Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It’s time for the Jesse Townsend appeal. Jesse is a boy not a girl by the way. And unlike Mitch Goring he doesn’t bleach his hair. Townsend sort of looks a bit like Mark Waugh. I wonder if likes the trots too? Lawyer Jacobs is representing Townsend. Ballard LLB is acting for the QRIC. Mitch […]
QRIC lawyer – Anderson is his name – is making a goose of himself here. He wants to keep debating principles that the Panel have already decided in the Chris Watson case and reaffirmed in its decision in Rob Thorburn’s appeal. The bloke even gets the Thorburn penalty decision wrong. Finally Judge O’Brien gets tired […]
This lawyer for the QRIC can’t take a hint, even though Judge O’Brien has given him plenty, and wants to keep arguing why the decision on Jeff Mackay is relevant to Mitch Goring’s matter, even though it so clearly isn’t and the Judge has told him so in no uncertain terms. Blah blah Mackay, blah […]
The QRIC is opposed to Goring’s application for leave for an extension of time to have his appeal heard. They say that offenders can’t be allowed to sit back and wait to see how decisions in other appeals fall before lodging an appeal, they have to lodge their appeals within the prescribed timeframes or otherwise […]
Mitch Goring (pictured in middle) We are here at the Racing Appeals Panel to witness a couple of riders appeals against their disqualifications for submitting doctored Health Assessment Reports (HAR). The Panel has scheduled the appeals of both Jesse Townsend and Mitch Goring for the same time of 9.30am, which obviously won’t happen because you […]
Hi Peter, Regards metric miles. The correct conversion of a mile to metric is in meters = 1609.344m. So in the old language the King Charles III is still a foot short or there abouts of a mile. How about just getting a imperial tape measure if they actually understand that language? Cheers Barossa Bill
Former QLD Racing Minister Grace ‘GeeGee” Grace didn’t know a whole lot about the Sport of Kings, but she did come to the job with a deep understanding of arbitration after spending decades as a union official, and her initiative to create the Racing Appeals Panel will stand forever as one of the greatest decisions […]
It looks like we won’t be able to report live the Noel Callow decision. We seem to have been locked out of the video link, we’re not sure why. Guess we will have to catch up with events after they happen. Sorry about that.
It’s approaching midday and we are here at the Racing Appeals Panel to hear Judge Kerry O’Brien deliver the Panel’s judgement on the appeal of ‘King’ Noel Callow against his ten-month disqualification over the “Darwin Tapes”. The King will be hoping for a reduction in sentence, blue sky a fine, but at the very least […]
The much awaited decision in the Noel Callow appeal will be handed down at noon on Monday. It’s important to note that this appeal relates strictly to Callow’s 10-month disqualification for his conduct in the published recordings made in Darwin last year. Any alleged rule breaches emanating from subsequently released recordings will be dealt with […]
