FAMILY TREE– Broke gait after the start, given the gelding’s record connections were advised that it would be placed outside the draw for future mobile start races. A post-race Veterinary examination of the gelding revealed it to have a number of welts on its rump. An inquiry into Trainer/Driver A Dean’s actions with the gelding following the race was adjourned to a date to be fixed.

Today PP highlights or I should say lowlights this one from Wagga on May 6
If Amanda Dean is found to have beaten 11yo Family Tree after the race, she should be banned for 10yrs
Dean has only ever driven 30 winners in her career - 8 of them on Family History
If true, actions like this are what will see harness racing lose its social licence to operate
