Weir has decided not to contest charges relating to the possession of jiggers and on Tuesday there were reports he will cop a four-year ban.<\/p>\n
\u201cRacing Victoria has somehow got it into their thick heads that banning this bloke for four years is some kind of show of force,\u201d Penbo said on Tuesday\u2019s FIVEAA breakfast.<\/p>\n
\u201cI reckon if you asked at the average family barbecue this weekend what would you do to a man who has made millions of dollars yet by his own admission has used the equivalent of police tasers on horses, can you imagine anything more terrifying for these poor bloody animals\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cIf a horse is pushing itself to the absolute limit because it knows it\u2019s going to get a taser up the date because of people like Darren weir and the freaks he works with — if Racing Victoria thinks four years is an adequate penalty they have got rocks in their head.<\/p>\n
\u201cI reckon the average person, even passionate horse racing nuts, would say we know enough about this bloke to say there is no place in horse racing for him ever again for the rest of his life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
