Oh, really! NSW chief steward Ray Murrihy is off-beam if he thinks Stathi Katsidis is going to 'name names' in the big ecstasy uproar. Does Murrihy really expect Stathi to dob in other riders? It's too silly for words. Stathi, who will ride favorite Military Rose in today's $3.5 million Golden Slipper, said in yesterday's Sydney Morning Herald he took ecstasy in 2008, and claimed ''about half of ... footy players and jockeys'' indulge in the so-called party drug. Murrihy called Katsidis early yesterday, asking him to pass on any information he knew about drug use within racing.
