Admitting you done wrong is hard to do and stepping up and making a sincere apology like he did was top class

Are you giving Colin some arse treatment?

Colin take it easy bro . If you don't need to post don't. Relax .Take chill pill

Hi Bob
In answering your question and to correct a few erroneous posts, I was contacted by Strydom and he has elected to utilise the services of Adv Manny Witz as he is a “family friend.”

The likelihood is that PS will be charged with Rule 62.2.3 which states that: “the rider of a horse shall ride his horse out to the end of a race.” The Guidelines usually followed for this contravention is 3:2:2:1 where your actions cost you 1st,2nd,3rd or 4th place. In other words, PS will probably get a 3 month suspension.

Then the mitigating factors in respect of sentence come into play i.e. the influence the commentator may have had on him, the fact that his view was blocked by 2 other horses on his inside so he never saw the winner, that this was a genuine error, his contriteness and acceptance of guilt and his impeccable record over many years particularly in terms of this Rule.

Precedents in previous matters are also of extreme importance, but on the flipside, you cannot equate dropping your hand a stride or two before the posts and doing so some 50m out and this was one of the worst I’ve seen in many years.

In my opinion taking all the factors into account, the likelihood is that he will get 6 weeks suspended and will therefore get a net suspension of 6 weeks. Having said that, I once acted for Marthinus Mienie who received the customary 3 month suspension and after 2 Appeals as the 1st led to an Inquiry de novo he ended up with a net R25k fine, but then he did have numerous mitigating factors in regard to his ride.

Clearly the "rot" has not deterred you, but if you really believe what you write then why have anything to do with the industry... :S

hi guys

I lost 20k punting yesterday

it was a genuine mistake from my part

I should have known

But anyways can I have my money back since it was a mistake and I don't often do that ??

what fucken nonsense

and again u wonder why the industry is fucked

Shield he does not say at any stage that he should not be punished ..all he has done is to have admitted that he was wrong, if that is not good enough then tough sh1t...

Shield, he will be punished ,there is no way the Nhra won't ban him
