WHAT A DISGRACE - FLAMINGO PARK TOP TRAINER JAAP VISSER

I have sent a formal letter to RA now so they will have to respond. As soon as they do I will get Hibs to post it here..I have also forwarded video to Derrek Watts a good friend of mine and his team will have a look at it on Wednesday morning..its a pity though that they have got rid of the evidence so quickly.

It is with sadness in my heart that i read this whole thread the long and the short of the situation with this horse is that he shouldnt have been with 12 other horses in that paddock since monday morning when i saw he was badly limping as far as the 'diagnosis' of a kick to the shoulder causing that type of injury i say bullshit the fetlockjoint was severly swollen and in the event of a shoulderinjury the swelling would have started there and then spreaded to the lowerlimbs

the ra rep in kmb drives past that horse every day and didnt have the guts to do anything

I phoned him on tuesday morn bout this horse

can the person that is trying to join the site with a dodgy jaap visser email address please contact me @ madgeb28@hotmail.com or bob@africanbettingclan.com so i can clear you to post

That is as barbaric as the stable responsible for the horse:( if nothing was done and horse was in that pain...

James blond you are right in saying one thing 9only one). The man does deserve a fair trial of which he should be found guilty or not guilty by the NHA. The problem is that the reason the people on here are so mad (me included, I have not even had the guts to look at the video as I will lose my shit) is because the NHA never does anything. They never take appropriate action and therefore secure the trust of the racing public.....this is our main concern, not that justice be done correctly. We need to know that the racing police will do just that, police racing not be the lapdogs of the operators.
Same happened to Sportingpost when they did not want to sing from the hymnbook. They got told no more selling for them............

Oscar you are a true man amongst men. I salute you sir and everyone else who has already stood up and said no more!!!

I do hope the truth comes out and I do hope the guilty get punished and then punished some more!!!!

F%*#(k this horrible game...................

Is it likely to achieve anything reporting the NHA to the NHA?
Is it not time their competence came under the scrutiny of an independent body?

I had a busy weekend,even worked Sunday morning and have not been on ABC
I decided to take the day off from racing
This morning I did not get up,still tired went back to rest some more, and got up @ 12:30...to this!

Really! its sickening!I I wish I had stayed in bed

I'm all for boycotting racing countrywide for a week or three...
Maybe that will wake them up

A boycott would hit the good people in the game,the ones that pay their staff and bills

Welcome back, Ruby Clipper..................... your comments are valued on the forum.(tu)

We should hit them where it hurts...money...we should organize a sit -in, as they had a few years ago at Gosforth park. Racing would be abandoned for the day. That should make them sit up and listen.
