Race-fixing arrests at biggest meet of year rock Harness Racing Victoria

Mark Buttler, Herald Sun

DETECTIVES arrested leading harness racing figures last night over race-fixing allegations following the sport’s biggest meet of the year.

Sports corruption police detained a number of industry figures at the big Breeders Crown meeting held at the Melton track and elsewhere.

Top trainer-driver Nathan Jack was among those arrested alongside his girlfriend and fellow leading driver and trainer, Amanda Turnbull.

Jack trains out of Shepparton and Mengangle in NSW with Turnbull, with both seen as champions of the industry.

The investigation has centred on a race at Cobram on June 22 last year, won by a horse called Airborne Magic, trained by David Bartley.

Watched the replay , Jack set up a savage tempo , quickest mile rate of the night . Winner fell in by a lip so someone didn't tell B Gath on the second horse as he got way too close for comfort I'd say . Odds on favorite always way off them never looked likely ..

It's what the NOVELTIES pay (tri,first four,quaddies)  (a)TAB and (b)SPORTS BOOKIES have to pay....without the odds on. Over-do it and what's bet, how it's bet and where it's bet, that can cause ALARM BELLS.

.....and who collects (vision would exist) and when/where collected and how much collected at any one spot.

Total it up and you find the culprits

In accordance with the provisions of AHRR 183, the HRV Stewards have directed the suspension of the licences of the four relevant participants, with immediate effect, for no longer than 3 months (should circumstances remain the same)  while the investigation continues.  Pursuant to AHRR 15(d), the relevant participants have also been excluded from attending racecourses in Victoria for no longer than 3 months (should circumstances remain the same)  while the investigation continues.  The participants have been advised of their rights of appeal against this decision of the HRV Stewards.  Any such appeal must be lodged with the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary (RAD) Board by 5.00pm on Monday 12 September 2016.

With respect to the further investigation by Victoria Police, HRV is unable to make any further comment at this time.

yes the investigation has been underway for sometime and there are other races in question too.
I have 3 horses in the sport and the only reason is that I was once involved in the game and I worked with leading trainers and believe me when I say what went on was incredible but it happens in both codes lets be realists about it the integrity commission for both sports are a bit slow on the uptake shall we say.

With respect to the actions taken by Victoria Police at the Melton harness racing meeting on 28 August 2016 involving four harness racing participants, Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) provides the following update:

On 9 September, 2016 HRV Stewards suspended the licences (for no longer than 3 months) of the four participants in accordance with the provisions of Rule 183 of the Australian Harness Racing Rules (AHRR) whilst the police investigations continue.  The HRV Stewards also excluded the participants from attending harness racing tracks in accordance with the provisions of AHRR 15 (d).   

The HRV RAD Board today heard the appeals of all four licensed persons and ordered that the restrictions be lifted, enabling the participants to conduct licensed activities and attend race meetings.  In making this decision, the HRV RAD Board Chairman noted the obligations of the Stewards to consider the integrity of the industry and made no criticism of the decision which had been taken to impose the restrictions in the circumstances, indicating he would have been surprised had such not occurred.  However, the RAD Board Chairman noted the RAD Board’s obligation with respect to the presumption of innocence of the parties and determined on the current information before the RAD Board, there was insufficient material to support the continuation of the suspensions and exclusions

HRV Stewards will monitor the ongoing Victoria Police investigation and if any circumstances change in the future, HRV Stewards will reconsider whether any necessary protective measures need to be taken.

With respect to the further investigation by Victoria Police, HRV is unable to make any further comment at this time.
