.....HKGK....:ohmy:

So we have trainers racing horses illegally in the bush.

I wonder how many of those that race horses illegally have been under a cloud lately for doping offences? I wonder if any of the horses bust racing on the weekend are regular participants and who have in and out form? I wonder if any of these horses have ever had lameness issues? I wonder if all owners of these bush racers were aware that their horses were being utilised illegally?

I wonder whether the big mouths on here are involved? This will be very interesting.

Well done NHA!

Very good questions there OTA. My info so far is that a trainer can race there as the racing itself is 100% legal but not with horses that are registered to race under NHRA rules. The horse's cannot do both. NHRA can only suspend them for 90 days. Am saddling for a trainer at Greyville tomorrow so will find out more from the stipes. I have been given some names of trainers who do participate in bush racing with horses that are racing under NHRA rules at the same time. As you say it opens a whole can of worms as you can then throw the form book away as you don't know who has had an extra race or 2 between its last run.

I remember an owner on here said his horse won a bush race in between two runs I think one Kimberley and one Vaal

Can’t remember the horse but nothing was done .

I actually think the bush race was in Namibia

Castle Rock.

That`s it thanks

Think we should wait for horses names and reasons, had for trainers names sent to me.. One of them very surprising

It will be interesting to read if the owners agreed to these extra events or if the trainer was trying to make a quick buck only for himself....

.....we have all heard or even used the word .....in a phrase like this....the jock bushed the horse....or rode it in the bushes....now strong competition from trainers....really. are now bushing horses in the bush.....:dry:

If the NHA have an employee of the year award it will be difficult to look past David Rahilly. What a job he is doing, well done David.

It is very quiet from our Kimberley kerels, the names are out boys what say you - IT WASNT ME???

I don`t think any of the Kimb trainers would be involved.. Seemingly its a 900km round trip

We will find out on Friday
