God almighty, he's admitted he's the head trainer!......therefore under the rules of racing he requires a licence....oh, hang on...it's Lloyd, nah, she'll be right......

I'm sure the silks could dissolve that "gotcha" without much trouble.

Fort he record once more, I don't care, just don't tell everyone there is nothing he's doing wrong, or that people who think he is doing the wrong thing are just jealous.

You mean the "named" trainer ? Of course, that does not change.

It should though in the context that the named trainer is executing on someone else's blueprint and decision. That's why Execs are personally liable in a business setting, not their staff.

The trainer and owner presumably arrive at a mutually acceptable arrangement.

Yes that's what I mean, no matter how many foremen are running the show, the buck still stops with the head trainer - which is the difference from the Lloyd situation.

It is a matter for any trainer to accept or decline the conditions any owner places on his training of that owner's horses. I'm sure we've all seen the signs in mechanics workshop etc, about their hourly rate, say $50 an hour, customer watches, $70 an hour, customer helps, $100 an hour. It is all a matter of coming to a mutual agreement between trainer and owner.

i would begrudgingly agree to the pro lloyd stance here (in relation to the debate, not lloyd himself) if he didnt publically announce he was in fact the trainer.

once he made that announcement, different ball game.

Cabo, you could publicly announce yourself a mass murderer, but I guarantee the police would not be around to make further enquiries. Even the van with the men in white coats, wouldn't show up.

Correct me if I'm wrong but in the case of wrongdoing e.g. giving a horse banned substances, the stewards are able to take action against non-licensed persons if they are deemed culpable.

I think it is all quite funny considering Lloyd came out last week and questioned integrity of Victorian Racing, when it has been going on at his stables for years. 

The rule is clear if you are training the horses, you need to be deemed competent but also to accept the care of the horses. 

As evidenced in the Maher/Connolly/Karakatasinis matters, it is down to prevent an external influences over the stable and ensure someone is able to be held to account for any integrity issues. 

If a horse was to have a positive out of their stable, Lloyd has set up in a way where he would not be the fall guy. 

Racing also set up competencies across the board to ensure a level of standard in response to people feeling the industry was unregulated. Previously you did not have to show any form of study or accrediation to be a stable hand but even that is now regulated. 

If the stewards are genuine he should be penalised.

What sort of penalty can they imposed and on what grounds? 

If his operation is set up in full compliance then they would need a bit more than an old guy on the radio saying "I'm the trainer" to make anything stick.

in lloyds case - it should be misleading stewards or deception.

I find all this who-ha a little stranger personally... Everyone I know when talking about Waller or Weir say Team Waller or Team Weir. I don't think I've every heard Team Hickmott previously, I know plenty who refer to lloyds horses as Team Williams.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't think any racing folk would have been shocked that Lloyd runs the show.

The nominated trainer takes the risk no matter who is around his horses, does he not ?

If I put an index finger in each ear, and stand on one leg, I find that I can easily pretend Lloyd didn't say anything incriminating.

If they, RV, that is, has integrity,....oh and transparency, and good governance, then they should suspend the Macedon Lodge operation immediately. An inquiry into Lloyd's comment should follow and then a decision as to the future of that operation. When an owner steps up and says, '' I tell them what feed to feed and to who, and what work to give the horses'' then he is the trainer, and that's a whole pandora's box.......but it has to be done...and quickly as Lloyd and the stewards have brought racing into disrepute.

I am told Lloyd was not present at Macedon Lodge at any stage last year when Almandin won the Cup. He did, however, instruct and oversee this years Cup preparations on site.

Can anyone confirm that?
