ramifications apparent, so just push the "repeat" button and the merry-go-round continues...
Whilst it is a rule: onus is on trainers to comply and the stewards to enforce compliance.

"The all-clear for this race was delayed to permit Stewards to review the start and, in particular, to examine whether BAD HABBOTT NZ was afforded a fair opportunity to make its position at the start. After reviewing the official vision and noting the evidence of the Stewards it was determined that when the mobile gate had commenced to move prior to BAD HABBOTT NZ facing the mobile barrier as prescribed by Rule 128(3) and declared that horse a non-runner."Originally Posted by Diablo

A prominent Menangle based Trainer contacted Stewards prior to fields being declared last week and informed them that their nominated horse had pulled up lame after trackwork and requested it not be drawn to run. The reply was, "Bad luck, you're getting a run". Trainer then advised that the horse will be scratched, which it was. This prevented another nominated runner from gaining a run. Ineptness or arrogance on the Stewards behalf?

Or are their hands tied?

M Purdon the Trainer/Driver of ULTIMATE MACHETE NZ explained that he had been disappointed in the performance. He stated that the horse had been in Australia about eight days and had trialled prior to leaving New Zealand. M Purdon added that despite the record time he felt that ULTIMATE MACHETE NZ should have performed better and intended to have blood tests done on Monday. He undertook to advise HRNSW Stewards of these results. ULTIMATE MACHETE NZ was examined by the Veterinary Surgeon who reported no apparent abnormalities.
Should the results of the blood test be given to the punting public so they can decide if they want to have a bet on this horse or not???? or are these results of the blood test available somewhere on HRNSW site???
Anyone know???
You may find it eventually in something like Stewards Supplementary Reports which can be found under Stewards Wrap which can be found under News Room eg.

I pushed hard for this as I found follow up inquiries attached to any old meeting impossible to follow but what you are after is unlikely to appear in such a wrap until too late but we can hope Trish
