Terrible times for racing

A cattle prodder ffs.

Close this cesspool down if nothing more than for the sake of the horses.

Cattle prod is normally to force cattle / pigs etc move in certain direction.
Or can be used to help make carcasses be more tender as meat stimulation.
As far as use on a horse. It can be used to inject a pulse into a horses hip during a training run, in connection with a word command. The horse would increase speed during a race where the command word replaces the actual prod.
The size of prod/pulse machine is also an important factor.

Not suggesting this was the case and an explanation from the stable would clarify what its used for?

I wonder why the presenters today made the comment to send "difficult" horses to Mrs Miller in Kimberley.Just curious.

i am not gonna comment on the doping side but the cattle prod is not great. Previously a Vaal trainer was also caught about 8 years ago. did they apply the same sanction. irrespective of the sanction i would expect the owners in her yard to seriously question whether they want their horses trained by someone who in in my opinion torturing the horses in her care. i would move my horses ASAP to anyone other than the person torturing my horses.

I love the sand racing and was devastated when the Vaal sand track was unceremoniously shut down without a whimper from owners, trainers and breeders. Just could never get into the sub-standard, inconsistent racing down in Kimberley and don't follow it but seeing the NHA don't want to investigate this alleged cruelty to animals, maybe the SPCA should be notified.

Spies races their regularly but not based in Kimberley

Which Spies are you referring to ?
The trainer or the groom or the trainer's father or the grooms father ?

And the stable's main owner must be a real swell guy and an animal lover to allow this to carry on under his nose and in his colours ....

Big fine virtually paid off today
