Greg mcfarlane where is my horse
The trainer's other Rosehill runner, Catesby, was also a recent purchase from the Godolphin stockpile. McFarlane admitted it was difficult to improve horses who had come through one of Australia's best training systems but said they were ready made city-class gallopers who measured up to his strict criteria. Catesby hasn't raced since he posted a first-up win at Warwick Farm last month, defeating Sexy Eyes who has franked the form with two successive Saturday grade victories.
The four-year-old's rivals include Provincial Championship runner-up Newsfan, who proved she had returned in great order with a first-up win at Rosehill earlier this month. Trainer Mick Bell has paid up for well-travelled sprinter Jungle Edge in the November Handicap but will be hoping for a track downgrade with the veteran's 14 career wins all coming on rain-affected ground.
He also refused to hand over a pair of jeans that possessed a "zip-lock bag of white powder" that contained bicarbonate. The Australian Racing Forensic Laboratory confirmed liquid found in a bucket on the day also contained bicarbonate. During yesterday's hearing it emerged McFarlane said to Gardner: "Listen, is there anything you can do? They're going to put me out, I'm gone you know.
Can you take it easy on me. Is there anything you can do? I might have said, 'I'm gone now anyway'. Don't miss out on the headlines from Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. The horse was immediately scratched and McFarlane hauled before stewards. Obviously it's against the rules of racing. If you're not doing something that's correct McFarlane initially lied and told Gardner the horse being tubed was Ferocimo's stablemate, Belegic.
When asked why he had lied about the identity of the horse, McFarlane told Murrihy "dunno, it was a knee-jerk reaction".
