Not necessarily - it's all about causing a loss to another ..... if a driver states to another driver, "I'll remember that" when he doesn't get his own way in a race and then intentionally does something in a later race that causes that other driver's horse to be disadvantaged, that is technically race or match fixing.

This has NOTHING to do with the RIU! The clown bashed a woman, has been found criminally guilty and seriously deserves anything dished out to him!
-
Seriously? There is no justification for what Anderson did - intense pressure or not! Punching, choking, kicking a women in the head is unacceptable - surely you're not gonna argue with that?
-
Wonder what the story is there?
-
I would lay odds that the horse is the stable's GP and that it lines up when there's room on the truck to receive the "also ran" stake to earn it's keep. That being the case, I'd further lay odds that the owner isn't paying out mega (if any) dollars. At the end of the day, it's none of our business so who really cares.

They did nail him in court - he pleaded guilty - Judge let him off
-
They should have given Forbury the Easter Saturday and Monday dates they took off Hawera
-
The horse is probably the stable's galloping pace maker going around for "also ran money" to go some way toward paying for feed and shoes.

Simon Lawson - Appeal to shorten Disqualification
Taku Umanga replied to Taku Umanga's topic in Trotting Chat
He wasn't charged with any driving offences. He pleaded guilty to betting on another horse in a race that he was driving in. -

Racing at Alexandra Park is in big trouble
-
Moved South a while back I think, but not sure where exactly
-
My guess is he's gone because Justin Evans' salary was less
-
WTF has this conversation got to do with Harness Racing?
-
I have a friend who started work as an investigator a few years back and he wasn't on a lot more.
-
Came from higher up I believe - thoroughbreds effected just the same ......
-
Because HRNZ made an order to that effect - and from memory stated that a breach of the order would be considered a serious offence.
-
Let's wait and see if there are 97 Auckland trained horses nominated for the first June meetings in the North - I anticipate NOT! How can there be one horse ready to qualify in May when nobody's meant to be fast working?
-
Hmmmmm - I recall the last "all mile night" only attracted enough nominations to make up 5 races (just)!
-
Garrick Knight's latest tweet is interesting
-
That just show's how outdated the HRNZ rules are - though I'm sure it would be argued that "inspector" and "investigator" are the same thing.

223 (3) Every Racecourse Inspector shall be entitled to enter upon the property of any licensed person and enter any building, room or place thereon used in connection with the training or breeding of horses when exercising their power under these Rules. Got bored so had a look - can't find anything in relation to your numbers 3 and 4.
-
Unfortunately, if the government restricts travel between regions like Auckland and Waikato then I can't see either venue getting a worthwhile meeting off the ground
