there can be no denying what she says has occurred in the past. The only thing i would say is we need to be a little bit cautious in inferring these problems currently exist at the level they have in the past. when she talks about vodka. Well thats not something i'm up with the play as to whether its ever been much of an issue in racing. Having said that,a few years ago i did have a greyhound trainer tell me thats what he and others would give dogs occassionally if they wanted them to downgrade or if they were punting something else in the race.I assumed it wasn't that common,but i have no idea myself. the fridge gassing,formalin thing,well thats why woodend was viewed as a hive of illegal activity for a while there. Of course the problem there was it wasn't fair to lump all trainers at woodend as being cheats. But it was accurate to say they came from a training area where % per capita of cheats was very much higher than anywhere else. but when opertion inca came around,one flow on effect was about 5-6 years ago,the riu of course poured resources into uncovering other illegal activity and they were actually successful. The likes of j alford got 9 yeras for the formalin,c jones got a few years,even being caught injecting the very same horse alford had been training after it being transferred to him after alford was disquialifioed. The fridge gas horse that the nairn lady refers to was used on arcano,well they never caught m kerr for doing that to any of hiis horses but he of course was extremely well known for being very volatile while he still had his licence.I guess thats what happens when you lose over $1 million on the punt and you have defrauded so many people. Then you had m anderson who infamously was the driver behind the catalyst for the police decision to continue with operation inca.Of course he went on to be known more for assaulting and strangulation of his partner,although the damage he did to her would have been more phsycological than physical long term.And of course he was guilty of being he distributor of party drugs to others in the industry,which he got from someone within the indutsry who i believe got them from her hairdresser,although that bit i don't think ever really came out.Of course m anderson was m kerrs regular driver. anyways,you get the picture. Harness racing had some really dishonest people who in some cases were proven to have used and in other cases believed to have used the substances that this woman nairn talks about. All to gain an advantage with the motive money. of course the upshot of the RIU catching these people was 3/4 of the industry thought about time,yet a very vocal,often high powered group was not impressed and believed it was better for racing to swepp such things under the carpet and avoid the bad publicity. of course now you get stables with trees cut down,big gates,all to avoid the riu spying on them from a tree. Like there were people who most thought were doing nothing wrong,yet people wondered why di you need to cut all the trees down. the RIU was relentlessly actacked in some circles.. The chief someone who falls into the 1/4.The industry is its own worst enemy in that respect.. as a result,it seems these days the riu doesn't do much enforcement in a manner that is likely to catch anyone. actually i did think the riu investigators became emboldened by their success and maybe slightly overstepped the line occassionally. anyways,people who say thsi nairn woman doesn't know what she is talking about,well thwey don't know what they are talking about. its just the scale and current relevance that i'm not so sure of. And i've always said the cheats like the ones i mentioned above are the poor mans cheats. The clever ones are the ones who get their vet or say maybe an owner who makes regular trips to the usa,to bring the better,undetectable stuff in.i think when they took down the mass producer af performance enhancwers in the usa it has helped nz in some ways. Also,liike i have said so many times,if you follow the form you can teell. for example i started a thread one time about the way a certain trainers horses would perform and noted there was sometihibng peculiar abot hiow some of his horses ran. I inferred that it was something they were being given or fed that was impacted their hearts. Well of courtse i got criticised for it in this forum,but 12 months later that said trainer had several high cobalt charges. then of course,at6 one stage you had 3 telfer trained horses,within a year, all stop to a walk and either collapse and die on the