He surely cannot have runners tonight . Guilty or innocent it's way too much of a dark cloud over him at moment.That's a lot of horses to sort out and I doubt he won't be stood down soon. Strange thing is he has decent re homing/ re training person on staff and puts a bit into it I've read and also seen on racing com. It's a puzzling one more puzzling by day.

And the other Vic trainers won't be building a wall to stop them. 500 horses need new trainer by sounds of how it's panning out and big money races coming up owners need move quick .500 x 4k plus a month over there . That's serious money. chevy86 and Rusty 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegasus 9 511 Report post Posted February 1, 2019 3 hours ago, chevy86 said: Surely he's toast--fleeing owners will number more than a central American "caravan". Nature Strip is headlining the exodus of leading horses from both the Darren Weir and Jarrod McLean yards. Chris Waller is set to be the new trainer of the boom sprinter who was set to resume in Saturday's W.J.Adams Stakes at Caulfield. Nature Strip's managing owner Rod Lyons said he was extremely disappointed surrounding the circumstances that have led to his star sprinter's scratching from the W.J. Adams Stakes on Saturday, given the impact it could have on his autumn campaign targeted toward the Group 1 Lightning Stakes. Lyons questioned why Racing Victoria elected to scratch all of Weir's runners, suggesting the decision is harmful to innocent owners. McLean has lost his only group 1 winner Trap For Fools. Caulfield trainer Robert Hickmott confirmed the placement of the Mackinnon Stakes winner Trap For Fools on Friday evening. Weir has also lost Victoria Derby winner Extra Brut as well as the Futurity Stakes and Manikato Stakes winner Brave Smash. The very promising Extra Brut and Night's Watch will remain stablemates with both heading to Ciaron Maher at Caulfield. Brave Smash is off to Kris Lees at Newcastle, the two-year-old Golden Slipper-bound colt Yes Yes Yes has already been transferred to the Rosehill stables of Chris Waller. Lindsay Park will be the new trainer for the Thousand Guineas-winner, Amphitrite, who is currently in the top ten in voting for March's All-Star Mile. Prime Thoroughbreds have confirmed to owners that Banachek, Invincible Amici and Nussink Summary of movements: Chris Waller: Nature Strip, Yes Yes Yes Robert HIckmott: Trap For Fools Kris Lees: Brave Smash Ciaron Maher: Extra Brut, Night's Watch Lindsay Park: Amphitrite, Hawkshot, Chauffeur Patrick Payne: Banachek, Invincible Amici, Nussink Archie Alexander: Gallic Chieftain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

slam dunk 1,317 Report post Posted February 1, 2019 Why are owners being penalized. ? Yet no mention of jockeys or track riders. Surely if a jigger is used then its used by a trackrider or jockey, Scratching or banning the horses before proper investigation or judicial process is against all principles of justice. I hope the owners get together and sue the hell out of the rogue authorities. Midget 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue authorities , what getting in and making the tough decisions not hiding behind its too difficult I just want easy life on the donut. I for one salute the fact they taken on the big issues and not cowering behind a desk.I understand owners being upset and have every sympathy for them but I'd be going at Weir for compo if he's found guilty . Horses wil be moved by midweek and free to run .I cannot see how those guys can be running horses on licenced Racing Vic premises after those charges. Life's not fair at times and they may be found not guilty but it's big for racing , come Spring do you want to fight past demos to get to gates of MV , Caulfield or Flem , because that could well happen.
