SLIPPERGOLDEN

Interesting that they both headed to Perth

Muldoon

Must have been a thorough investigation, nearly two years later.

"A bit" he's facing more charges than your average bank transaction

Flanders

Surely gets years

SLIPPERGOLDEN

In more trouble than a pregnant Nun

bookielover

I knew his dad very well when he was riding at his top for Hayes.

I'll just say that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and leave it at that.

Interesting that in the official stewards report (No doubt compiled after the meeting had finished) that the rider on Desennea is P Harvey, amateur hour at its best. I understand it's probably a minor typo but really who is checking this nonsense before admitting it to the public

Manchild

Im still friendly with his dad.

Flanders

Anyone know when the next step in this process takes place?

Manchild

Waiting on a date for the hearing.

bookielover

So the hearings have started and the jockeys and punter appear to be allegedly rooted. The punter actually kept screen shots of texts between himself and Poy. Get on Racenet and read the article.

The only thing I'll say about Poy is that if proven guilty and he gets rubbed out for a long time, I won't be blaming him. As my old man used to say, with about 5 % of exceptions, in 95 % of cases, we are all products of the environment in which we are brought up. Pay is a prime example of that 95%.

And 95% of jockeys bet, under 5% get caught.

MrDigby

He will most probably change his name again.

You mean Poy? What was his name previously?

bookielover

Poy is his mother's maiden name.

SLIPPERGOLDEN

It may have been stated previously he is related to jockey Michael Clarke. Son I think.

thefalcon

I don't think that was intended but it's quite apt

I enjoy reading about these setups. Interesting the only bet the lost was when they back a horse to actually win. Says a lot!

Yep it means 11 out of 10 things need to go right to win a race =))

SLIPPERGOLDEN

We all know it is easier to lose a race than win one.
