45yearsofharness 173 Report post Posted May 31, 2017 19th May Addington WAIKIKI BEACH - Stewards questioned driver N Rasmussen regarding the manner she drove near the 150 metres when shifting her gelding outwards after becoming awkwardly positioned close to the front legs of PICCADILLY PRINCESS which was attempting a marginal run between CLASSIE BRIGADE and her runner. After considering the explanation of Ms Rasmussen, Stewards adjourned the matter to give it further consideration. Theses inquiries are normally completed the following meeting, but nothing mentioned in stipes report 26th May Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately any penalty will be to late after the jewels. Drives that could have been missed, % of driving fees that could have been missed.

Kotare_Hunter 748 Report post Posted May 31, 2017 Well if the inquiry is wrapped up after the Jewels then she will have already driven in the Jewels for this year. If the result of the inquiry brings about a charge then the Jewels will be over for this year. Maybe someone else can explain this better for you.

Swede 67 Report post Posted May 31, 2017 Well, I fail to see why the interests of a driver (who has brought harness racing into disrepute by failing to drive a horse on his merits) should be protected above the interests of the industry as a whole.

To be fair, it takes quite awhile for decisions like this to be made. They seem to take weeks and weeks. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just the way it is.

Swede 67 Report post Posted May 31, 2017 I was just deferring to Guerin who reckons Natalie moved out of the way to let Mark through. That's good enough for me. The difference is: he sees nothing wrong with it, I do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toblerone 242 Report post Posted May 31, 2017 Rasmussen went on a holiday to Thailand immediately after the meeting. That being said, I don't understand why it couldn't have been tended to on the same night. According to Dave McCarthy, she has been cleared of any wrongdoing today.

final luca 189 Report post Posted May 31, 2017 looking after the mates yet again syndrome. we see some stables get the treatment quite often. were the officials just LOOKAWAY, the call could had gone either way? I have my doubts.. however, I like most will watch for a future performance from another driver and see what the officals dish out to them.. I don't think others would get off without dirty sheets.
