Between races nine and 10 on the card, Bellman approached a licensed female driver from behind, flicked his whip between her thighs, and said 'where's your face mask'. Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) Stewards issued Bellman with a charge under AHRR 231(1)(f), which reads: a person shall not otherwise interfere improperly with anyone employed, engaged or participating in the harness racing industry or otherwise having a connection with it. Bellman pleaded guilty to the charge at a Victorian Racing Tribunal (VRT) hearing on August 17. "By your actions, you caused considerable distress to the female driver. It is relevant that you committed this act at her workplace and in circumstances where she had every right and expectation that she would be treated properly by you. "Your actions were more than just stupid. They were completely wrong," the written decision of the VRT reads. The VRT imposed a penalty of three months suspension but Bellman has applied to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal for a review of the decision. The VRT released the following statement: By your actions, you caused considerable distress to the female driver. It is relevant that you committed this act at her workplace and in circumstances where she had every right and expectation that she would be treated properly by you. Your actions were more than just stupid. They were completely wrong. In our opinion, during the relevant period you made only a qualified apology to the female driver for your behaviour. Your personal circumstances. You started as a 16 year old in the harness racing industry in 1997. It would be fair to say that your whole family, including your grandfather, father, mother and other family members, has been involved in harness racing industry for a considerable period of time. You are a very successful driver and have been for a long time. It is clear you love the industry and you have obtained awards. You have made strong contributions to public welfare and have raised money for many causes, including breast and prostate cancer. You have excellent character references, which speak highly of you as a role model. They describe you as being loyal, approachable and one who gives assistance to people in their professional and private lives. You have also borne the pressures of a domestic dispute involving custody of your children. We have taken into account your plea of guilty, your personal circumstances and your good history within the harness racing industry. The principle of general deterrence is relevant in determining an appropriate penalty. Those working in the industry must be deterred from interfering with their fellow workmates whilst they are going about their normal duties. Mr Hannan, on behalf of Mr Bellman, submitted that the victim being female has no relevance. We do not accept that submission. We are of the opinion that it does have relevance. Putting a whip between a female’s thighs from behind and using it in a flicking motion is totally unacceptable. The purpose of the Rule is to protect those working in the harness racing industry. It is also important that women of all ages are encouraged to participate in the industry without having to deal with improper interference. In all the circumstances, we impose a penalty of 3 months suspension.

How much did you help the tab with all your losing tips.you really want to compete with the whale(goldfish)to see who can lose the most.FACT.

Craig d thornley his drive on the dominator was one of I'm not trying to win........or incompedent drive.why on earth did he go to the inside.hes got to go one way or the other.he like Ben hope just give it away your pathetic.

And Ben hope should not be allowed to ever drive in a race again.hes the worst driver since Clint ford.he will never learn.just like alot of them just close your eyes and hope for the best.ben would put all them bad Tim Williams slaughter jobs to shame.but there's a big difference Tim all ways had the ability he just had to learn how to drive to win and did.ben shows no ability or ever the ability to win a race.

There is a interview with Dexter Dunn when he just arrived in USA saying everything you've said brodie.dexter had enough of the bullshit.the racing in australia and NZ is beyond criminal with the rules in play. totally different from the major countries putting our racing in a very poor light as it is dangerous and full of team driving and race fixing.nz trots is in a even poorer light due to no swabbing of nearly all horses and three leading stewards who time after time prove they are not capable of doing there jobs and failing to protect the industry.thats you Nick Vinny and Steve of amazing dream beyond words fame.hows beyond words going.i bet who bought it would be spewing they got conned by the horses form looking way better than it really was.

No one has a opinion or you all agree

Since when does spelling matter.does it make you have a less IQ no.does it make you money on the punt being a good speller.nice pot shot I like cause if you cannot take it don't dish it out.all the best Cheif no hate

Your right I doubt it will beat daggy lamb

Nathan Williamson is the only great driver I could not fit in.

Shree is one of the dumbest.what her drives last year she gives them none and she's dumb.doesny or carnt win a race

1 Blair orange 2 Mathew Williamson. 3 John Morrison (J). 4 Tim williams. 5 John Dunn. Worst drivers never bet on. 1 Elle Barron. 2 Ben hope. 3 Craig Thornley. 4 Shree thomilson. 5 Laura McKay. What's yours.

Ben hopes drive on hittheroadjack was appalling.hes a dumb retarded driver that's proven fact

Ben hope is pathetic and a useless driver.even the girls drive better than him.what a fuck wit

One of the side affects from blue juice magic is the feet.good riddens might be a decent race now.

The two are friends and John drives Jason horses often so it's the same as Colin.these stewards are retarded and I could still sue Nick and vinny over the dsq of love the blues costing me a 4k win which it did.peter lamb must go as well.

My first tip is the spitfire 7/1 opening price .the rest later

I'm not joking.brodie is wrong.spitfire will put egg all over Brodie the liberal national extremest.

Barkley and purdon same vet or meds or same horse mistreatment.talk about a wasted talent for horse.should of been in USA a years ago brainless carnt train carnt drive

The spitfire 7/1 John Dunn champion race fixer will run it for the spitfire gas he's one spitfire will just keep going .for today pussy cat milk drinking useless horse will splatter egg all over that liberal national extremest

Put Tim the butcher boy Willams on self assured see what happens.put any girl bar Nat or Sam on see what happens.hrnz is inept and so is NZ trots.just like your ponies anything with ability gone USA Canada when will we see more drivers and trainers do the same as Todd McCarthy.the money on offer makes it worth it.if that happened NZ trots would become very inept.please Brodie this is racing forum not political so your liberal national views not welcomed carnt wait for the pot cafes go Jacinta

It's time to bombard hrnz with complaints about the handicapped system.its been nothing but a total disaster since the rating system started.i congratulate Mark Jones for being one of the most honest best trainers and giving great assessment of his runners most of the time which is great for the sport and punters.mark Jones is a leading light.

DO WHAT THEY PLANNED BEFORE RACE

Zachary Butcher will take this former champ straight to the lead of the mobile and the champ will be back!!you will see what a difference in a driver does.look at the jnrs and novices that have driven him.mark will not risk breaking oscar.GO MARCOOLA!!!!!

they only won the trot final due to shree being a fucking stupid idiot jnr WHO DROVE AGAINST TRAINERS INSTRUCTIONS AND GOT WHAT THE FAMILY TOTALLY DESERVED..leave the horse with barry and get someone who can actually drive to drive it like zac butcher. on top of that i think brad totally fucked up as well and should of went with it 3 wide instead strangling it losing ground and only trotting it out the last 100.i want the all stars to move there operation to usa but they wont as there dont have the balls to do it!!!!!!
