Agree 100% horses are forced out of a race or have to run under sufferance becoz of a horse that was never going to partake in the race is a disgrace and a remedy needs to be found to stop it

Maybe I am missing the point. Why accept 3 horses to keep a race and scratch all 3? You are just benefiting other trainers and owners. :S

100% - seems a bit insane

The scratching of all 3 runners should surely indicate that the injuries reported are genuine??

Go well, I like the Visser stable as somehow it has become the next best stable to follow after the late PAC Miller.(tu)

Well its nice of them to send all their updates so early in the morning

Dear Bob



It is not illegal for horses to participate in bush meetings however a horses that participate in an unauthorised meetings in terms of the rules may be suspended depending on the circumstances. Please see below rule.



93.2 GROUNDS AND CIRCUMSTANCES

A HORSE may, in addition to any other circumstances prescribed in the RULES, be

suspended if:-

93.2.1 it has participated in any way at any unauthorised race meeting



I trust that now clarifies the situation.

Still no fines for entering horses that are not in yards or not having passports?

just saying...

Mind bogling !!!!
