Lol, yes. Who was the trainer (s) caught with syringes at the track?


1. The Dazzler in Cyprus
2. Betfair Eddie with the shotgun
3. The Bests with the shotgun
4. Georgie Baker and the flapper from ireland
5. Stoutey and the cash in the suitcase
6. Nicky and his vet (was all the vet's fault, guv)

franny norton had one. i cant remember what it was but thinking at the the time it was a classic.

whoever was caught in the shower with hrac's missus could make the list

Zoey when she mistakenly tipped the 3rd favourite

Tommo when he opens his trap anytime

Highflyer Execs:

"So just to confirm, none of us thought it was a good idea to renew Tommo's contract"

trainer after getting caught with a syringe at the track:

Guest said: "Like many other trainers do, in the saddling box I give my runners water with a mixture of lemon, honey and glycerine.

"It's similar to what opera singers use prior to a performance because it helps to clear their throat. There's nothing sinister whatsoever because it's no more than a mouthwash and is not a prohibited substance.

"I find it particularly useful for horses who have had throat operations."

He added: "Unfortunately, due to an error by a member of my staff, the syringe was taken into the stabling area, which isn't permitted.

"He is embarrassed by his mistake, and has apologised. We put our hands up because the syringe shouldn't have been there. I feel sorry for the owner, who rushed to the races to see his horse."

Richard Fahey when he won the Ayr Gold Cup 4 years ago with Fonthill Road

Told the press and millions of viewers on Ch4 in the winners enclosure that the stones improvement in form was due to his back man sorting out horse's problems.

When the bing bong rang and he was called into the stewards room just 5 mins later, gave the same reason that he had used in 37 other calls to the stewards room in previous 4 years - "sorry guv, can't explain it....."

Old RP headline:

Dascombe fined after syringe confusion


"confusion" is the new one big misunderstanding, guv

Vicky Vague and the Ooh Aah Camara doping scandal.

HoJo and the hundred grand he'd forgotten to put in his Post Office savings accoubnt.

other sports but Rio Ferdinand not turning up for random drug test, mobile switched off while out shopping with gf my @rse

Paul Flynn, around six yrs ago when he sat still on that horse and could be seen looking down at its legs - he then reported to the stewards that the horse choked.

1. The Dazzler in Cyprus
2. Betfair Eddie with the shotgun
3. The Bests with the shotgun
4. Georgie Baker and the flapper from ireland
5. Stoutey and the cash in the suitcase
6. Nicky and his vet (was all the vet's fault, guv)
7. The numerous trainers caught with syringes at the track (my employee didnt know the rules guv)
8. Matt Gingell and the horse that freed itself from its box one night and drunk a "milkshake"

dont remember that vicky vague one princess, although do remember her getting mysteriously beaten up or something

McKay moved the horse from her to Guest before the Queen Mary - the day before the race when she was being transfered Haigh gave her an injection of a banned drug so she couldn't run the following day. She ran in Guest's name and he informed the Stewards that he thought she might have been doped - she failed a dope test and it was passed on to the authorities.

i remember now cheers, straight in the top 10

barry Geraghty when he misjudged the number of times he went round fakenham and rode the finish a circuit early a shokin omission

Not to forget Dean Mernagh riding a finish a circuit too early twice within a shortish space of time

Johnny Egan and the shotgun in the boot. What is with jockeys and shotguns, imo.

willie supple riding the finish a lap early after only 3 furlongs
