[Optimistic Dog]

Old catchphrase
Back Weir drink beer.

New catchphrase
Darren do the crime do the time

 

[frantelle]

Jail time hugely possible if found guilty of breaking the new rules under the Crimes Act

For us simpletons...what are these new rules?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Darren weir confirmed shifty campaigner in other news water is wet

 

[Bostonian]

And people still bet on horse racing

“Obtaining financial advantage by deception” is the one kept being talked about, ie fixing races

Funny thing is, I was told just prior to Echuca Cup last year (about 12 mths ago) that he was next in the gun. After a couple of months I brushed it off.

Been building for a long time and the PM's have been flying around twitter for about 10-12 weeks now.


Not surprised.

Is he done? Ben Currie is still training in Qld and he has been done 4 times in the last few months along with other charges for his dad and employees, Kavanagh and O'Brien are still training I have no faith in the racing industry anymore.

Post one leads into post two I reckon.

VCAT are absolute campaigners at letting people off on appeal after the racing industry has banned them.

This time they have the Feds involved with criminal charges so Weir would need to be Houdini to escape from here.

Confused troll, that’s pretty embarrassing.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Oh deary, Weiry!

 

[bigpapagman]

Cocaine, 4 jiggers and a gun.

Hur hur hur hur hur

 

[Me Myself and I]

McCartin released. Hearing cocaine was found as well.

 

[iluvparis]

Didn't one of Wallers turn up with cocaine in it one day?

 

[bigpapagman]

Didn't one of Wallers turn up with cocaine in it one day?

Crystal Meth

Or more famously Ben Currie's "Party 'till Dawn" lol

 

[king rising]

4 tasers seized is what is the most damning part of this investigation.. TBellicious has good contacts .....

 

[Kipz]

"..but why would you waste good coke on a horse"

"The more i feed them, the more they feed me"

Pretty sure Bowman got suspended for using the nose candy in the early 2000s

 

[Chism]

Nobody charged yet but investigation still going and heaps of water to flow under this bridge.

I am sure it was just a rogue stable hand though according to Darren and he had no idea about anything as usual........

I'd never stick up for people trying to **** over the average punter.

So no.

I mean Greyhounds is cleaner than horse racing in 2019. But that's no big story.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Of the top trainers who are the most honest?

Hayes the one that stands out for me

Most are pretty honest actually.
Most wont jeopardise their whole career for such risks.
There’s also dishonest and dishonest.
Cheating, doping, jigging is one dreadful category and say running a secret trial from the public is another.

Chris Waller comes across as very straight forward.
He’d be the biggest name to hurt racing if he was dodgy I think.

 

[Chism]

Surely the finding of illegal electric shock " Jiggers " was enough for them to suspend or stand down the stable especially in the short term and the stable cannot deny having them etc and it is pretty hard to argue a case for having them except for the obvious.

Unless the bloody rogue stable hand brought them in!

 

[Better Loosen Up]

You'd be lying if you didn't think there was something even the slightest bit dodgy about Weir.

 

[iluvparis]

Lol how is running a secret trial in the same category as any of those other things? Didn't realise all trackwork was televised these days
