Yes...and her and her 'average' size is one of the reasons for her longevity...less pressure on those front knees etc...and she is a wonder all right. A real 'thinker'. she apparently can sort a lot of things for herself which most horses wouldn't get near to. We're priviliged to live when she is racing the way she is. 1 Quote
Thomass Posted September 5, 2018 Author Posted September 5, 2018 So it turns out some of these people charged have links to the Lebanese Mafia... They have connections to relatives in Australia...a country with massive LM history... Its incredible how this has been allowed to fester for so long... Obviously the RIU had knowledge about these dodgy characters and by going to the Feds...disavowed any knowledge... ...of dodgy drives and continued drug use..just how many drivers were drug tested in the 18 months? SFA... If they'd questioned any suspicious activity it would more than likely have given the guilty a sniff...So to speak... Im betting the left...the Feds told the RIU to stay schtung... ...at the expense of Punters...and INTEGRITY 1 Quote

Most recreational drugs on the street corner if you look hard enough. And administering drugs to horses is as old as the horse itself. No sport is immune from drugs, or cheats for that matter. If one is looking for a perfect world to operate in then you definitely need to start using. 1 Quote

globederby12 Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 You are working on presuppositions and unsubstantiated evidence with your obviously slanted bias againsted the Harness Industry. How did they hurt you Thomas?. I am an owner in the same industry, and while I am naturally upset at the proceedings I have great confidence in the integrity of most in the Industry. 4 Quote
barryb Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 Thomass does the same with his punting GD. Hes best treated like the old uncle who sits in the corner perving at the ladies and constantly pissing his pants, just best not to take seriously. 5 Quote

Pfffft..."great confidence"...have you had a "party lolly"? The big fish are rotten...heard of head down rot? Is it a coincidence that one of the partners in AS is up for "supply"...while the other partner was convicted of handling Blue Magic.. ...then two stable hands get pinged for using drugs in the float to the Drugmules... ...massive publicity over that.. ...a stable gets pinged over 4 positives....the co trainer's now up on a fixing charge ...your top driver...who used to work for AS...is up on a fixing charge as well ...not only that but your rotten 'industry' has allowed the Leb Marfia to get a foothold...heard of gambling/ drugs don't = INTEGRITY Your 'sport' is rotton to the core on prima facie...accept the obvious If it smells like a fish...it's rotten..ok Edited September 6, 2018 by Thomass 1 Quote
Rowley Mile Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 Tommy, what about Baker and Son? 3 positives in one day, a world record, didn't seem to effect them, they just dusted off and on they went, although the son did bolt to AIS ......and I bet he doesn't regret that one iota, nor would Forsman come to think of it! 1 1 Quote

Actually I thought it was four. Many years ago just before you linked with Brian Deacon he got about four on the day. Prior to the disclosure someone from the lab came up to him and wanted $2000 to keep it quiet. Deacon wasn't having any of that and as the positives were a genuine mistake I think he got off quite lightly. One of the horses was his star at the time Grand Win and the place the old Bulls track. 1 Quote

Guest CrossCodes Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 If Rasmussen is involved then maybe you are talking about the Lesbian mafia, not the Lebanese. Some of those girls would scare the bejezuz out of me! Quote

Absolutely certain although can't remember how many got disqualified in the end. I think he admitted he gave the same stuff to all the horses so they may have disqualified without actually testing all of them. Fairly certain Grand Win was disqualifed. I did a stint at Deacons during the school holidays about 1965 which was a great experience. Never rode trackwork apart from trotting but rode Grand Win to and from the track. Fantastic mare. At the time the big news was Brian Hayter getting a positive which was more serious than Deac's and I distinctly remember Pauline having a wry smile when Hayter got a couple years disqualification. You are probably right about Ginner Hart but can't recall when. Quote

Certainly remember Butch and got on real well. Regret I didn't keep in touch. Didn't get on so well with Maurice C. which was before he became apprentice. Nevertheless M.C. as Mr Mink's trackwork rider told me just what they thought of Mr Mink and when I asked Deac why he was spending more time with the horse he looked up the yard and said he'll be worth far more than the lot of them. At the time Mr Mink had a swelling which they couldn't get rid of therefore delaying his first start. So Mr Mink was the first serious bet I ever had and from memory paid about $5.00 at Stratford. Nowadays a horse with that type of stable reputation first up would be odds on. 1 Quote
