Well without any connections I have no idea what happened...at least this may bring some things to a head. Let's hope that the correct repercussions are followed...

Absolutely fucking disgraceful, think of others when you carry our selfish acts

Think of the work, time and money now wasted


True, should have just declared the drill hall null and void only

Rules need to be enforced, Rules need to be reviewed, Administrators need to be consistent, Administrators need to communicate.

Why is CEO of NHRA so close to the action?
Why is communication so vague on this issue? Not everything is Sub Judice!!

The sooner Botz takes over the better.

Do they not have a Risk management dept in place to look at what to do in case of protests?

Last years July was a freak show after the last 4 races were abandoned due to no lights ffs!!!

There's 2 sides to this. Punters should not be made to continously bear the brunt of this type of incident. The horse should have been available for testing hours before the race and not scratched minutes before, after nearly all bets have been struck. Had it been for any other reason beyond their control, it would have been understandable. This was entirely under Gold Circles control.

This does not however justify this type of savage behavior, there needs to be ample security available on big race days. Another failing on the part of Gold Circle?

No there are not two sides , the horse tested positive . Everyone knows about the new testing, they must accept it and racing carry on.

The Peters must feel hugely embarrassed that their supporters would deny fellow trainers, jockeys, grooms and owners an opportunity to continue racing, thus depriving them of income and entertainment and at an expense to them for their behaviour.

But can you allow a rule to be broken before you apply the law if you know/suspect the intention...?

I side with you that it is not clear cut...the rules are to protect all the roleplayers, including the horse and the punters?

Based on the previous debacle with the Peters it looks like some power trip official determined to expose some corrupt Peters behaviour more from grudge than in interest of the industry.
If all concerned knew the horse was tested, the results communicated to the connections well before the public announcement then this BS could have been nipped in the bud.

Thanks...my feelings too. It feels like entrapment with complete disregard to the punting public.
