seems a lot of open enquiries in NSW from last year , surely these enquiries could be sped up 8-12 months after getting a positive swab you can still be training seems a bit ridiculous
If he does get suspended make the most of it and back his horses that have a driver change Stanley off and another driver on. Case in point Sohol Bollinger last two starts.

RACE 8 – EVEKARE ASSISTED LIVING PACE – 1609 metres
HUGO GEORGE NZ– Stewards questioned driver Jack Trainor with regards to the tactics he adopted on the gelding throughout the event, in particular his decision approaching the 250 metres whereby he elected to shift his runner wider across the back of GIMMEFIVEMINUTESMORE NZ and seek clear running to the outside rather than wait for an opportunity to present between the leader MAJOR OBAHMA and GIMMEFIVEMINUTESMORE NZ. Mr Trainor advised Stewards that the gelding was new to his stable and he hoped to lead in the event however he was unsure of the gate speed possessed by the gelding. Mr Trainor advised Stewards that MAJOR OBAHMA had begun better to his outside and he did not want to get into a speed dual with that runner in the early stages and elected to take a sit on that runner’s back and hoped to outsprint MAJOR OBAHMA over the concluding stages. Mr Trainor explained that as a result of the tempo being slower than expected GIVEMEFIVEMINUTESMORE NZ had continued to stick on to the outside of MAJOR OBAHMA longer than he expected and as a result approaching the 400 metres he commenced to restrain his gelding somewhat to give him an alternative option of shifting wider across the back of GIMMEFIVEMINUTESMORE NZ in case a run didn’t present to the inside or outside of the leader. Mr Trainor further explained that at the point passing the 250 metres both runners continued to maintain their position and he made a conscious decision to shift HUGO GEORGE NZ wider as a run had not fully developed between MAJOR OBAHMA and GIMMEFIVEMINUTESMORE NZ at that stage. After considering the explanation provided by Mr Trainor and reviewing the available films, in particular the head on footage of the home straight, which confirmed that Mr Trainor had commenced his shift up the track prior to Mr Green applying the whip to MAJOR OBAHMA in the home straight and that runner responding to his driving ensuring that a full run becoming available for HUGO GEORGE NZ to progress between MAJOR OBAHMA and GIVEMEFIVEMINUTESMORE NZ, and as a result believed the tactics of Mr Trainor at this stage of the event were reasonable in all the circumstances and determined to note his comments.

Michael Bellman has been given a 3 month suspension (from training and driving?) for inappropriate behaviour (which he has appealed)
I can't see you winning your appeal Michael, I would consider taking the suspension considering that racing could easily close down in the next 3 months.
I am not condoning his actions or wanting him to escape penalty, just saying it might be a smart move

If you knew the full facts you would also appeal. Its an extremely harsh penalty
Maybe Carol, PeterProfit is in agreement with you, but in this day and age his chances are slim (I don't think you could put a whip between your wife's legs without first asking) and my suggestion was simply a tactical one
