the galah Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) So the above stable has again made the headlines. Same old same old unfortunately. There was a stable inspection done this morning and the result is the above horse was scratched under the rule that refers to administration of a substance on raceday. Well done to those that uncovered the cheating. Perhaps surprising the stable got to start the remainder of their team on the day. Edited November 8, 2022 by the galah 1 1 Quote

Brodie Posted November 9, 2022 Posted November 9, 2022 Nothing has been published yet? Are we allowed to know what Phil Burrows is accused of? Was he potted or was stipes in trees again? Do not think many of them would be agile enough to climb any trees! Quote

Brodie old fruit, I know it can be difficult in the old folks home, but please try and make some effort to keep up — this has been out for the best part of 2 days: "Acting on a report provided by Racing Investigators who completed a stable inspection at the training premises of P Burrows this morning, Stewards ordered that RAKERO REBEL be scratched from Race 7 acting under Rule 213(1)(c). An investigation was opened into this matter. Swab samples were taken on course from RAKERO STORM (Race 2), MUSCLE BANK (Race 3), MILLWOOD INDIE (Race 4) and RAKERO REBEL." 1 Quote

Harness racing has progressively become far harder to make it pay financially for owners and trainers!!! Due to this fact I believe that many trainers are feeling to compete with the bigger more successful stables they are making the decision to break the harness racing laws . The microscopic no. Of trainers getting caught are not bad people but are obviously just wanting results for the horses owners and themselves. Without winning races their horse training careers will be over! I reiterate I am not condoning cheating, but there is just so much more pressure on trainers than there used to be, just like in. All other industries. Increased Pressures have been put on most people and business now due to the many bad Government decisions over the past few years. 1 Quote

Basil, totally agree, Brodie not keeping up with the play with harness nowadays, but that is no problem for me. Other projects have taken priority and more profitable. Great that I have other contributors on this Premier Racing Forum to help me out. Hope you are keeping well Basil? 1 Quote
Robalan Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 There's an old saying. "If your trainer is not getting positives, he's not trying hard enough" Quote
TheHorseman Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 I see 7 horses have had a stable change from the Burrows stable. Has Burrows been side-lined whilst the investigation takes place? Anyone know the latest on the investigation and any sanctions on Burrows? Quote
Honestjohn Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 I don't doubt burrows will be found guilty. The stables of him, McGrath smell of a stench! Hj Quote
the galah Posted March 24, 2023 Author Posted March 24, 2023 I see M Anderson got 5 years 3 months a couple of weeks back. Of note,was the lack of media coverage of such a lengthy disqualification. I would have thought it might have got a mention in hrnz news,or the likes of harnesslink might have given it a mention. Makes you wonder what those who conrtol the content of such sites consider newsworthy. They must think Out of sight,out of mind. 1 Quote

Because its information about the consequences of serious breaches of hrnz rules and people have an interest in that. Also, I would have thought by giving it coverage it may discourage others from committing such serious offences. One is left to wonder,given some of the background details of this case, does that explain why the lack of coverage. Who knows,but its an obvious thing to consider. Then you are left wondering about what else? Edited March 24, 2023 by the galah 1 Quote

Are you suggesting all the horses should be retired because racing is too stressful? BTW you can get a drug positive for administering a legal drug that improves the health of a horse. Sometimes trainers push the withholding period a tad close or a horses metabolism is not the same as the average horse or both. Quote

Are you suggesting all the horses should be retired because racing is too stressful? Was just having a little joke Chief about the Trainer himself personally Testing Positive to something. not the horses. To answer your question though, racing can be pretty stressful for horses. they are certainly put under a lot of strain and injury (hoof and tendon mainly) are not that uncommon . not mention internal strain. But they do love to run , and are able to carry loads , etc and have helped out pulling things from Milkcarts to stagecoaches to cannons into battle for centuries. so No . no need to retire while doing something with their lives lol...... The Trainer gets best results with the best diet/add-ins and technique money can buy. To achieve this result >>>>>>>>>>>If you look good , you feel good , then you go good ?
