Shaun McGruddy returns from suspension from midnight tonight. I think one of the most underrated jocks in WA.

Daniel Staeck successfully appealed against a six-week suspension. Now that doesn't happen too often.

Trainer S.J. Wolfe (that very sad SAVAGE CABBAGE affair) has been disqualified for a period of twelve months.

Coming up, 8th May, grand opening date of the Belmont Park Racecourse Winter Racing Season.

Actually Paddy, trainer Steve Wolfe had a two-year disqualification cut to 12 months yesterday when stewards completed rehearing an inquiry into the barrier trial fall of Savage Cabbage.

Wolfe had received the two-year disqualification in December 2002.

Reports are that Wolfe is not happy with result and will likely take the case to the Supreme Court and apply to retain a stay of proceedings to continue training in the meantime.

I note that Steve Wolfe has just had an interim stay of proceedings granted by the Racing Penalties Appeal Tribunal, which allows him to keep on training.

Wolfe had been previously training on a stay of proceedings for nearly 12 months.
