    You will have to help me with the Star Of Florida reference stg, I am a newby you know! 100/1 Borovica doing the gig full-time if his demeanour currently on Friday nights is any indication. It reeks of "What the hell I am I doing here?"

    Yes, remember SOF well, beaten a lip in 2 group 1's by Thorn Park in Bris and Snowland in Sydney. Simon Marshall rode him in his early days in Sydney just before weight got the better of him.

    We may have a new contender for the WA Harness top job? Word out of Queensland is that Neil Finnigan, a Brisbane Harness stipe may have also thrown his hat into the ring. Again, not a name that jumps off the page like a Sanders or Bailey but one the dogs are starting to yap(no pun intended for the greyhound lovers out there) as a possible contender. Other good mail suggests there is also one local in for the gig, most likely Rhys Chappell, the current 2IC.

    .The time this is taking  what  are they  chasing someone with the credentials of Casper Willard Weinberger....Starting to seem like a overreaction has occurred in the dismissal  of the previous  head, nothing concrete has come out....

    Neil helped out Peter Morris at Fairfield . I think he also drove the mobile . He was or still is married to Greg Sarina's sister.

    I don't understand why the relevant bodies don't comment on the reasons for the sackings? Surely both the public and the industry deserve to know why and make up their own minds whether it is the right decision rather than all the rumour and innuendo?

    Sanders always had the Turf Track gig and actually has been a director for a number of years. I am led to believe that there were many nervous managers at RWWA thinking that if Sanders was to get a foot in the door he may then look for a permanent gig at a higher level which would have left a few on shaky ground?

    Sanders;was on oath 10-9-2013 ..www. racinginquiry. qld.gov.au....Statement of reid sanders, reminded me of Carmen Lawrence..

    Reid Sanders born educated in Hamilton n.z., moved to Brisbane, cadet steward 1994--till his appointment qlds head steward from 2005--he resigned in 2009.

    Was appointed by  n.z thoroughbred racing as   integrity manager/chairman of stewards from feb.-2009---aug2009.

    From aug.2009--till mar.2011 he was director of racing and chief stipendiary steward for macau jockey club.

    From1 aug2011 till at least 10/9/2013... was as   manager/integrity and chairman of stewards ,when he tendered his resignation in oct.2016 to finish up dec.2016....he was known as the chief operations manager harness n.s.w.......Newkid you say he has been a director of a turf track mob for number of years interesting...  That is martin Collins enterprise or different mob?.

    She is a very good choice

    Has had a number of issues to face in SA -  which has been an embarrassment to Australian Harness Racing - not just the pathetic prizemoney - but 4-5 drivers have been outed  because they have failed drug tests - positive to methamphetamines .

    She recently gave Mark Billinger 3 years ( subject to appeal ) for Rap Artist being over the cobalt threshold

    Personally i think she would be rapt to be out of SA Harness Racing ( who wouldnt be ) probably got a nice pay increase as well coming to the West

    Yes STG, Martin Collins Enterprises.

    Wonder who they will get now for SA and QLD Marko? Sydney will also be up for grabs in June. So many jobs, so few Stewards capable/willing/available to fill those positions. Interesting times ahead in the Harness Stewards ranks!
