Raymond Law v Queensland Racing Integrity Commission OCR309-19 Compulsory Conference 08/11/2019 1:30 PM Mediation Room 3, 259 Queen St, Brisbane

Ray put on a tantrum and was charged with improper conduct which according to the stewards report involved threatening behaviour after losing a protest at AP a few months ago........for his trouble stewards gave him 2 years and internal review confirmed the decision.....he was obviously upset at the decision and acted in the heat of the moment not a good tactic as it turned out.

While he was DQ'd for two years for breaching AHR 240 (c) stewards indicated they will consider reducing the two year disqualification to 18 months if he can provide documented proof that he has reformed his behaviour.

Tomorrow he gets his chance to produce the evidence.

Return to form from The Candy Man yesty after taking on the better class in NSW not quite up to the level down there but back to his best and head and shoulders above the opposition in R8.......stewards report on the race:-
Race 8: Staymooloolaba.com.cau Mooloolaba Cup – 1600m

SABKHAT – Reared as the start was effected and lost significant ground. Whilst racing wide commenced to overrace approaching the 1200m and was then permitted to stride forward to the lead leaving the 800m.

OUTRAGED – Stood flatfooted as the start was effected and lost ground.

THE CANDY MAN – Slow to begin. Whilst overracing passing the 1400m was placed in restricted room and had to be steadied. Then continued to overrace when the pace slackened until approaching the 1000m. Laid in under pressure in the home straight.

CAPITAL GAIN – Whilst overracing passing the 1400m was placed in restricted room and had to be steadied.

SPECTROSCOPE – Bumped by another runner near the 1400m and as a result laid in for a short distance despite the efforts of its rider. Restrained from the heels of SABKHAT near the 600m and was then shifted wider on the track. S. Thornton, rider of SABKHAT, was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances.

COOL CHAP – Overraced when the pace slackened after passing the 1000m.

RECKLESS CHOICE – Raced wide.

Summary of action concerning thoroughbred horses
Horses swabbed pre-race
Natch, All Eez, Jeweliana, Tycoon Ace, Advance Warning, Bold Assassin, Sister Patti

Horses swabbed post-race
All winners, Le Palmier, Lone Squirrels, Meet Mr Taylor, Reckless Choice, Better Reflection.

No mention of the out of character run by VICTORY EIGHT well in the market and expected to go well but it was never in the hunt finished tailed off 14L from the winner Jim Byrne didn't punish the horse as it was well beaten something obviously wrong big surprise the stewards didn't think it necessary to seek a reason for its below par run no vet check or swab........................ the stewards aren't doing the job expected of them when they fail the basics and overlook instances like this...no point emailing them you'll be ignored based on previous attempts to obtain information.

Cobalt rule reaffirmed

The Queensland Racing Integrity Commission (QRIC) has today moved to re-state its position about the status of unresolved cobalt Steward’s Inquiries after Racing Australia’s (RA) Veterinary and Analysts Committee (VAC) review into the matters raised in relation to cobalt.

RA has reaffirmed its position and does not propose to amend the Australian Rules of Racing.

Racing Integrity Commissioner Ross Barnett said that in light of the RA decision all Queensland cobalt Inquiries currently in process would continue to be dealt with in accordance with the rules.

The VAC advice included that;

▪ there remains a view among international racing authorities that cobalt has the potential to positively affect performance and is a welfare risk at toxic levels;

▪ a typical daily diet of a racehorse meets a horse’s cobalt requirement and there have been no reported cases of cobalt deficiency in horses; and

▪ there is no nutritional, medical or welfare justification for the administration of cobalt salts by injection at any time.

Commissioner Barnett said the National racing bodies set the rules of racing, it is the role of the Commission to enforce them and all participants have the right of appeal.

Ben Currie going to QCAT again today.

