  • Let me make it clear, I am not naming names here because the practice and culture of the way the inquiries are held have been going on for years in australia regardless of who the stewards are. Accused people have taken expensive skilled lawyers wit…
  • Ive been around, takes a bit of research to make sure things are true but more to come......Time for change.
  • The acceptance by all trainers and owners that there is a culture of the big guy little guy syndrome or if you face fits youll be ok is something that should ring bells of alarm in the industry. An industry that does so much to provide entertainmen…
  • Re the mobile phone taser device ...Very interesting stuation the trainer uses the device on one of his staff and gets taken to court and found guilty and fined. Then pleads guilty at the stewards enquiry whilst accompanied by a lawyer and awaits th…
