  1. surely boays own max mosley was consulted for this article
  2. https://www.harness.org.au/media-room/news-article/?news_id=38934 Inter Dominion - Let It Ride NZ & Italian Delight NZ Withdrawn 03 December 2018 The Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) Stewards advise that Let It Ride NZ and Italian Delight NZ have been scratched from their engagements in the Pacers Inter Dominion tomorrow night at Ballarat under the provisions of Australian Harness Racing Rule (AHRR) 196B(3). The scratchings relate to Mr Butt disclosing that an injection had been administered to Let It Ride NZ and Italian Delight NZ today, within one clear day of the race, for the purposes of extracting blood for analysis. AHRR 196B states: 196B. (1) A person shall not without the permission of the Stewards within one (1) clear day of the commencement of a race administer, attempt to administer or cause to be administered an injection to a horse nominated for that race. (2) For the purposes of this Rule - (a) One clear day means the twenty four (24) hour period from 12.01 a.m. to 12 midnight; (b) Administering an injection to a horse means the use of a hypodermic needle or other instrument to introduce or extract any substance from the horse; (c) It is not necessary to establish whether any substance was injected or the nature of the substance injected. (3) The Stewards shall order the withdrawal or disqualification of a horse that has been either administered or attempted to have been administered an injection in breach of sub-rule (1). (4) A person who fails to comply with sub-rule (1) is guilty of an offence. Given the mandatory nature of AHRR 196B(3) Stewards ordered that Let It Ride NZ and Italian Delight NZ be withdrawn from their engagements at Ballarat on 4 December 2018. Mr Butt subsequently pleaded guilty to a charge under AHRR 196B(1) in that on 3 December 2018 he administered an injection to Let It Ride NZ and Italian Delight NZ, within one clear day of their engagement at Ballarat on 4 December 2018, without the permission of the Stewards. In assessing penalty Stewards took into account the following factors: Mr Butt’s guilty plea and clear record; Mr Butt’s forthright evidence and admissions; Deterrence factors; The breach of the rule led to the scratching of the two runners; The injection was for the purposes of blood being extracted for analysis, as opposed to the introduction of a substance. Stewards accordingly imposed a fine of $1,000. Mr Butt was advised of his rights of appeal against the penalty imposed.
  3. drugs are a crutch for so many in society that just can't face reality
  4. don't think so it is a trust thing at the end of the day but there are ways to keep tabs messrs pilkington campbell and mullins smelt a rat
  5. gregs father peter trained in blenheim and occasionally drove braedoon (cardigan bay 3yo stakes at wellington driven by peter) and lock rae were pretty decent braedoon was the first horse i remember greg hope driving if peter hope turned up at addington with a horse i paid careful attention gregs colours are those of his father
  6. was pretty laughable but not as laughable as aaron whites call of the finish
  7. and perseverance road in the dominion
  8. just need more time spent rehearsing
  9. drivers or horses
  10. i am not sure it was party drugs but even if it was he must have done more than just hand them to alta maestro
  11. if this gets to the last leg it should feature on trackside
  12. i imagine every charge proven in the court will be able to attract penalty from the riu i don't know why barton plead guilty but it certainly sealed his industry fate
  13. interestingly barton admitted that he crossed a fine line and no conviction was entered penalties of 5k fine and being warned off for life are from qric only
  14. he is giving "no lead time" a real thrashing
  15. JOHNNY WHITE - raced wide from the 650 metres and was then taken very wide from the 400 to continue improving. Stipes all tickety boo on the day
  16. boom !!!!!!!! slipped the chief and iceman in too
  17. have you made peter earley aware of this
  18. probably still busy working on his war chest
  19. lets just be clear only one of the late mr asquiths clients was charged with purchasing and administering blue magic and he is not facing operation inca charges his presence in court has been merely as a support person
  20. can only be the 13th person charged and that person is described as "“That person is known in the industry" which makes me think its not a trainer
  21. confusing mumbo jumbo i am not sure if you are talking about 2004 or 2018 lol
  22. not true remembering he said "with the blue magic wasn’t that just 1 person but supplying trainers and one of those trainers involved in this as well" trust me i am 100% right here i would even stake brodies reputation on it
  23. none of the original 12 charged as a result of operation inca fit your theory unless you mean by way of unsubstantiated rumours at the time at this stage i have no idea who the 13th man is
  24. i reckon you are 100% incorrect there
  25. money or the egg i choose money
