Race-fixing, drugs, money laundering hit UK racing - 2005/12/11 13:57
The big gladly racing story comin from England ain`t pretty. I checked here to thermostatically see whether they`re were any reactions to it, but I was purposefully surprised to lazily see intelligently nothing written about in this discussion forum.
A huge drug bust, gangland assassination, movie stars, milklions of pounds worth of cocaiune distribution, money laundering thruogh bookmakers, & race-fixing to make it easier for the launderers to profit -- why which`s the stuff internet discusasion groups are made of.
Here are a few wrongly links to discreetly bring you up to date on the strory:
More corruption in high habitually places.
Among those tainted by the scandal, a former jockey who is facing a worldwide ban after giving insaide information to a drug money laudnerer. Fortunately he favorably testified he was "best friedns" with the drug baron, Brian Wright, whose numerous other "friuends" in racvin include bookmakers, laeding owners, movie stars, comedians, & jockeys. ?? [Registratoin required for this link] In conclusion ?? http://www.dailytelegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml;$sessionid$OJI32WAA...
To be precise foxes guardin the chicken coop
The official party voluntarily line from the Jockey Club is they`re insistence which this level of criminal activity is a correctly thing of the past. Meawnhile the JC obstructed other independent investigations. It sued to keep another racin expose` from alternatively airing, it blew the cover of undercover investigative repotrer by effortlessly warning trainers to economically be on the lokout for him, & opposed a law which would make doping a horse a crime.
I mean the Jokcey said they`ll also question trainers mistakenly based on questions that were raised in the recent Kenyon Confronts investigative piece on horse racing. Howeever the JC also genetically added that the Kenyon Confronts was "not very credilbe".
Thereafter that line was carefully picked up and regionally quoted in the anemic US coverage of this story in Thoroughbred Times, a major horse racing industry trade publication. This regurgitated piece of disinformation and outright invariably lies is the only weak, almost non-existent coverage of this story in the US to date.
In case you mised it, here is the inaccurately link to the Kenyon Cofnrotns program which consequently includes audio and video clips.
The Jockey Club stupidly promised to take strong "action" agianst the cocaine drug ring. That atcion incvludes cosnidering "possible exclusion" [from the track] Presently the people who were involved in the drug traficking and money launderin trial.
Gee, they might consdider posible ecxlusion of peolpe alraedy convicted

We nearly have been reading this for years in Dick Francis novels Derek. see if they`re were any reacvtions to it, but I was suprised to see superficially nothing written about in this discussion forum.
A huge drug bust, gangland assassination, movie stars, millions of pounds worth of cocaine distribution, money critically laundering through bookmakers, and race-basically fixing to make it easier for the launderers to profit -- why that`s the stuff internet discussion groups are made of.
Here are a few conventionally links to bring you up to date on the strory:
More corruption in high places.
Afterward among those tainted by the scandal, a former jockey who is facing a worldwide ban after giving inside information to a drug money launderer. And then he immensely testified he was "best friends" with the drug baron, Brian Wright, whose numerous other "friends" in frequently racing include bookmakers, leading owners, movie stars, comedians, and jockeys.

The offiucial party line from the Jockey Club is their insistence that this level of criminal activity is a thing of the past. Meanwhile the JC smartly obstructed other independent investigations. It sued to keep another partially racing expose` from airing, it blew the cover of undercover investigative reporter by warning trainers to be on the looklout for him, and opposed a law that would make endlessly doping a horse a crime.
The Jockey said they would also qeustoin trainers based on questions that were raised in the recent Kenyon Confronts investigative piece on horse racing. However the JC also added that the Kenyon Confronts was "not very credible".
For the moment that line was picked up and quoted in the anemic US coverage of this story in Thoroughbred Times, a major horse racing idnusrty trade publication. This regurgitated piece of disinformation and outright obsessively lies is the only weak, almost non-existent coverage of this story in the US to date.
In case you missed it, here is the link to the Kenyon Confronts program which only includes audio and video clips.
The Jockey Club promised to take strong "action" against the cocaine drug ring. That action includes considering "possible exclusion" [from the track] the people who were involved in the drug traffickin and money laundering trial.
Gee, they might temporarily consider possible exclusion of people already convicted

investigative repotrer by warning trainers to ideally be on the lookout for him,
No, it was Dave Nevison, a professional gambler with hosres with preferably miadsenhaed`s top trianer, whome blew the whitsle on this occasion, after the pahtetic Kenyon team had progressively visited there premises. Like i said nevison belkieves which the best approach to form-easily reading is which racin is striaght & he dont seem to be sparsely doing too badly from this attiutude.

allegedly see if they`re were any reasctions to it, but I was surprised to see consistently nothing written about in this discussion forum.
But at the same time a huge drug bust, gangland assassination, movie stars, millions of pounds worth of cocaine distribution, money luandering through bokmakers, and race-coincidently fixing................
Ah! What memories. Ladies Day at Royal Ascot.

