i believe we have been Zzzzappp!'ed Rodent, although i have no idea why.
nobody accused anybody of anything, so doubt it was warranted.
it was the natural reaction that any thinking person could/would make, and removing the thread won't alter that.

    thinking and saying on a public forum are two contrasting things

    Rodent is welcome to post a link to the article back up

    there was NO ACCUSATION WHATSOEVER, so you are wrong.

    i have much to do, so perhaps you have given me the reason to do it, instead of frequenting a certain forum and watching posts needlessly disappear into the ether. Thanks.
    not much point posting if it last 2 seconds is there?

    I notice my thread vanished but didn't see the post from Carey so can't comment.
    I will say though that I'm stunned (pardon the pun) at the lack of discussion on this extremely controversial topic. I still can't believe the story from thewest.com.au hadn't been documented here.

    The little toerag probably deserved the zap but that is beside the point. The point is an elecrical device on a training premises...thats the crux of the matter.
    I think there will be some very serious penalties dished out.....

    I heard the worker had been caught a few times treating the horses badly.If this is the case he deserves more than a tasering. Apart from the fact that the animal should be respected anyway,it makes me sick some punk can get a job working with some expensive horse flesh and be oblivious to it.

    Its a huge huge story and just the possibilty for massive repercussions outside the obvious court fine and long term racing disqualification.

    Anybody who has some sort of zapper on the site are in trouble maybe Edwards should use it more often as he has struggled for a while now .

    hasnt even been charged by stewards yet

    if (and it would be a big if) they can prove he used it on horses - then yes 10-15 years

    owning an illegal gun doesnt mean you get the same sentence as a murderer

    I think there's one in the rules about bringing the "electrical item" onto a track/stable. Would be similar to drenching tubes in the back of the float?

    yes there probably is - but it doesnt carry an automatic 10-15 year sentence

    Im not saying he shouldnt receive a penalty

    they dont have to prove he used it on horses, he has already admitted it having on the premises.

    its ilegal to have devises as such on premises or on personal, let alone to use on staff in a lot of trouble.

    "Edwards said he would target the Melbourne spring carnival later this year with Guest Wing."

    Stewards inquired into a report received from the Security Guard placed on GUEST WING, a runner in Race 8, the BMW-Perth Cup run over 2400m and trained by Mr S. Edwards. On Inquiry it was established that a stable employee of Trainer Mr S. Edwards had orally administered the non-prohibited substances Gastrozol (anti-ulcer treatment) and Lubrysin (joint lubricant) to GUEST WING at 8am today at the stables. Trainer Mr S. Edwards pleaded guilty to a charge under ARR.178E for causing the administration of these non-prohibited substances to GUEST WING on the morning of the race and was subsequently fined $1,000.

    Theoretically, one working day before the penalty.
    I'll bet it is a 4 figure fine...nothing more.
    What do you guys reckon?
