JJ Flash 1,323 Report post Posted June 22 Canterbury stable inspections Category: News Date: 22/06/2022 On Monday 20 June and Tuesday 21 June Racing Integrity Board Stewards inspected 59 harness racing stables in the Canterbury region. The RIB General Manager of Stewards Nigel McIntyre was satisfied with the standard overall, acknowledging the positive and welcoming attitude of the licensees. Stable inspections are a routine function of the RIB however this was an opportunity for stewards to concentrate efforts over two days to maximise coverage, identify good practice and opportunities for improvement. It is an approach likely to be repeated. Thejanitor 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cant help you there but in terms of TB's its usually proper record keeping of meds that were given to horse and security of such meds in locked cabinets.

eljay 1,447 Report post Posted June 24 It is standard practice that all stables are inspected regularly. Nothing sinister!! Iraklis, JJ Flash and Thejanitor 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAJESTIC 121 Report post Posted June 24 Obviously did not catch anyone. I'm guessing smoke signals went up when first visit made and all the dodgy drug users etc had ample time to hide away forbidden substances.

TrenthamRaider 5 Report post Posted June 24 Quote The RIB General Manager of Stewards Nigel McIntyre was satisfied with the standard overall, acknowledging the positive and welcoming attitude of the licensees They are hardly likely to tell them to 'F off' as then it would only look like they were hiding something. The concern is would they actually know how to investigate to find anything given the pearler of a job they did with INCA. The three blind mice could have been used for INCA as the end result would be the same 'nothing to see.' No doubt the RIB will apologise to the Industry for conducting a witch-hunt which for years damaged the Integrity of a sport which they are supposed to be protecting. End result they were trying to justify their positions but failed badly. The funniest thing resulting from INCA is that the industry and public were led to believe the police started the investigation, yeah right. The police have come out since and said they never wanted to get involved. JJ Flash and LongOwner 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nelli 258 Report post Posted June 26 If the RIB people doing the routine visits are helping educate when needed and are positively encouraging best practice (records, welfare, security, etc) in stables, rather than acting like "Mr Plod's" then we are far less likely to have people falling foul of the rules though ignorance and stupidity. And that's good for everyone in our industry. Iraklis, JJ Flash and hsvman 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
