Nathan Carroll disqualified for 42 months in total

Part of Barton Cockburn's lawyer's plea for clemency was based around:

He said a lifetime of long-term ban from the sport was very likely for his client, who was remorseful and did not deserve jail.

His lawyer managed to get him a mere $5k fine with no conviction using this defence

It is now up to the Stewards to make the lifetime ban a reality

LIFE

That's called .."not mucking around". Good old Australian way of dealing out a decent penalty. Couldnt imagine that he would be able to start up afresh in another state..!!!!!!

This case aside , we strongly believe that anyone who is found guilty of cheating , be it race fixing , drug doping etc should get LIFE . Black & white . I am sure the industry
would be in a lot better position under those conditions . Why people put up with cheats in this industry is beyond me . We have sold up every one of our horses , stopped mid
preparation solely because of cheats .


Thank God we got out .!!!!

we (my brother and niece and myself, hanging around like a bad smell) will have a horse ready to race in the next 6 or so weeks (hopefully)and when he has completed his career that will be it for us...proven brood mares in the paddocks will not be joined,money in the kitty to purchase a yearling will not be spent, and no more feed,vets and farrier bills to payed any more.we have had a gut full of big names in the industry being punished with feather dusters for there misgivings while the small timers get the book thrown at them.a prime example the 3 yo at last terang meeting,driver m. thomas fined $200 for whip use and driver alford just as bad had not a word said to him....looks like a nice fishing boat is going to become a reality.
