    • Well I see what you're saying regarding consistency. And agree,  it would be great if all Penalties were universal. especially for horrific crime. but it just doesn't happen. it's case by case assessed.  But the truth is in law courts and sporting events as well , the local governing body, judge, stipe panel, revue panel,  all assess and penalize as they see fit at the time. with whatever misdemeanor happened.  It may always causes some consternation as some serious offenders get off light.  and some like Nigel McGrath or Phil Coulson get a huge penalty of seven years DQ each  when others are at 1-2 years for milkshaking or even a fine for caffiene. New Zealand leading NZ trainers the Dunns had 4 horses disqualified with positives for Caffiene 2017 and got off with a small fine , where-as Phil Coulson , one of the greatest WA horseman ever (and a hall of famer inductee) was given SEVEN years DQ . and Junior's Image disqualified for Caffiene positive swab a week after winning the Interdominion Grand Final at Christchurch when it was nobbled. some things don't work out well (for some)  regarding rules of racing. or even in a court of law. (depends who's on duty lol ) All the cobalt cases are looked at on a case by case basis. different penalties are dished up all the time for different cases. Probably would be great if all the same , but they're not.  Moran is different to the NZ situation(s) and QLD situation regarding the dropped foot. he drove on with a leg down in a tight race-winning situation.   Let's say we look at Race Day treatments. Some trainers might get one year, and others 6 months, and it might come down to prior history, warnings, first time infringements , mitigating circumstances , all sorts of things for assessing what penalty to give. Not sure what they did with Emma Stewart that time , maybe 6 months?. Kiwi Lad Jack Trainor is out at the moment DQed (Grimson sidekick) but shouldn't be looking at what others got for similar offence as each case is slightly unique , and dealt with and penalized accordingly .  just quietly I don't think the horse Captain Hammerhead should of been DQed , but Moran himself should of been sanctioned as the Penalty, in agreement with your assessment, but it is what it is, and the Penalty given Makes an impact, and hopefully we won't see it happen again. (driver boot hitting horses hind legs/hooves ) any time soon.   Stewards have discretionary powers when it comes to Penalty, like a magistrate. so operate as such. that's life. ..
    • one I mentioned to mrs that I be keen to put a bid in for! she has a eye for a S horse! I I had my eye on the #356
    • Something for some to think about.
    • What Goulburn Races Where Goulburn & District Racing Club – Racecourse Dr, Goulburn NSW 2580 (Link if we have track page) When Tuesday, January 28, 2025 First Race 2pm AEDT Visit Dabble Goulburn District & Racing Club is the destination for NSW racing on Tuesday afternoon, with a quickfire seven-part program set for decision. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and although the surface is rated a Heavy 8 at the time of acceptances, warm summer conditions should allow for an upgrade into the Soft range for race day. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 2pm AEDT. Best Bet at Goulburn: Cable Express The Danielle Seib-trained Cable Express returns after a 73-day spell and brings a formidable record into this first-up assignment. The son of Cable Bay was a second-up winner last preparation before being sent to the paddock, knocking off the likes of The Right Rein and Ghost Walker in a competitive Highway contest. The four-year-old has won first-up in the past, and although the 1300m may be short of his best trip, Cable Express has the class to get the job done on resumption. Best Bet Race 1 – #2 Cable Express (6) 4yo Gelding | T: Danielle Seib | J: Shaun Guymer (60kg) Next Best at Goulburn: Manwari Manwari appears set to peak fourth-up into the campaign, hitting the line well in his most recent outing at Moruya on January 17. The Menari gelding got within two lengths of Hope And Glory on that occasion, bouncing back after a modest performance at Canterbury on New Year’s Day. Gate one should allow Nick Heywood to hold the leaders’ back throughout the journey, and provided he can sprint over the 1000m, Manwari should figure in this at a good price with . Next Best Race 2 – #4 Manwari (1) 3yo Gelding | T: Danny Williams | J: Nick Heywood (58kg) Best Value at Goulburn: Darken After a mountain of dual acceptances, the Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald barn finally send around Darken in the first leg of the Goulburn quaddie. The son of Dubious has had two barrier trials to get set for this first-up assignment, stretching out to finish within 2.8 lengths of Automne Tree at Rosehill on January 7. Alysha Collett will attempt to lob into the one-one from barrier two, and at the each-way price with horse racing bookmakers, Darken should get every chance to make an impression on debut. Best Value Race 4 – #3 Darken (2) 3yo Gelding | T: Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald | J: Alysha Collett (57.5kg) Tuesday quaddie tips for Goulburn Goulburn quadrella selections January 28, 2025 3-9-13 2-8-10-11-14 2-3-5-8 1-10 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article
