It would be helpful to the whole industry if the arrested were named ASAP so as not to tarnish the reputations of the many innocent parties out there in Harness racing Black Kirrama and THE TORCH 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newmarket RC 209 Report post Posted September 4, 2018 Surprised that no one has come up with a potential conspiracy theory. Greyhound Trainer gets large fine last week,Mesarra gallops report comes out and now this raid turns up race fixing allegations in Harness races Surely its just coincidental given how long the investigation has been going on lad27 and Black Kirrama 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
