3.The best person to know for upgrades-
Mr Macdonald said he did not ask why the airline had upgraded him when he arrived at the airport. ''I turned up at the airport and they have upgraded me,'' he said. ''When you're travelling internationally and you [get an] upgrade, you take it.
''The oversight is I didn't put it on my pecuniary interest and I didn't declare it.''
A well-connected source told the Herald: ''It was the NSW thoroughbred industry making that request [for the upgrade].''
John Messara, owner of Arrowfield Stud and president of the Thoroughbred Breeders Association, said: ''I have no recollection of it. Anything is possible.''
Asked if he often organised such upgrades, he said: ''All the time. If I can, if they are people I know, and where I have got contact with the airline.''
