Maybe some rules about trainers attending meetings might help :confused:
There is a rule that states that if the trainer is not going to attend, than all they have to do is give a letter to a license person who they put in charge of their horses.
As far as trainers attending meetings that would not be possible if you had runners in two states. Inter, MM etc.
Nobody is going to expect a trainer to be in 2 places at the one time but maybe at one of them. If they are unable to, maybe they should be required to inform the stewards of the reason. Maybe if the reason is not acceptable to the stewards then the trainer could be fined
Just trying to think of ways to get around the massive loophole that exists whereby suspended trainers can just transfer their horses to a partner (who may have been the trainer or co-trainer all along)
I understand what you are saying Kev , but there is always a way around it.
I had to laugh this morning when I read a trainer has transferred his horses to another trainer even though he has not been suspended , but its a pretty clear indercation on what might happen.
NO

Stewart free to race after appeal to VRT quashes disqualification
PP correctly points out this morning - how would you feel about this decision if you were a steward
The leading stable for the last decade, caught treating horses on race day And only receive a fine
Not great if I was the steward.
PP is correct, was it race day? Or the day before? I did read the day before in Adams report.
