What about when some of these so-called "egg-sperts" recommend "horses to follow?"
I know that some of them have been following the horses for years.....usually with a bucket and spade.......!!!
Some of their strike-rate is abysmal!

Cheers.

I'm sure the usual media sycophants will applaude the decision to allow C. Munce to resume riding in Sydney.
To snub the directives of HK officials has the potential to damage international racing relations forever.
I hope the officials who made this decision are confident in their actions.
Most of the betting public whose opinions I sought think otherwise!

Cheers.

Thumbs up

You have to be joking. Munce would have had a suspension and fine here not jail. Good to see him soon back in the saddle . Sycophants my foot and stuff the Hong Kong Jockey Club, they don't rule the world. Like him or not, he's done his time and not making the rules here so get over it.

crash,
with a "handle" like that you may "walking on very thin ice" as we do not know what the consequences may be "down the track."
It is similar to extradition treaties all over the world...if any nation "breaks ranks" then it may advertise that it is OK to break laws overseas(in particular nations) and seek sanctuary in Oz-where will that lead us...into a potential "cess-pool" of toleration.
I know the "silent majority" support my and CP's stance.
Haveagoodun.

Flaming is not a good idea but as you can never help yourself: Don't worry about my handle, your's [mythical paradise] says far more old son. And as for 'silent majority'? That would be you I suppose?

Question

Yeah, right,
Look, it is "all done and dusted"...the decision has been made but I am wondering what "damage" has been done to our international reputation.
I believe that emotion has been utilized brilliantly by some individuals to secure their desired outcome...but, at what future cost?
I'll leave everyone to contemplate that.

Cheers.

The point is: In the scheme of things, who cares?

Maybe along with plenty of other jocks and trainers too [who have not yet been caught being naughty].

That is precisely why I have been campaigning for an ICAC officer to be appointed to work with and also independently from the Steward Panel(ie. he/she reports directly to the Minister For Racing).
Make no mistake..this is no longer a "sport"... this is a $multi-million turnover enterprise and should be administered as such.
Any proven wrong-doers should incur the full penalties of criminal law.

Cheers.
