Caitlin Gotze was a much loved member of the racing community on the Downs. Six weeks before Xmas Caitlin died at work. She was just 23 years old. The autopsy conducted said that Caitlin died of undetermined causes. Her mum Raelene Kennedy doesn’t believe it. She wants a full coronial inquest into her beloved daughter’s […]
We have been contacted by a number of readers sharing their thoughts with us about the Cam Jones case in New Zealand in which he charged for pre-race administration of an unknown substance. We thought we’d share a couple of the more thought provoking views ————————————– G’day Archie The RIB report into Cam Jones being […]
The decision in the RIB case of Cam Jones and the needle has been handed down, and the bum has been disqualified for 21 months. Without giving too much away, that is the least of his troubles right now. Good bye for the moment and good riddance. The Canary – Andrew Fitzgerald – has been […]
