About the only good point of this sorry tale is that the culprit no longer works in racing.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Well done Fred Rimell for speaking up for the horse.

A couple of early nominees here for villain and hero of the year. Well done Fred Rimell.
The length of ban of eight months (effectively reduced to six) for Howchin doesn’t seem long enough to me.