track or back at the stables. Now,of course when i posted that boy did that set some people off. But its a fact it happend. An offical inquiry found nothing. it was never going to. But i think the telfers addressed the problem and took steps to make sure they weren't doing anything for it to happen again and it hasn't.the nairn woman has made the point that horses are underdeveloped when they are trained and raced as 2 year olds and i think you will find the stables that do put the pressure on early clearly have more bone issues than the ones that don't. The telfer stable is an exmaple of that,but thats not their fault. Their owners and the indutrsy pour so much financial incentitives to race 2 year olds these days. -

What Memsie Stakes Day Where Caulfield Racecourse – Gate 2, Station St, Caulfield East VIC 3145 When Saturday, August 16, 2025 First Race 12:05pm AEST Visit Dabble Group 1 racing returns to Caulfield on Saturday afternoon as the Memsie Stakes (1400m) headlines a 10-race program. With plenty of rain forecast for Friday and up to 8mm on race day, the track will likely be in the Heavy range. The rail will be in its true position for the entire circuit, with the opening race of the 2025 Melbourne Spring Carnival set to jump at 12:05pm AEST. Memsie Stakes tip: Treasurethe Moment Already a three-time Group 1 winner, Treasurethe Moment returns to the same track and trip where she won arrogantly when fresh in her autumn campaign. It is a distance short of her best, but the way she exploded away from her rivals on that day suggests she is in this up to her neck. Damian Lane will need an ounce of luck from barrier one when the speed goes on, but if Treasurethe Moment is anywhere near her best on her first go at weight-for-age level, she will take some holding out in the 2025 Memsie Stakes. Memsie Stakes Race 9 – #11 Treasurethe Moment (1) 4yo Mare | T: Matt Laurie | J: Damian Lane (56.5kg) McNeil Stakes tip: Vinrock The undefeated Vinrock has not been seen since his ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) victory on April 5, but with a couple of sharp jumpouts under his belt, he looks raring to go for the new season. From barrier three, Mark Zahra will likely look to dictate proceedings, and as long as the I Am Invincible colt can handle the wet going at the first time of asking, Vinrock looks hard to gun down in the 2025 McNeil Stakes (1400m). McNeil Stakes Race 6 – #2 Vinrock (3) 3yo Colt | T: Matt Laurie | J: Mark Zahra (58kg) The Heath 1100 tip: Arkansaw Kid Arkansaw Kid caught the eye when resuming in the Listed Regal Roller Stakes (1200m) and looks set to relish the wet ground second-up in The Heath 1100 (1100m). They will go pretty quickly out in front, which should counter the fact he is dropping back 100m in distance. Blake Shinn will have the son of Harry Angel settled towards the rear of the field from barrier 14, but if the pair can find the right back to follow in the straight, Arkansaw Kid will prove too hard to hold out. The Heath 1100 Race 7 – #2 Arkansaw Kid (14) 5yo Gelding | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Blake Shinn (59kg) Cockram Stakes tip: Pop Award New Zealand-based jockey Matthew Cartwright will make the trip back to Caulfield to partner Pop Award, with the pair combining for five wins and a second from six runs. The five-year-old mare is clearly the most untapped horse in the field, and her win in the Regal Roller showed she is more than up to this level. Cartwright will need a touch of luck from barrier 11, but if the pair can find cover in the three-wide line, Pop Award has the finish overhaul her rivals in the 2025 Cockram Stakes. Cockram Stakes Race 8 – #10 Pop Award (11) 5yo Mare | T: Lyn Tolson & Leonie Proctor | J: Matthew Cartwright (57kg) Best Bet at Caulfield: Revelare Revelare lacked dash first-up over 1600m, but with the run under his belt and stepping up to 2000m, he looks hard to hold out with just 54kg on his back. The son of So You Think was fresh off a spell of close to six months, and he is unbeaten through two second-up efforts. Ryan Hurdle has five wins and a minor placing from seven rides on the five-year-old gelding, and as long as the pair can find cover from barrier eight, Revelare only needs to handle the wet ground to win it. Best Bet Race 4 – #14 Revelare (8) 5yo Gelding | T: Robert Hickmott | J: Ryan Hurdle (54kg) Memsie Stakes Day quaddie tips for Caulfield Caulfield quadrella selections Saturday, August 30, 2025 2-4-6-12-15 2-3-10-12 1-2-3-6-9-11 4-10-12 Horse racing tips View the full article -
