He must have had his money on another runner!

John Vincent is his name.

Sounds like you are a big supporter of the cheaters in this industry!

The crap as you call it is all self inflicted. I certainly don't feel sorry for him but the omakau incidents happened before inca. You may feel sorry for him but I certainly don't. i would be very surprised if he isn't getting a wage from the Barron establishment at the moment.

Well they were once upon a time great mates. I guess a certain changing of jobs doesn't sit well with one. I'm guessing one of them is a bit passed off he didn't get a heads up from the other one about a certain investigation that he might have been involved with!

That chapter would have to be rated R18!!!

Yes it's quite well known he has a drinking problem!

How many of your hors s have been racing on natural ability the last few years!

You are trying to defend the undefendable. There would not be an issue with the riu being on the property if Nigel wasn’t up to no good. get it into your head that the riu are within their rights to enter nigel’s property. perhsps Nigel should have had a set up like his cousin. Then he wouldn’t have been caught. the more you comment the more it sounds like you are all for the cheats!!

Don't worry there is more to come that will be outed for some time! I don't have a problem of the riu hiding in bushes to catch the cheats. Pity they haven't done it more often. If you take all stars out of the picture the most common name mentioned about being a drug cheat in this game has been Nigel. Looks like that has been proven right. you don't have to go to far to hear people say good riddance about Nigel .

So from your numerous posts on here I take it you have a problem with the riu and there surveillance of Nigel. but you don't have a problem with Nigel's cheating ways!

Is that your defence in support for your trainer! once he's signed his licence riu allowed on property . Just not allowed to enter house.

Very surprised longowner hasn't posted a comment here. He normally doesn't miss a chance to put the boot into the RIU. Especially when one of his trainers are involved. I know you are here reading all this Martin!

Most racing people have had enough of McGrath! Only the ones who condone cheating haven't. think you will find all stars are looking at America for the next move !

The old saying once a cheat always a cheat certainly applies here! perhaps if Nigel hadn't refused to give a statement then there might have bot been a need for the riu to turn up the following day and his drunken mate might not be facing more charges himself!

Of course you have never ever misquoted anyone have you Matt! quite frankly I wouldn't trust any journo as far as I could kick them. At least those 3 scum as you called them are trying to do there bit to clean up the industry. All they are doing is repeating what gets said on racecourses every time I attend. Even a blind man(or woman ) can see what's been going on with a certain few trainers. Speaking of scum allowed on racecourses I take it you are ok with the trainer who got caught in possession of an amount of drugs that would make a Mexican cartel proud being able to still hold a licence. And Even when he decided to assault another trainer at the track also. Perhaps he was under the influence of the drugs that day as well. Not that I'm saying he was!

Martin you really are like a broken record. we all know how anti RIU you are and pro for the inca accused.as a couple of your trainers were caught up in it!

Sick fuckers!

Think you will find that Sam Thornley could be in trouble for that incident

Personally I think all is not lost. Put his hands up a notch and model his stretch drive on somebody like blair and he will be more than a capable driver!

I wish you were right. But what's been happening at Santa Anita has brought non jumps racing into the media spotlight. And harness racing gets tarred with the same brush. It will be a minor miracle if California doesn't ban horse racing . The animal rights movement has already got the dishlickers banned in Florida. You have your head in the sand if you don't think they will gain momentum from these actions. They will be coming full force for all racing codes in the near future.

Not quite sure Michelle is the trainer you think he is! Since the weather warmed up he hasn't looked like training a winner! Have to keep those beers cold! The word on the street is the RIU wasn't happy about those warm beers!

I just seen a Facebook post from Tim Vince saying how disgusted he is with the critism of Ben Hope on social media. He stated that "Ben is a champion in the making". Well if he thinks this , then what is Sarah O'Reilly? She is the length of the straight more talented than Ben as a driver. Tim also made the point that Ben is just starting out. I would say having 500 drives is more than just starting out . i have no doubt that the likes of Ricky have given Ben plenty of good advice but he doesn't seem to take it in. I see the other channel also had a crack at ben's driving with his mother Nina adding a comment. Funny thing is she didn't even try and defend his driving style. But there are worse than Ben out there . Alana Cameron after carving up the field at mot last month just got back driving yesterday at invercargill and decided to knock one over going into 1st bend and now is suspended for another 3 days. If Alana carries on in this manner she will either seriously injure or kill a horse or fellow driver. And we certainly don't want to see that.

I call them terrorists as like the ones you mentioned they have only one view and want to impose there views on the non believers. From your reply I take it you are either a member of PETA or SAFE or is it both?

I'm afraid to say it but you are so right here. The animal rights terrorists are coming for horse racing and they won't differentiate between harness racing and the TB's. The banning of horse racing will start in California an once these terrorists get a sniff of victory there will be no stopping them.
