I am aware that this is your site and you, in my opinion worry far too much about what is written on your forum.. People may threaten legal action, it is another thing to proceed with the action and another matter again to actually be successful in that action...

You have edited part of my post.. I did not bag any idividual at all... I bagged racing Victoria and their Stewards, which as the public face of Racing in the state of Victoria are fair game.. I said the stewards cried foul.. that is what they did.. fact.. why the hell would you edit the word foul.. ( i did not mention any steward in particular) that has been proven by the performance of the Horse in question today.. I also said that they shamefully (that is my opinion to which I am entitled) asserted that the people laying the horse was somehow wrong... sinister if you like.. their argument has always been about the integrity of racing, when we all know that is an obvious lie... that is pedalled by the establishment of racing around this country.

I feel it is quite inapproprate on your part, to provide a forum that discusses racing topics, then edit posts that discuss what is possibly the hottest topic in racing today... posts that do not defame anyone.. because you fear that racing Vic and its band of pork pie hat wearers make take action... nonsense.

I play by the rules on your forum as you well know
I beleive my post falls within those rules, and would not raise an eyebrow, if published in any other media

Racing Victoria and it's Stewards are subject to criticism, it is part and parcel of the game.. If you don't feel that is appropraite for your website, to post cristicism of these bodies, that is your perogative and I have no control over that but I feel you are,letting your subscribers down badly


I will post a similar editorial on my website, in full knowledge that I will not be called to answer, because what I am writing is considered opinion, that does not defame anyone
