Disgraceful, needs anger management counselling.
Check out the horses at the rear of the field when they enter the straight in the R4 trot at Swan Hill last night
Ashley Ainsworth seems to have got a little angry at being given a flat tyre
Stewards apparently gave him 15mths - some think he got off light

With Gaita's record I would have expected 12 years not 12 months

Seems to be an addiction. Can't say anymore as the RAD would not comment on the evidence given by the psychologist.
There is no place in our industry for people like this. She should be banned for life so that she can find another occupation !
Don't die wondering !
Agree, but do you honestly think that would work? Seems incapable of grasping the reality that the game has moved on from her ways long ago.
The result
"During the adjournment Trainers representative Mr Bevan Kelly was interviewed relative to the instructions issued to Mr Alford where the instructions were confirmed to be to drive Loveisamyth forward if possible.
Extensive review of the wagering information was undertaken which failed to identify any area of concern.
Upon consideration of the matters Stewards could not be satisfied that the actions of Mr Duggan at the 1900 were unacceptable as it was evident Keayang Da Vinci, which was positioned in advance, had paced very roughly on two occasions and Islandspecialmajor hung in rounding the first turn which resulted in Islandspecialmajor being positioned closer to the marker pegs and Loveisamyth being able to gain purchase on the position as a consequence.
Stewards could not be satisfied that the tactics adopted by Mr Alford were entirely unreasonable in the circumstances. In arriving at this decision Stewards were mindful of the instructions issued and the minimal use made of Loveisamyth prior to improving three wide."
Laughable - have a look at how interested Alford (4) was in taking up a forward position coming off the gate
and he then remembered that he was supposed to take up a forward position a lap later (or when his stablemate was ready to make a move)

Sure he is our leading driver but if you are going to allow team driving you are undermining the integrity of our sport

The adjourned inquiry for R5 at Mildura last night might make interesting reading in the future

Amazing that the fav still nearly won despite all the work