Benjamin Mark Currie v Queensland Racing Integrity CommissionOCR190-19Tribunal Hearing04/12/20199:30 AM Hearing Room 6, 259 Queen St, Brisbane

Nathan Exelby gives the drum on what this hearing is about.
DISQUALIFIED trainer Ben Currie is listed to appear in the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal today, where he will seek to overturn two convictions for bringing racing into disrepute.
He originally faced more than 40 charges, half of which have been resolved with many the subject of appeals.
Twenty-one of those charges are in abeyance while Currie answers criminal charges before the Toowoomba Magistrate’s Court.
Currie is on bail for those charges which are unrelated to today’s QCAT hearing.
On racing charges, Currie is serving a disqualification of six years and three months and faces a $10,000 fine after a lengthy series of stewards inquiries, internal reviews and QCAT appearances.
The latest QCAT appeal involves Currie being found guilty of engaging in an improper action following an investigation into text messages relating to the intention to use an electronic apparatus, known as a jigger, capable of affecting the performances of two horses.
The hearing is listed for up to two days.

Possibly Obi was /will beon hand to report the outcome if any.

Test results disappointing: integrity boss
Wednesday 04 December, 2019
Mark Oberhardt

Queensland's integrity chief Ross Barnett says he is disappointed by the number of positive results from random drug and alcohol testing at tracks throughout the state.

Barnett says while it is encouraging that 95 per cent of participants have been doing the right thing, some continue to break the rules.

The Queensland Racing Integrity Commission Integrity Investigations Team has carried out 559 human urine samples and 127 breath tests from thoroughbred and harness racing participants.

Barnett says the no-notice testing operation is an important part of the work of the Commission and of the 155 jockeys, 41 apprentice jockeys and 292 track work riders registered in Queensland, most had been tested at least once during the period.

Confirmed positive results to prohibited substances were found in 14 thoroughbred participants, including to THC, oxazepam, temazepam, cocaine, acetazolamide, ketamine, norketamine, dehydronorketamine, amphetamine, methamphetamine, zopiclone, morphine and codeine, and four participants returned alcohol readings in excess of the permitted .02 threshold.

The latest positive screen was taken at Marburg track work on Tuesday when a harness trainer/driver was stood down after returning an alcohol reading above .02 and screening positive for benzodiazepines.

He was the only harness racing participant to screen positive since July 1.

Other positive screens awaiting confirmatory analysis include ones for THC, methamphetamine and amphetamine, opiates and benzodiazepines.

In the period since July 1, there have been seven instances of participants who failed to provide samples.

Two participants have since faced the stewards, resulting in one disqualification and one suspension.

There has also been six occasions involving three participants who substituted their samples and all three have been disqualified. One case is being finalised by the stewards.

ENDS

Barnett's disappointment would be minor compared to the feeling those who have been caught on QRIC's testing would be experiencing...pleased to see harness racing's relative clean bill of health.

There is nothing good about racing in Queensland

I will not bet on races in Queensland -- bar 'minor-interest' bets in May, and on the Stradbroke.

Advising the QLD government, it should be shut down -- take the take-out from local bets on races interstate, but do not continue to waste funds from the public purse on racing now of no consequence.

Race 2 at EF Yesty Stewards questioned the ride on ARCHER'S PARADOX Apprentice J Murphy while briefly mentioning the winner ROCK BEAT which failed dismally at its last start finishing last ...it was unextended being eased down after suffering early interference which ruined any chance...also suffered some injury ...you would think under the circumstances it was worth mentioning yesty after this was a clear reversal of form especially as there were extenuating circumstances last time although the horse mixes its form from one run to another as commented by the race caller yesty...coincidentally ARCHER;S PARADOX was in the same race as ROCK BEAT on 30 Nov.

"ARCHER’S PARADOX – Stewards questioned apprentice J. Murphy regarding his riding of the mare. Apprentice Murphy stated that from the outside barrier he rode aggressively to clear runners to his inside, after which he restrained ARCHER’S PARADOX and it maintained a solid tempo and led by a considerable distance in the middle stages before weakening soon after straightening. He added that he thought it would have been detrimental to check the horse in the middle stages as this would have had an effect on the horse racing ungenerously. His explanation was noted. Trainer D. Murphy confirmed the instructions and said that he instructed apprentice Murphy to ride aggressively early from the outside barrier to cross the main body of the field.

ROCK BEAT – Inclined to lay in under pressure over the final 200m.

