July Day horse abuse caught on National TV.

So nobody knows who this oke is?
This is just another example of why the outsider will never trust horse racing.
Plain to see a person abusing a horse yet nobody is prepared to put the perpetrator's name up on a forum.
Probably in any other sport this person would have been named and shamed straight away.

Communication between the racing authorities and the general punters is rubbish.

incidents like this just seem to get washed under the rug and they hope it disappears with no one being held accountable.

today we have a daft ambulance driver setting off his siren just as the race jumps. Will an investigation be lodged into this event, outside of the race being declared null and void. Did a bookie benefit ? dwill teh driver have his ass kicked at the very least.

tell the betting PUBLIC we want to know.

in this day and age with all this info, when u go silent we assume u have something to hide at worst or are just completely incompetent at best

has anyone been brought to book for this?

Has trainer asked for action to be taken ?

Has owner asked for action to be taken?

Has the person been named publicly, so as to ensure he is not used by people whoa ctually acre for their horses

......there was some cock and bull explanation in the inquiry that may baffle a few brains.....but this seems to indicate that the ambulance was not stationary at the jump which is more baffling....but because I did not see along with many many others..... we have to take it with Vaseline.....:blink:

PRESS RELEASE

INQUIRY – LICENCED FARRIER MR SHAUN LESLIE

The National Horseracing Authority confirms that at an Inquiry held on 25 August 2020 and which was finalised on 28 August 2020, Mr Shaun Leslie, a licenced Farrier under the Rules of Racing, was charged with a contravention of Rule 72.1.26.

The specifics of the charge being that Mr Leslie was observed striking BIG HELLO’S with a lead rope, whilst this horse was proving to be stubborn during the pre-race parade, prior to Race 5 at Hollywoodbets Greyville Racecourse on 25 July 2020. This, in the opinion of The NHA, was conduct which discredited horseracing.

Mr Leslie pleaded not guilty to the charge, however, he was found guilty of the charge.

In arriving at a suitable penalty, the Inquiry Board took the view that The NHA, as the regulator of Horseracing in Southern Africa, is tasked with upholding the good name and reputation of the sport of horseracing and has the responsibility to appropriately censure conduct such as that displayed by Mr Leslie.

Mr Leslie’s licence as an Official under the Rules of The NHA was cancelled for a period of 90 days, after which he may apply for its reinstatement.

Mr Leslie has the Right of Appeal against the finding and the penalty imposed.

good news

Thats him
