Stewards News 2

They're nice guys Trish LOL
If you speed through a red light you cop a double whack
But harness stewards like to hit you with multiple charges to better their chances of having one stick but only really want one to stick - thus concurrent penalties
Of course I am just making all this up but it sounds plausible to me LOL

Funny Kev.

Oh no!
How did Captain Barnato keep 4th in R2 on Ballarat Cup night when he clearly went inside the pegs on the final bend as called by the racecaller
It makes a huge difference to punters as the 5th horse was the favourite

With Vic short of money, you have to wonder what was behind every single runner at Mildura being pre race swabbed last night

It has taken forever for the stewards report from Shep on 18/2 to be posted and it is another of those barest of reports that are becoming common

In R2 little Stevey got a Caution for his Conduct but it is not even mentioned in the stewards report

RACE 2 – CHARLENE GUSMAN SHTC PACE (1690 MS)

MAAS BETTING AGAIN – Lost its lugging pole at the 600m.

ON THE HUNT – Hung in rounding the final turn before shifting ground when placed under pressure over the final stages.

MONGIANA – Held up for clear running until passing the 75m.

HES CHARLIES ANGEL – Raced keenly during the middle stages. Held up for clear running in the early stages of the home straight until utilising the sprint lane.

The answer to your question is in the decision:

"In considering penalty Stewards were mindful of the following:

The submissions provided by Mr Trainor;
The circumstances of this matter;
Mr Trainor’s involvement in the harness racing industry;
Mr Trainor’s training record;
Mr Trainor’s second prohibited substance offence;
Mr Trainor’s guilty plea;
Class 2 Prohibited Substance;
The impact of a disqualification upon Mr Trainor from a personal and financial perspective;
The remorse shown by Mr Trainor in failing to take use of the HRNSW Elective Testing procedure;
The evidence of David Butt that Levamisole is used on his property to drench cattle;
The evidence of Dr Wainscott that he was unable to determine if MANHATTAN NZ was exposed to Levamisole in New Zealand or Australia."
