Sam Kavanagh

If the reporters aren't putting out the specifics, its almost certainly because their employers legal arm have told them not to.

It is of great interest clinically if there are other positives present as the stats surrounding levels exceeding thresholds etc being so tiny would/could possibly be reviewed.. The circumstances surrounding them would be interesting, the actual levels recorded etc, explanations why/how the threshold was exceeded..
Especially if these trainers are cleanskins with no rumours etc surrounding them or their horses...

As i said earlier. Comes across as yet another attemped diversion.

C'mon everyone, dig deep, forget Ben, he's got plenty, but KAV JNR needs a leg up, what say we all hit our kicks, Gerry is, good old Gerry, while we're at it, Let's all drop in to HN and pick up a tele, or a fridge, lets support Gerry as he goes into bat for poor old Sam, he'll need heaps cos Gerry has lots of slow ones, and if anyone can improve a slow one...it's Sam K......or Ben C........or Darren S....or Ben S....oh God, stop me.....it's mind bending.

Racing industry gets better by the day

The problem is the Gai Waterhouse effect.

Before she took the AJC to court, whatever the race club decided was the decision.

Now if you are suspended or disqualified you can fight it and if the investigation or evidence is corrupted in anyway you will have to be reinstated.

Racing survives on integrity and perception. And judges who probably have never seen a race track or horse, at these VCAT'S AND QCAT'S, are quite within their right to reverse a decision on legal issues, however the racing jurisdiction, should also have the right to reject a persons application, if their conduct and image is detrimental to the industry.

Kavanagh and Currie, may be legally able to return to training but the clubs have enough to deny them reinstatement on integrity grounds.

However the fact Gai took the AJC to court has them all running scared, so they just let them in.

I can tell you now, I will not be betting in any race that Currie or Kavanagh have runners in!

Some may say better the devil you know....

Was there something about this kav kid, that involved tipping horses to media or telling the public that his could not win? I remember something? TVN reporters being involved?

Brent Zerafa got penalised- ?? publicly tipped against a horse he had privately backed and had text tips from John ‘The Ghost’ Camilleri on his phone.. Camilleri was implicated in drenching the horses iirc??

Gai is clean? Do you know different? lol...compared to these two she is beyond reproach.
