Not much hype or noise about them thusfar Very average fields. No superstars as of previous IDs. They are injured or retired. Can see Tornado Vally in the trot and Cruz Bromac if he draws the front winning both. Fartoomuch 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty ran out of his skin sitting parked as well and Spankem, well another great drive by Nat. Judged the pace to perfection to make her move at the right time and then power away and Pats Delight must have 5 legs the way he sprinted twice in the race. Certainly has set the IDs up for great viewing. And carnt forget Your Spurs cruising win.

Iraklis 2,231 Report post Posted December 3, 2018 Here's story from HRNZ site and hence possibly why he only copped $1000 fine......tiz a fine line I spose, between bein a totally focussed and busy trainer, to act of silliness as he was mindful of the Rule, I feel for the owners..... Butt runners scratched from Inter Doms By Michael Guerin An oversight from top trainer Tim Butt has ended his Inter Dominion pacing assault. And cost him A$1000 in the process. Butt had his two pacers Let It Ride and Italian Delight withdrawn from their heats at Ballarat on Tuesday and therefore the remainder of the series after he took blood off them today for a routine blood test. Harness Racing Victoria rules forbid horses having any form of injection used on them for a clear 24 hours before raceday so stewards had little option but to scratch the pair. The irony is Butt, who until last year trained with great success in Canterbury, actually told the stewards he had broken the rule. “They rang me to ask how the horses were and I told them I had just taken a blood to have it tested to make sure they were fine,” said Butt. “Then the told me I can’t do that and it dawned on me, no injections the day before the races even if it is extracting rather than putting anything into the horses. “It is totally my mistake. I guess in the back of my mind I knew the rule but I honestly didn’t think about it. “So I will have to cop that and apologise to the owners.” Stewards accepted their was nothing sinister in Butt’s actions and fined him A$1000. The pair join local star Shadow Sax in being withdrawn from the series yesterday and leave the Kiwi pacing trio of Cruz Bromac, Spankem and I’m Pats Delight as three of maybe only six serious winning chances left for the A$500,000 final on Saturday week.

lamour 673 Report post Posted December 3, 2018 We all understand you can’t give a horse anything before a race but I’m not sure of the logic behind not being able to take blood from a horse to access it’s health. If anything, this would seem to be counter productive to assuring horses turn up in a fit state. Iraklis 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iraklis 2,231 Report post Posted December 3, 2018 Yeh Lamour, my thoughts were along those lines too, I thought it was standard for if a horse don't run to good, when it was expected otherwise; that the vets are called in to take blood etc to check on stuff....

(3) The Stewards shall order the withdrawal or disqualification of a horse that has been either administered or attempted to have been administered an injection in breach of sub-rule (1). T Butt did not follow the rules as stated above and thus the Stewards had no option but to scratch injected runners. The scenario im thinking is that " if a trainer was seen with a needle in his horse by anyone it would be of immediate concern and notifiable. For all you know they could have injected another substance. prior to being observed" The only issue i have with all of this is whether the bloods were drawn by a Vet or the trainer. If it was a Vet what were they thinking Iraklis 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
