Click here to view the list of Weir's former horses and the new homes they have found. As racing familiarises itself with life after Darren Weir, horses formerly prepared by the 48-year-old continue their transition into other stables, scattered across the country. Horses will be cajoled to run faster by means which, depending on your view, are acceptable or cruel.What has been done to get these horses to the starting line?Behind the doors of Darren Weir’s stables, we are offered a glimpse. The video footage goes for no more than 20 seconds. I would go through the form of our horses and all the rivals and give the jockeys written sheets with instructions on the likely pace, where opponents might race, which part of the track was the best area to be in.

Horses will be whipped to the finishing post. I would argue that a lot of his motivation was for his owners and to try and win a race for them.“I know he loves horses. Again and again, Kermond applies the jigger.Hidden within the stable, unbeknown to Weir and his associates, a police camera captures the disturbing scene. He also says that, not that long ago, jiggers were an accepted part of horse training.He does not believe Weir is a horse abuser. Do we ban cars in response, he asked rhetorically.“There has been a lot of people that have taken short-cuts and the integrity department are gradually catching them,’’ he said. This morning’s (Wed 30/1) raids and arrests at the Warrnambool and Ballarat stables of racehorse trainer Darren Weir are yet another dramatic chapter in what has been a career studded with illegal activity by Mr Weir and his Warrnambool foreman, Jarrod McLean, who is also a trainer. Anyone who sees it is unlikely to look at racing the same way again.Chip Le Grand is The Age’s chief reporter. "I just thought it was up to them how they wanted to run their stable and do their planning, so I was happy enough to look elsewhere. It is the start of a month-long indulgence of racing and gambling, booze, food and fashion that will fill our TV screens and newspapers and light a million suburban barbecues.Horses will run in blinkers and run with their tongues tied. "I wasn't as connected in the last few years as I had been from the time I started with him [in 2012] but as I was increasingly looking on from the outside it just seemed the mood in the camp had changed. "Ellis, who has also written as a form expert during the Melbourne spring carnivals, says that however this episode shakes out there is no doubt that Weir is an exceptional horseman, even if at first he wasn't always aware of the nuances of jockey tactics or plotting speed maps as to how races might be run.

"Michael Lynch is The Age's chief soccer reporter and also reports on motor sport and horseracingTrainer Darren Weir holds aloft his 2015 Melbourne Cup. It would cut him to the core to have those charges laid against him.”Today at Caulfield, the spring carnival bursts into full bloom with the running of the Guineas and another three group one races.

The footage, now in the hands of police investigators, prosecutors and Racing Victoria integrity officers, this week culminated in criminal charges of animal cruelty against one of the biggest names in Australian racing.It has also exposed the dark underbelly of the sport.Racing Victoria chief executive Giles Thompson hasn’t seen the footage but he wants people to know the entire racing industry is appalled by what is alleged.“We in the industry understand why people outside the industry are distressed by this and disgusted by this,’’ he tellsThis is clearly the view of six-time Melbourne Cup winner Lloyd Williams, who says: “I have only one word for you: disgraceful.”Racing Hall of Fame trainer David Hayes told racing and sports radio station RSN the charges were confronting but the industry needed to move on.“Cycling has hit some huge hurdles over the years, probably bigger in some ways, and a lot of people watched the Tour de France this year, didn’t they?” he said.He likened the Weir scandal to a speeding driver crashing his car. It is about the extraordinary story we are now seeing in the media,Thompson argues that, for all the damage wrought by the Weir scandal, the events of this week should give people more trust, rather than less, in the integrity of the sport.“This is the culmination of a significant amount of work by both Racing Victoria and police,’’ he says. The trainer would often praise the input that his form analyst had given after horses won races, particularly in the early days of their working relationship.Ellis stresses that he saw no improprieties during his rare visits to the stable in the five-plus years he was working as a tactical advisor for Weir, a time that petered out in 2017 and ended almost a year ago.But he revealed that when Weir was beginning to train huge numbers of winners he had been asked to explain to Victoria's racing integrity commissioner Sal Perna's staff how his horses were being placed and how the tactics worked.
