Loss of a very good young horse. So sad for all involved. Racing can be heartbreaking as well as every other emotion under the sun. Was it to do with the bad leg which was keeping him out this spring.

On what grounds, one wonders? He was acquitted based on the maths of rule they charged him by. Not sure there's any room for different interpretation.

How does the supreme court have any authority over what happens in racing?
What's the next level, a high court challenge? |

Was a stallion prospect, looks like part of him was already sold off from original owners as Widden Stud is listed in ownership. Is their insurance for potential stallion prospects who aren't top notch prospects yet, even though he was a decently bred Listed and G3 winner? |

RV stewards to appeal Mark Riley findingRV stewards advised on Tuesday evening that they will shortly seek leave to appeal against the finding of the Supreme Court of Victoria in the matter of Riley vs Racing Victoria Ltd. The stewards will appeal against the Supreme Court’s 1 October, 2015 decision to overturn a three-year disqualification handed to Riley by the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board and the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal for the alleged administration of a prohibited substance to the horse Gold For Kev in July 2014. As the matter remains before the courts, the stewards said they will be making no further comment at this time. Riley, a Group 1-winning trainer, challenged the decision all the way to the Supreme Court after losing his initial appeal at VCAT in March. Both the VCAT and RAD Board decisions were overturned by Justice Bell, who determined an error of law because of an issue with the rounding up of data from a laboratory. The Court heard that the two initial TC02 readings given by the two laboratories, RASL and RSC, were 37.1mmol/L and 36.1 mmol/L respectively. But the application of a 1mmol/L measurement of uncertainty meant that only the RASL test could be viewed as being above the maximum level. It was later confirmed that the RASL sample was rounded up from 37.061 and Riley’s counsel successfully argued that there was nothing in the RVL rules which allowed for samples to be rounded up and in fact, the sample should have been confirmed at 37.0 mmol/L. With the 1mmol/L measurement of uncertainty, the sample falls to 36.0, legally within the threshold, which means no breach had taken place. The ruling stated: “Mr Riley has established that VCAT erred in law in two respects. First, it misinterpreted the Rules by deciding that a person could be found guilty and penalised upon the basis of rounded-up laboratory results. Second, it took into account scientific evidence that was incapable of proving, or assisting in proving, that the person was guilty. Although two errors of law have been established, the common feature of both is the misinterpretation of the Rules.” It later went on to say: “As the Rules, properly interpreted, did not permit a disqualification to be imposed upon the basis of rounded-up test results and the scientific evidence was incapable of supporting a finding of guilt, Mr Riley should be completely exonerated.” The court ordered that the VCAT and the RAD Board decisions be set aside. |

Stewards received a report from the Compliance Assurance Team after they visited the stables of trainer Mark Riley on Saturday 9 January, 2016 and found that Innocent Hero, which was engaged to race at Mornington Sunday 10 January, 2016 had been treated with Hippiron on Friday 8 January, however no such treatment had been recorded as required under the provisions of AR178F. After interviewing Assistant Trainer Logan McGill and Trainer Mark Riley via phone, Mark Riley pleaded guilty to a charge, in that he as the trainer of the gelding failed to comply with the provisions of AR178F by not recording the administration of Hippiron to that gelding on 8 January, 2016, the day it was stated to have been administered to it. Mark Riley was fined $400. In assessing penalty, Stewards took into account his guilty plea, his record and also took into account the serious nature of the offence, which had caused concern as to whether the Innocent Hero had been treated within the one clear day restriction. |

Written Tycoon colt headlines final day at Magic MillionsDarryl Sherer - 10 Jan 2016 Mornington trainer Mark Riley stepped back into sale ring action when spending $230,000 on a colt by Written Tycoon at the final day of the Magic Millions yearling sale on Sunday. Consigned by Woodside Park, home of the sire of Capitalist and Rich Enuff, the dark brown is a half-brother to Hong Kong winner The last horse Riley purchased at the Gold Coast was Group III winner Of The Brave and he said he had waited all week to purchase this colt. "He was the one I wanted and waited for, I bought a cheapie earlier but it failed the scope and this was the one I really wanted," Riley said. "He cost more than I was hoping to pay but he’s worth it, "He’s beautifully put together, a very athletic colt, just the type I like buying.” Riley said the win of Capitalist in Saturday’s Magic Millions 2YO Classic had not influenced his purchase. "Even without Capitalist - who is clearly very good "He’s a very good stallion and with better opportunities now he is only going to get |

RAD Board - Mark Riley
The Racing Appeals and Disciplinary (RAD) Board has today allowed an appeal by trainer Mark Riley against the severity a penalty awarded to him for having breached AR 178F. At Mornington on 10 January 2016, Riley pleaded guilty to a charge under AR 178F and was fined the sum of $400.

