Yep , Fenton was found to have illegal animal remedies in 2012, he will face a fine of no more than 5 thousand euros or a possible 6 month jail term. I'm sure the fine will be the outcome at court then the turf club will surely hold there own inspections and take further action as deemed appropriate. Such a shame, I hope no animals were running with banned substances.
It is Ron, truly brilliant. It has never been critically aclaimed as far as I know, but I'm guessing that's because it's a Western, with a Brit lead.
To be fair it was apparently back in January 2012 so you'd have to suspect there has been a very close eye kept on him.
As I said on today's thread Bob - I'm afeared for my Last Instalment voucher - although it helps explain his resurgance!
The 'remedies' were found in 2012 Bob by the Department of Agri, i seriously doubt if any of his recent wins were influenced by illegal activities. I doubt once caught he was dumb enough to maintain using whatever exactly it was. We just may wait and see what the outcome is Thursday onwards!
Problem with some of these banned substances is that maybe they shouldn't be banned; it depends what they are used for. Years back we used to use a substance called Regu-mate on one of our show jumping ponies. When she came into season she used to spurt all over the place. At one point they announced it as a banned substance. We told a friend of ours who was president of some high up organisation (name escapes me) and she had a right go and the ban didn't go ahead. Had she not prevented the ban there would have been times when our mare would have been unable to compete. I see, after all these years, it is still not banned, judging by the advertisements.
This business with the Irish trainer Fenton. I've just read that the stuff was found during an inspection made in January 2012. Whatever have the authorities been doing in the intervening 2 years? Seems very odd.

Does anyone expect to see the Triumph winner running in the Adonis Hurdle on Saturday at Kempton? Shocked to see that Mr Henderson won't be having a runner, but Mr Nicholls looks to have a likely one in Alcala for the Wylies. No prices up yet .....
Morning all --got to say well done yesterday (again) by the best tipsters anywhere- got to say Uncle your blog is going great guns --massive profit so far! SmokeyB- wow -25/1 and 20/1 consecutive winners --superb ! With Chris Grant being in such good form , i will take a chance on Micro Mission giving the weight away in the 2 50 -7lb claimer helps, course form, ground fine--dropped in grade which provides a fine chance of success.
Cheers rudebwoy I know I post my fair share of donkeys but the name of the game is gambling so its nice to show people that just because you back 5losers on a trot your not a bad gambler . I cant wait for the flat lol not that my averages are bad on the jumping though! your right with smokey aswell he certainly has found the back door key to the bookies
uncle -by trying to find winners every day its inevitable that you will have losing runs--difficult task as we all know-and especially with handicaps-so much to consider-and then some-keep up the great work !!
