The Centaur Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The ruling specifically on a number of occasions stated that Weir was not being accused of using electric shock equipment. So what do one of the many fake news providors do? https://www.radionz.co.nz/news/world/381885/trainer-s-four-year-ban-for-using-electric-shocks-on-horses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Diceman's Been Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) I usually enjoy the banter between the two leading racing forums.....it gets a little heated at times but a bucket of cold water usually has the desired effect BUT I must admit to being somewhat bemused when the obnoxious Head Shriller gave Lee Freedman a serve for having an opinion on the Weir situation. This is the same Shriller who has an expert opinion on absolutely anything and everything.

Fred Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Is that the same Lee Freedman that got disqualified for a ring in ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Diceman's Been Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) I'm not sure about a ring in Fred. There were other matters that he transgressed, but does that disqualify him from having an opinion?

Yes, definitely a ring in -the stable was taken over by his brother who voiced so many opinions there was no room for anyone else to have one. In fact he had more opinions than old Thomas.

The Diceman's Been Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Fred, if you are saying that having a black mark against someone automatically disqualifies them from having an opinion, then you need to readjust that biased attitude, in my humble opinion. ? Let's start with Chris Waller. His racing manager shafted the nicest group of owners you will ever find, and I mean shafted in a very underhand deceptive manner. Waller sacks him, sends him on an overseas jaunt but guess who is now back in the stable fold - very quietly. Does that stop the press asking his opinion on a daily basis? My point being that everyone is entitled to an opinion, and I found it very hypocritical that Feedman is given a serve by someone who loves providing wisdom, wanted or not, on a regular basis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowley Mile Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Sorry TDB, I'm interrupting here, however, I see on the Dr's Surgery channel [RC] a poster called Tim Vince is saying 'No Video'.....there is no video........do these people not read the official reports, and I mean official, how the hell did the Feds get a 'still photo' then? The same photo they presented to Weir and he refused to comment on?........the Cops and the Stewards have said ''they don't have a video at this time''........why would they say this time?....how then is there are a photo?.....and they used the words FEDS.....as in our Federal Police HQ Canberra, the Nations Capital, specialising in cross border events?.....oh whoa is me, help me out here, is there something in the water over there?

I have NEVER suggested that someone could not voice an opinion -I don't know why you suggest that. My reference was referring to the stones/glasshouses situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Diceman's Been Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Which can easily be conjuncted with: "People in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones, or masturbate during daylight hours" Which is the point I was making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomass Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Below is the 2006 RVL Stewards report into Weir's apparent tubing...and McClean's guilty az behaviour... It shows these two should have been closely watched...as in having permanent camera's installed in their stables....they do it on Fishing Boats now... what's the prob in an industry that requires INTEGRITY 100% of the time? 54. Mr Weir, regarding the extraordinary lengths you went to hide the drenching gear from Monaghan and Dunn, the Stewards find it remarkable and disappointing that an experienced trainer such as you would go along with such a ridiculous and half-baked plan. Assuming your evidence about what actually occurred in the stable was accepted, this whole matter could have been avoided if you had not acted in such a foolhardy manner. The Stewards also find it disappointing that when you had the opportunity to explain why you acted in this way on race day, instead of telling the whole truth, you offered a completely improbable explanation: that explanation being that you, an experienced trainer, clearly familiar with Stewards’ procedures and the conduct of stable inspections, decided to hide drenching gear of your own volition, because you didn’t wish to cause Mr McLean any “trouble”. Perhaps this misleading evidence was itself designed also to keep Mr McLean out of trouble, but again we reiterate that you were a contributor to your own troubles on this day. 55. Mr McLean, I have already gone over the concerns the Stewards have about some of the evidence you have given in this inquiry. Unfortunately for you, your involvement in this matter is not over. It seems likely to the Stewards that charges are warranted in respect of some of your evidence. If this is the case it will be a matter for the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board to determine. In any event we will review the relevant evidence and you will be advised within Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't go picking on our water . You be careful over there cobber.........just saying. A burnt out advertising executive decides he has had enough of the rat race & buys a property way out west. No electricity, no phones - no company.He has read everything he can &, after a few weeks is getting a bit bored. One afternoon he seens the dust coming up way in the distance coming towards him, a while later a crusty old bushie gets out of a battered holden ute and puts out his hand."Hello mate, I'm your closest neighbour, live about 20 miles up the road, thought we'd chuck ya a bash to welcome you to the area""Sounds great" says the ad-man."I hear you city boys like your drugs and drink so we'll get that in for ya.""Sounds awesome" says the ad-man"we tend to get a bit punchie and horny 'round here after all those drugs & drink though, can ya handle yerself if a blue kicks off or a bit of sex is on the cards?""I go alright" say the ad-man"this all sounds great, what time should I come and what should I wear?""Doesn't really mattter" says the bushie "it is only going to be you and me"....... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