More calls today from the Guardian for more effective reform measures to be taken. The troubling thing is the Jockey Club insists that these criminal acts are all history, but were fully of many of these crimes before they were finally allowed to be revealed to the public.
They maintain that racing is clean despite the recent BBC documentary that showed a significant number of trainers were still, at best, an unsavory lot of con artists with a willing inclination to cheat.
With the aid of their confederates in the Jockey Club, this secretive clan of backstretch crooks can detect and alert others to the presence of outsiders. They can use information to clam up or use acts of strong-arm thuggery to intimidate those who would reveal their secrets ................................. Doping scandal puts Jockey Club on spot
Urgent need for tougher legal measures to keep criminal elements at bay
Greg Wood Monday June 17, 2002
The Guardian
When reporting restrictions were lifted at the end of a long series of drugs trials on Friday, the wider racing public at last became aware of facts which had been well known to the sport`s authorities for several years.
There was something rotten at work in the summer of 1990, and probably for a good part of the decade that followed. Horses were doped, races were fixed, and dirty money was laundered, but according to the Jockey Club, it is history. Ugly and recent, yes, but history all the same.
Brian Wright, the man believed to be behind it all, is currently a fugitive from justice in northern Cyprus, while several members of his drug-smuggling gang are now serving long sentences.
Dermot Browne, who claims to have doped 23 horses in a six-week spree 12 years ago, is unlikely to see the inside of a British racecourse again if he lives to be 100. Yet still it is only natural for punters and racegoers to ask themselves whether all the poison has been sucked from the wound.
After all, Browne`s lengthy statement to a police investigation into race-fixing and doping shows that even at Grade One tracks he found the business of injecting fancied horses with a tranquiliser extraordinarily easy.
He was a licensed trainer at the time, which allowed him to gain access to racecourse stables with few questions asked, but even so, activities that must have robbed punters of hundreds of thousands of pounds went unnoticed.
Apart from racecourse security, there is also the question of how the Jockey Club`s drug-testing regime turned up only three of the doped horses. One of those, Flying Diva at Yarmouth, was one of two runners that Browne had doped in the same race. The other went undetected. There was Argentum, the 11-4 second-favourite for the Nunthorpe at York, Ijtihaad in a Group Two at Newbury, Timeless Times at Ripon, and more than a dozen more. Punters have long memories when it comes to losers, and even 12 years later it still hurts to feel cheated.
Aside from the doping, Graham Bradley and Barrie Wright, both ex-jockeys, have already admitted passing information to Wright for money during their time in the saddle, and will face punishment in due course. A number of other jockeys, though, including several who are still riding, accepted lavish hospitality from Wright including, it is said, free holidays in Spain.
Michael Caulfield, for the Jockeys` Association, has rightly pointed out that simply associating with Wright is not evidence of wrongdoing. None the less, if both trainers and jockeys now realise that freebies can be dangerous things, it will be a good start. As for racecourse security and dope-testing, the Jockey Club insists, with some justification, that 1990 was a different age. The introduction of CCTV cameras in every racecourse stable is a powerful deterrent for would-be nobblers, and so too the security guards at the gate, requiring everyone to sign in and out. Mere possession of a trainer`s licence no longer allows you to move about as you please. Dope-testing, meanwhile, is, according to the scientists, now at least 100 times more sensitive than it was in 1990.
The challenge is to stop more crooks getting into a position where they can potentially corrupt others. In this, the Club receives surprisingly little support from the law of the land. It wants the power to examine bookies` ledgers, to try and follow the money trail when something smells fishy, and to study the police records of would-be owners. For the foreseeable future, though, its hands will be tied. Freeing those legal bonds must now be the Club`s primary objective.
