    Kasey was just a bowler while Lakey told one of our posters last year that he was giving it away

    It begs the question as to how Kasey Kent was ever granted an "A" grade licence in the first place. And it was clear to all and sundry that Lakey was training Lochinvar Art under instructions from (a) Moran, or unlikely (b) Kent, or very unlikely (c) the horse's owner.

    Whatever scenario, it was aided and abetted by a hugely compliant racing media and HRV. The rest of us continue to be played for mugs.

    As Dan said, R7 was a demolition derby. Ellen Tormey was cautioned for easing pace on Imnopumpkin (she is) - not enough, should be suspended for the way she slammed on the breaks in the running line early causing a chain reaction that cost the fav dozens of metres . Down the back the final time Damien Burns has been suspended for thinking he can do a move off the pegs on Solesseo Matuca regardless of whether he had a runner on his outside - no wonder he doesn't normally drive!
    I have been following Imperials Reason (fav) for a while and it was an amazing run considering
    The replays might be up one day and you can have a look

    I don't know how Ryan Backhouse on Eyethink in R10 got away with not trying to beat his stablemate (and trainer) who was the favourite
    Ryan was using the whip in a correct manner (good to see) but right near the post desisted as he could see he was going to get more than just second
    I am dumbfounded how the stewards can ignore it
    They seem to have cautioned him for lack of control in order to 'cover up' NOT DRIVING A HORSE OUT

    Ryan Backhouse pleaded guilty to a charge under AHRR 162(1)(z) which reads ‘a driver shall not fail to fully drive his or her horse out to the end of the race’ with the particulars of the charge being that Mr Backhouse failed to drive Eyethink out to the conclusion of the event. In determining penalty, Stewards considered Mr Backhouse’s guilty plea, forthright evidence in immediately admitting fault, good record under this rule and issued a fine the sum of $200.

    I know he is a kid but you cannot just get a fine for throwing a race

    And Damian Burns only got 10 days for the interference he caused on Solesseo Matuca - he probably wasn't due to drive for at least a week
    At present the stewards are pretending to do their jobs and have become

    It seems Victorian stewards have sped along with the same lack of urgency with Julie Douglas' positive swab return as they did with her charmed husband's milk-shaking charge, which went nowhere after years and without any public explanation.

    There is a lot of homework to be done just to learn what the ingredients in this cocktail do.

    Yep, both over a year old - like I said earlier, I am starting to think that Integrity is a sham - just something that you need to have in your mission statement but nothing of great importance

    These charges have been coming for 12 years ? !
    Any slower and they will need to hire a medium to conduct the inquiry by a seance.

    Two independent laboratories have cleared Australian runner Peter Bol of ever using the banned substance EPO in a development his US-based lawyer Paul Greene has described as a “catastrophic blunder” from Sports Integrity Australia.