Another month, another positive. This time for Dexaforte (cortisone) administered to Undercover Poet Jan 1st.
From the email to owners: I
have followed all of their guidelines & procedures regarding this
therapeutic drug (cortisone) which I had confirmed by their vet as to when
& how it can be used. So therefore I dont understand how I can be held
accountable for a positive test when following their advise. This matter will
now go before the stewards and Racing Board

Been caught with a jigger (known to be in his possession for months). Kicked of of Dubai for beating the crap out of a horse with a stock whip. Positive to Stanozolol and used a bit of wood to beat the crap out of his daughter's partner. Apart from that, I can't see what he has done to deserve the sprays on here? [/QUOTE]
A couple of minor misdemeanors, and the swabs were probably all wrong, and the horse ate mouldy corn. Here is a pillar of racing who has had a couple of minor hiccups. This is obviously another mistake and should see him get a minor fine or reprimand. Callender, Zerafa and Clarke could all give him some references as to his good character, or he could get Stanley, Schofield and Prior to help sell a few to Honkers. Stewards should focus on getting the real bad guys who publicly complain about the decision to let a horse run in a Group race after the clapper was kicked out of it. Or those who complain about not enough sandwiches. Their the ones bringing racing into disrepute. |

It's no wonder so few horses finish their careers fit enough to persue otherdisciplines, without needing 6mths+ recouperating. Do any race without being constantly topped up with anti inflamms & pain killers?
Racing Victoria (RV) Stewards have received a report from Racing Analytical Services Limited (RASL) confirming that a prohibited substance has been detected in a sample collected from the Kane Harris trained racehorse, Crooner. The report relates to a pre-race urine sample taken from Crooner which finished unplaced in the Red Tempo Handicap over 1000 metres at Flemington racecourse on 1 January 2016. RASL reported that the sample contained Dexamethasone (a short-acting corticosteroid) which is a prohibited substance in accordance with the Australian Rules of Racing. RV Stewards initially informed Mr Harris of the irregularity on Tuesday 9 February 2016 and have advised Mr Harris of the confirmatory findings late last week. The investigation is continuing. |

Mornington trainer Mark Riley fronted the Court of Appeal on Tuesday as Racing Victoria stewards try to get his three-year disqualification reinstated.
In October, the Supreme Court overturned the three-year ban handed to Riley by the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board (and confirmed by VCAT) for the alleged administration of a prohibited substance. The charge relates to an elevated TC02 reading from Gold For Kev in July 2014. Justice Kevin Bell determined the RAD Board and VCAT made an error in law because of an issue with the rounding up of data from the laboratory. Shortly afterwards, RV announced it would challenge the decision in the Court of Appeal. That appeal was heard on Tuesday by President Maxwell, Justice Hansen and Justice Osborne and it has been adjourned. A decision will be handed down at a date to be confirmed. |

BIG NEWS.... GONE THIS TIME
The career of Mark Riley could be over after Racing Victoria won its appeal against a decision to clear the trainer of doping at the state's highest court on Wednesday. The Mornington-based trainer had been cleared in October last year by the Victorian Supreme Court but that decision was overturned by the Court of Appeal. Riley was given a three-year disqualification by the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board in January last year after his horse Gold For Kev returned an elevated total carbon-dioxide (TCO2) reading, known as 'alkalinising agents'. The results of a blood test had found the horse had a reading of 37.1 millimoles per litre of plasma, which exceeded the legal limit of 36.0 millimoles. The analysis used to determine the reading was rounded up from 37.061 to 37.1 millimoles and an error margin of 1.0 was applied to reach the finding. Riley appealed the matter to VCAT and then the Victorian Supreme Court, challenging the result as the rules of racing did not allow 'rounding up' when testing for a prohibited substance. Supreme Court Judge Justice Kevin Bell agreed with Riley's submission and exonerated the trainer, with Racing Victoria subsequently filing an appeal. And Court of Appeal judges Justice Chris Maxwell, Hartley Hansen and Robert Osborn disagreed with that decision and ruled in Racing Victoria's favour. "In our view, the clear intention of the Rules of Racing, by which Mr Riley agreed to be bound, was that the task of determining whether prohibited substances were present would be carried out by accredited laboratories ... in accordance with the scientific methods and procedures appropriate to that task," the summary judgment read regarding the findings. "The Rules of Racing specified the permissible concentration of the relevant substances as '36.0' mmol/L. The unchallenged expert evidence before the Tribunal was that when, as here, a prescribed concentration is expressed to one decimal place, rounding is the means by which an accredited laboratory expresses its measurement of concentration to one decimal place." Riley was also ordered to pay Racing Victoria's costs. "We acknowledge the Court of Appeal's decision today which upheld an appeal by Racing Victoria against an earlier decision of the Supreme Court," said Racing Victoria spokesperson Shaun Kelly in a statement. "The Court of Appeal found that the analytical processes of the official racing laboratories were valid and confirmed the earlier findings of the RAD Board and VCAT that a prohibited substance was detected in the relevant sample taken from Gold For Kev, trained by Mark Riley. "As a result, the administration charge under AR 175(h)(i) against Mr Riley is also confirmed, and Mr Riley is disqualified for a period of three years." Riley's period of disqualification takes effect on October 1, 2016 with the trainer having 10 days to get his affairs in order. He cannot race horses within that period. |
