Tasmania The Trots

Where is Steve Shinn?

Ogilvie, who took over the racing portfolio from Jane Howlett only this week, spoke about racing integrity in general before being pressed to answer the specific questions.

Shinn has been absent from the past four harness meetings in Tasmania and speculation has been rife within the industry about his future.

On Monday of last week, I put four questions related to Shinn’s position to the media office for the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, of which the Office Of Racing Integrity is a part.

There has been no reply.

Tasmania’s chief thoroughbred steward Ross Neal has chaired three of the past four harness meetings and was also on the panel at the other meeting.

On February 20, he worked at a run-of-the-mill Hobart harness meeting rather than one of the biggest thoroughbred meetings of the year (Oaks Day) at Mowbray.

This led to further industry speculation that all is not well in harness racing.