Some of what the stewards said yesty at the Coast

TRAMONTO – Bumped on jumping. Hung badly from the 800m placing its rider at a disadvantage and was uncompetitive for the remainder. Trainer K. Fogden was advised that the colt must compete in an official barrier trial prior to racing again.
Race 7 – THE TAB WAVE – 1800m

Stewards considered an objection lodged by D. Lane the rider of FUN FACT which finished third against TREVELYAN (R. Stewart) being declared second placegetter on the grounds of alleged interference in the straight. Stewards were of the opinion that near the 200m FUN FACT laid inwards at the same time as TREVELYAN was attempting to come to the outside of BOBBY DEE. As a result FUN FACT and TREVELYAN bumped and after both horses became unbalanced they made contact again shortly after. Taking into account that FUN FACT had contributed to the interference Stewards dismissed the objection and declared correct weight.

Race 8 – MAGIC MILLIONS RISING STARS 3YO & 4YO Colts, Geldings & Entires Class 4 Plate – 1300m

Stewards considered an objection lodged by J. Orman the rider of MAGIC FOX which finished fourth against MORRISSY (M. Zahra) being declared the third placegetter on the grounds of alleged interference in the straight. Stewards were of the opinion that MORRISSY was carried outwards over the concluding stages marginally by SCOUT resulting in MORRISSY making contact with MAGIC FOX, with both runners becoming momentarily unbalanced. As the interference suffered by MAGIC FOX was caused indirectly by SCOUT shifting out the objection was dismissed and correct weight was declared.
MAGIC FOX – Got its head up whilst being steadied near the 900m when racing in restricted room to the inside of SNOWZONE, which rolled inwards. Momentarily held up near the 400m. Bumped over the concluding stages by MORRISSY, which had been carried outwards slightly by SCOUT.

Visitors went home empty handed yesty apart from a couple of minor placings and appearance money Toby & Trent Edmonds stablemates fought out the finish of the Aquis Gold Pearl and returned Wisdom of Water to the form it showed before its last start flop after brilliant trial form winning the Aquis Gold Nugget ... Tony Gollan welcomed a new baby Boyd with wife Jane and collected the cash with Man To Match in The Wave.... from memory I think Tony named it as his best for the day .

Once Tramonto learns to behave he'll win for sure .....first start in a race after distant second in a SC trial .....yesty showed brilliant early speed before taking charge of Glen Boss and was not competitive thereafter.

I think Jimmy Orman was stiff losing out in the Magic Fox protest stewards blamed Scout for shifting out on Morrissy but the victim was Magic Fox and it was Morrissy which did the damage.

QRIC Commissioner Ross Barnett was interviewed by Davie Fowler today on the top rating radio show Press Room with no trick questions to dodge Barnett showed he was on top of all the issues and answered confidently ......subjects included Cobalt .....the treatment for fillies and mares which is allowed in NSW but prohibited elsewhere..where there's inconsistency between a local rule and the AR rules.....AR rules prevail.....Davie thought an apology to harness racing was in order after the adverse publicity harness racing received over alleged race fixing charges most of which have fallen over but Barnett demurred without naming names he said some are still to be finalised ...the re-homing of retired racehorses QRIC's authority is finished once the horse leaves the industry..... what else was there? no mention of the alleged snail venom charges or any comment on the progress of the review of the totally inadequate appeals system on which submissions closed in August.

" Top Rating " love to see the rating figures. Fancy calling this show "Press Room ". "Propaganda room" would be more appropriate. Old time journalists would roll over in their graves listening to this self publicity of the racing Industry. The participants should be embarrassed to even consider themselves journalists. Can't wait for the regular from Sydney to give Racing NSW a spray about anything at all . Fancy I don't have that much time on my side !!. As for the ex - Queensland copper with QRIC he would be flat out knowing which end the chaff goes in. Some of the goons still on active service there must be close to getting messages from the Queen. Even the inimitable "Archie Butterfly " could see the nonsense in a so called "Stewards Report " at Kilcoy on Saturday.

Addendum...Davie also politely inquired about the progress of Danny Nikolic's application for a jockey's license the reply was words to the effect that there are conditions which attach to such applications and the matter is or will be determined by the Licensing Dept possibly within the next couple of weeks.

Would prefer to post the link to the Press Room site but last I looked it was not to be found...an unfortunate oversight for the fans who for whatever reason did not tune in to the live broadcast.
