Gross over reation by the precious PC brigade . Doesn't take much to tear their nighties . More B.S. .

Sadly veterinary source no longer with us RIP

Quite right Chief everything is ship shape .

Like I said it was a whisper but the silence was deafening . Opportunity lost .

The selective drug testing has been going on for years with a blind eye turned to certain stables results . These days there may be the development of masking drugs . Heard a whisper a few years a few years back .

With Goober at the helm 😲 . You answered your own question .

It is a shit show m8 .

Don't blame the trainers in the least . Some of the on-board fraudsters could be told a lot worse . Previously have had " said jockey " ride a last start winner and notable backrunning stayer ridden as a front runner at a cut throat pace until the horse compounded and when jockey was confronted about the ride said jock whe returning the colours in a bag explained that there was a small rip in the colours . In reality the colours had been purposefully ripped up both side seams to the armpits . Rob Heathcoate should be congradualted for expressing his displeasure and the powers that be should pull there heads in and focus their priorities elsewhere .

Very true with regards to the veterinary intervention as per numerous palpations & whatever else etc . $6500 mainly due to " palpations or flushes from a Zabeel mare ( winning family ) who supposedly conceived twins to a 4k stallion & no foal . Not the only one I've heard about also & some have concerned imported mares . Great way to expand the genetic base .

Just a thought with regards to this embryo debacle , this must only be the tip of the iceberg as at branding & microchipping time sample are taken by the veterinarian to be DNA tested for registration purposes . Forgive my naivety but if embryo transfer was being used on certain mares in order to breed the " Group 1 " champion then surely some DNA must be disturbingly closely related . How big is the can of worms and what damage controls will be implemented by those concerned & industry leaders ? Oh dear .

The wet bus ticket was in action once more . A riding standard to be lauded !

From a technical point of view Maija had a balanced technique over a fence . The accident may have been a random accident or from one of the photos of the horse jumping there is a possibility of tight triceps causing the horse's front legs to cross slightly exaggerating any contact with a fence causing the horse to fall . Wishing Maija a complete recovery over time . The speedier , the better .

They were both taken out into the Bush and given a spade each .

Are the gallopers immune or will they be involved in the crossover or cross fire ? Time to take the blinkers off .

Would a positive drug test result be considered fraud given that I may enhance pecuniary gain or depending what was used , inhibit a race performance in order to manipulate a race outcome ?

To have someone charged under two jurisdictions ie: the Police & the RIU would fall under the category of " double jeopardy " which means that the second Jurisdiction ( Police ) would have no grounds to try to prosecute the defendant's . The order of trial is correct as the RIU have had an extremely poor track record at adhering to procedure . History illustrates this quite clearly .
