The trainers my old man's horses were as homest as the day is long. They never cheated in my opinion but sure knew when to offload the cash.

So you are saying the Police have a 100% conviction rate? As for fairness was what happened to Peter Moody in Australia fair? In terms of proving match fixing anyone remember Chris Cairns?

Which makes me think this could turn into a circus and there will be a huge legal grey area to traverse or wade through.

There has hardly been any "favours" for harness OR gallops in the media. Try and find the menu tab for racing on the two mainstream media websites. I applaud the CEO for taking an assertive proactive stance in managing the situation the way he has. Don't forget no one has been found guilty yet and there were 100's of hard working people doing their job last night without being annoyed by media vultures. Let alone those few remaining on course patrons who were there for an enjoyable night. Oh and don't forget the Racing Media were in attendance as normal. If my recollection is correct they were right at the forefront of reporting on this story.

I beg to differ. Addington isn't a public place it's private property running an event. The owner can decide on who he wants to allow to attend. It wasn't censorship as they were allowed to attend and write what they wish. However in the interests of the paying customers and dare I say the sport the CEO chose to restrict or rather manage their access. That's not censorship. If to allow media vultures crawling all over the place looking to question patrons and stakeholders for an "angle" then we also differ on what constitutes news! As the CEO said the only other time you see these guys is on Cup Day. The normal racing media were there as usual.

The response puts a more favourable light on the action that was taken. The "extra" news media that turned up were only there to provide sensationalist reporting. Expect more of that as this debacle progresses further. If I was a new racegoer I would want some investigative journo within two feet of me. Certainly you wouldn't want race newbie journos in the stables.

It was a big grass track in those days with big fields. Then as it is today it was hard to make a profit racing a horse. Setting your horse up was all part of the game and the fun in the lower grades but you needed to have a good one to do it successfully. I wouldn't call it cheating as such. Giving your horse a soft run for one day on a long summer circuit often happened especially if you were avoiding a horse as good with a better draw.
