Surely we need to actually watch the interview and judge whether he was speaking tongue in cheek or not. |

Its basically taken 10 days for his comment to become an issue. Just how is this comment prejudicial to the image of a sport that is already tarnished. The stewards have bought the sport into disrepute by bringing it up..........by bringing it to everybody's attention. |

The comment was an issue at the time. I'm sure there were mentions of it on social media or other avenues. Maybe because it was on a sunday arvo it may not have been seen by many. However had it been made on a significant racing program or on a Saturday arvo there would be a massive brouhaha.
Comments can easily be misconstrued, whether this is such an occurrence needs to be investigated & seen. |

Just to clarify I've been charged regarding my comments only, stewards said y'day they have no prob with the way the race was run. |

Henry Plumptre from Darley had to front the stewards I believe 3 or 4 years ago for something similar that was said in a TVN interview. Don't think anything came of it.

Defence team has nothing to do with it. We all know its all to do with your name. He is small, therefore he is in trouble. |

Stewards tried to get him with race fixing to start with. Couldn't. Now a lesser charge. Nothing wrong with that. At least they are doing something for once. |

100% on the money, makes racing disgusting in my opinion, equality is in the bin once you put your signature on any licensing or ownership paper... we need a coup!

You Won't Believe This Story!
Oct 26, 2017 You won't believe this story! On Friday night at The Valley I'll take a new horse to the races and I doubt you would have heard a backstory like his. To understand how this former star South African 2yo came to be in my stable, I have to first introduce you to Canberra cabinet makers Alex and Daniel - better known as iCandy Kitchens. The boys love racing, and when they're not building kitchens they are dreaming of winning big races. A few years ago the boys decided to buy a little hobby farm and after looking at their empty paddocks for a few weeks they decided they might as well buy a mare or two and turn their weekender into a little broodmare farm. They did the maths on stallion service fees and what they would cost each year and decided it made more sense to buy their own stallion - how hard could it be to breed your own horses? They were about to find out. They searched the bloodstock sales websites and found a broken down 6yo stallion called King's Bay owned by China Horse Club up for sale in Adelaide. He had South African form but had been retired with a major tendon injury suffered in Singapore. China Horse Club wanted $10,000, Alex and Daniel offered $1000 and the horse was theirs. They quickly borrowed a float, hooked it up to the ute and drove from Canberra to Adelaide in weather that in hindsight was probably ominous "It was sleet and and snow, absolutely the worst weather I've driven in. All the kids wanted to do was stop and build a bloody snowman - maybe I should have listened," Daniel told me. Eventually they made it back to the farm. The boys took King's Bay from the float, cracked open a stubby, and decided there was no time like the present to start their breeding empire. They opened the paddock gate, let King's Bay loose and watched the frisky young bull charge towards their mare. But things didn't go according to plan - apparently free-range breeding isn't the way to go. "She saw him coming, lined him up and kicked the gelati out of him," Daniel said. "She absolutely floored him, we thought he was dead." The lads reckon they just stood there shouting at each other in panicked shock - neither is a horseman (as you might have worked out by now!) and neither had any idea what to do next. Eventually King's Bay staggered to his feet with a haematoma the size of a basketball on his chest but looking worse for wear. "I thought gelati, we've killed this poor bastard his chest is going to explode - we called the vet who eventually gave him the all clear but he couldn't believe what we had tried to do, he must have wondered what the hell he'd struck." The shock of what they had seen brought an end to their home-bred dreams and they immediately had King's Bay gelded to avoid any other romantic mishaps - which is where I come in. A couple of months later the boys were sitting on the deck having a beer, watching King's Bay rip around the paddock - he looked pretty quick, maybe he still had what it took to race? I took a phone call from them that day - they said they had a broken down 6yo gelding from South Africa that they wanted to put back into work. He hadn't raced since 2013. I nearly drove off the road. To say that the horse was out of racing fitness is an understatement, it took my wife Miranda the best part of 6-weeks to get him into good enough condition to put into work. But since then the horse has thrived, he's ticked all the boxes for me ahead of his debut for my stable - I'll always have one eye on his tendon but so far so good. So there it is. From South African star to an injured cast off and a failed stallion that survived a brush with death. King's Bay has certainly lived an interesting life, let's hope he still has some life left on the race track. Definitely the craziest come back story I've ever heard - I hope he can run! |

Swan Hill today:
Considering Following a report received from the Compliance Assurance Team who had undertaken an inspection of a licensed property that was stabling the Shea Eden runners, Stewards interviewed trainer Shea Eden and licensed stablehand Jamie Dentith. On the evidence Stewards could not be satisfied that the mare had not received raceday treatment and therefore Stewards ordered the late withdrawal of Considering at 3.44pm. A number of samples were obtained from the mare leading up to the scheduled race time and also post race time. An inquiry into the matter was adjourned to a time and date to be fixed. |

The samples never show anything - the raceday gear is used raceday because it doesn’t swab. But I would like to know if they saw them drenching, needling etc. On another note - why are there so many inquiries not going anywhere? Laing, Cameron, Laming, McPherson, etc. Why is there such a delay? |

Yes. Yes they do. As a part owner of 6 horses in 3 different yards, it gives me heart every time they catch one of the blatant doping cheats. Everyone in racing knows who the grubs are, or the ones who hang with grubs. So yes, it's great that the Vic stewards seem to be doing appropriate target investigations. Long may it continue.

I meant in a way where they ignore blatant cheating and it comes to bite them years later. I don’t want this rubbish swept under the carpet again. |

Any one who is/was part of that pigsty should be suspended if they look at a drenching tube the wrong way. |

Maybe this little cheat needs his own thread. The cheats obviously cannot train as they have to rely on illegally doping. He must have thought he would get away with it at Swan Hill.
