The NZ Racing Integrity Board adjudicator’s decision to fine trainer Cran Dalgety just $5750 for what was his eighth positive swab offence is quite frankly baffling, and so is the rationale for it.

Questions are being asked by everybody about the driving tactics of reinswomen Maddison Brown on Relatively Arma in the Westbred 4&5YO Mares race at Gloucester Park on Friday night. Everybody except of course the Koala loving Stewards. The issue relates to Brown’s refusal to hand up the lead on the $10.00 shot Relatively Arma early […]
Another drive that raised questions was that of Grant Dixon aboard the favorite Fire and Passion in the $50 000 2yo Breeders Final at Albion Park.
