He has shifted back to ChCh Debs......his Mum lives down there and he is working for Scotty Wallace they tell me.

Hope one day he returns to training and driving as he is a big loss to the game.

FF....A good man Mango....and everyone makes mistakes in life.

Please get your facts right using peoples names here he does not work for the person you say...please apologise to the said person.

[Friend Family]

If my information was incorrect then please accept my apologies Scotty.

All the best ....

FF.

I knew Brent years ago and can't believe what he did . No doubt we will hear more

I can !   Whatever alleged behaviour beyond the Chilcott incident there is.

[Friend Family]

Hope he's OK Mango......everyone makes a 'blue' in life and he is no exception.

I agree with you Charlie ......he is a good man that took a wrong path...... and now probably deeply regrets it.

I just hope he makes it back to the harness game as that is where he excels.

It wasn't "alleged" behaviour.

Not knowing the circumstance Blue I was just being careful. All I know is the nasty little prick drove for me once at Alexandra Park in the mid 90's, and unfortunately the horse  travelled a bit roughly, copped a flogging and the driver tossed the reigns at me, declaring "it's a flea, it won't get me again".

Disgraceful behaviour but needless to say I engaged Tony, Maurice or Todd in the future.

Well, if I was a stipendary steward I'd probably call it 'interference.'

Still call that  a "blue" that everyone makes FF?  Not in my world.

Chevy .....you seem to have a 'snitcher' on Mango because he called your horse a 'flea' and didn't wan't to drive it again......when in all honesty he was probably doing you a favour but could have used a more polite choice of phrase . 

Many drivers get back to the drivers room and say..... 'What a flea that thing is' .....but Mango had the courage to tell you to your face so hats off for honesty.

I however agree that what he did was regrettable and has landed him in extremely hot water .....but let him do his time away from the game and make ammends on his return.

I don't think you understand this has nothing to do with Nicky , this is a very serious allegation which will come out eventually

This is something no one can post on here 

[Friend Family]

Debs ....he made a mistake which has turned his life upside down ......so best to leave it there and hope like hell that he can resurrect his life in time.

An old bloke told me once you can tell a man his girl is getting potted all over town but tell him his horse is no good and he wants to fight you.

[Friend Family]

Too true Lee .....oh so true.....insult a mans wife but never his horse hahaha!!

It actually won three in short time and I sold it to WA for good money!

That's one good thing about the new whipping rules . Looking back at some of the races on You Tube horses were given a hiding . Some of the Aussie drivers were worst 

[Aaron The Anchor]

For the record all the "stuff" going on behind the scenes has nothing to do with him driving/racing. 

It's on more of a personal level.

Obviously innocent until proven guilty but it's not good.

Yes Mango was found guilty ....and is allegedly to be sentenced in the next week or two.

He has handed his licence in and his life will take a different path in the future.

It's such a shame when people do something completely out of character and have to pay the price..... especially a good bloke like Mango.

As a horseman, he had few peers and he will be sorely missed out of the training and driving ranks.

FF.

How can you be defending him?? 

It was a disgusting path to take.. !

[Friend Family]

Aaron ....everyone should be given a second chance I believe.

Have you ever made a mistake in life? ....and if so were you forgiven?

'Let he who has never sinned cast the first stone' ......Mango will pay his due's and hopefully resurrect his life afterwards.

All mistakes are not created equal, IMO at least. Some "mistakes" are more easily given a second chance than others. 

[Debs]

Seems like he got a second chance after all as he's working with horses again at the Telfers...

[Charlie E]

Anyone know what the sentence was ?
