Damion Flower, a regular fixture at Sydney's racetracks, was arrested at his home in the city on Wednesday. An airport baggage handler was also arrested. He owns or part-owns some 50 horses, including some with well-known figures -- such as Australian rugby league great Phil Gould. Police say the Sydney airport baggage handler used his airside access to collect more than 50 kilograms (110 pounds) of cocaine from the holds of commercial flights. Some Aus$8 million (US$5.5 million) in cash was seized at a property linked to the baggage handler, police said.
