An owner was fined $2000 by Racing NSW stewards for giving an apprentice a gob-full after the horse he part-owned finished unplaced at Wyong on February 5.

The owner, Mr Craig Miller, aggressively approached, verbally abused and swore at jockey Samantha Clenton after she finished fifth on Heresdecasino ($4.60) in a 2200m metre Benchmark 60 event. 

The verbal tirade began before Clenton had dismounted and continued afterwards.

The owner pleaded guilty to a charge of conduct prejudicial to the image and interests of racing. 

Stewards stayed half of the fine for a period of two years, on condition that the owner not again in that period offend under the conduct rules of racing.

    so if you cant give them a spray cos they are so fragile and need to be protected.... are comments in social media the only way you can vent???

    A private controlled conversation will always prove more efficient for both education and reputation, as opposed to a public emotional display.

    When Jakey Casey returned to the enclosure after winning on War Profile I told him he was a "****ing beauty". A steward tapped me on the shoulder and said "if you swear again it will cost you $1000". I informed him that we had just won the race, to which he coolly replied "you can afford it then". Steward 1 / Bull 0.

    If a bad ride costs you money, spray away!!!! My boss would kick my ass if I stuffed something up that cost the company money! Too prim and proper these days, old school tactics are the best. Tell these kids some fair dinkum hard truths, never hurt anyone.

    Said steward is a dead set *****it. So he was going to fine you 1/10th of what Waller got fined for cheating to win a Group 1 ....

    Glad he didn't have a microphone on his left shoulder, as I know who would've got more than a $1,000 fine!!!
