Australian racehorse trainers Peter Moody and Will Hulbert were both fined over separate foul-mouthed rants about underperforming jockeys that were leaked from private group chats.
The voicemail to the owners of Criminal Defence, obtained by racing website Racenet, allegedly contained the following: F -ing brain dead c - that will never f -ing sit on one of our horses ever again, the message allegedly said. I m f -ing ropeable, I could f -ing kill that c -. The voicemail found its way onto social media and was subsequently investigated by the commission. The commission, which released its stewards report late April, charged Mr Hulbert with misconduct. It deemed Mr Hulbert s voicemail was inappropriate and offensive and the commission handed him a $1000 fine. On the evidence, it was established that Mr Hulbert was disappointed in Mr Mallyon s ride on Criminal Defence in this particular race, the commission s report read.
Claire Power MIDWEEK racing at Ipswich featured a strong line-up of jockeys including Michael Rodd who rode a winning double from only three rides for the day. First up this afternoon, Rodd was aboard Le Rubis who showed promise after finishing strongly in the 800m two-year-old maiden when returning to the track after a break. The Rubick filly started as the short-priced favourite. She resumed nicely to win first-up after spelling following her first start after pulling up shin sore.
