Recognizing Training Partnerships

Clarification from HRV stewards.
It is covered by the rule that suspended horses cannot be transferred to a member of one's immediate family
They seem to consider Clayton's role is as a foreman

It would seem to me that there is a potential loop hole in that horses could be moved to a non-family member who could then employ your 'foreman'

[gutwagon]

Do they consider Clayton a relative ? They are not married are they ?

Maybe it falls under a defacto relationship being the equivalent of marriage in the eyes of the law.

Overall I get the impression that the integrity department are not that interested in this one

Apparently this is old news with timing around when John got a positive swab. Why do HRNSW allow the registration/transfer?

Some might say that the whole racing industry only pays lip service to integrity

Belinda McCarthy now down as trainer instead of Craig Cross.

I think there is a bigger story behind this but nobody is saying anything.

You will still find

With diversifying their business, Luke and Belinda are still at the forefront of horse operations and have linked with long-time family member Craig ‘Rowley’ Cross, who has taken over the training part of the business.

Is he really family?

I thought he may have just been taking a break
But the temporary break is due to continued complications from his break - a broken leg
