Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Tasmanian Racing Appeals Board has today denied Ben and Tim Yole and Nathan and Mitch Ford a stay of proceedings on the interim warning offs issued to the quartet in the wake of the release of the Murrihy Report. This means that none of the four will be able to train and drive unless […]
As you can see above, unless there are two of them by the same name, the former Victorian steward Barry Delaney now works as a starter for Harness Racing Victoria. Good luck to him you might say, except that there is a problem. Barry Delaney has been appointed as one of the three interstate members […]
A lot of Tasmanian harness racing watchers are asking how the Steward Gavin Griffin could possibly have sat on the panel that handed trainer Michael Laugher an effective $2000 fine for a substance rule breach – a positive swab – that would usually have seen the offender put out for months. These people’s concern is […]
Victorian barrister Damian Sheales (pictured above) is – along with Jim Murdoch KC, Tim Game SC, and Wayne Pasterfield CT (Campbelltown) – generally regarded as one of the best racing lawyers in the land, a true Group 1 standard performer, and with very good reason given his outstanding record of results. As good as he […]
Dear Peter Profit The report into Ben Yole is a fantastic step forward for our local industry. My concern is the members of the independent stewards panel who have been appointed to investigate Yole further. They are Mr John Hackett and Mr Larry Wilson from QLD, and Mr Barry Delaney from Victoria. The concern I […]
There was yet another one horse race and walkover at Hobart last night as a result of the mass withdrawal of Ben Yole stable runners, making it the third this weekend. This led to an unusual spectacle as the winner of the walkover – the only horse in it, Agouda Ruler – paced along in […]
Archie Here is exactly how Ben Yole can feed the horses. The figures above are he and the horse’s owner’s winnings for just the two months that the Tasmanian government sat on the Murrihy Report. I have lost all respect for Ric McIntosh. Integrity IS the winner Belle from Burnie
Archie Just a personal opinion, but out of all the drivers in on this Ben Yole fix do we really think it’s fair to consider punishing Corey Bell, when he is the only person capable of putting a stop to the Yole nightmare having witnessed both concentration camps Yole’s in Tasmania and Yole/Walters in Victoria, […]
In a clear sign that Harness Racing NSW has moved on Ben Yole, all of his stable runners at Leeton today were withdrawn from their scheduled races, leaving the first race a one horse walkover after Yole’s nine horses were scratched. The race was run with the one non-Yole horse as the only horse in […]
In what has becoming a fast moving feast following the release of the Murrihy report, all Ben Yole horses have been scratched from tonight’s Launceston meeting, presumably (but not certainly) by the Stewards. The move follows notices issued by Tasracing earlier this morning banning Ben Yole, Mark Yole, Nathan Ford and every other participant named […]
