Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) Stewards have issued two charges against licensed trainer Robert Arundell including a charge under Australian Harness Racing Rule (AHRR) 190(1) which states:

A horse shall be presented for a race free of prohibited substances

The Australian Harness Racing Rules provides the following definition:

“Race” means a race or official trial or official time trial or event in which harness racing horses race or participate.

It is alleged that Mr Arundell presented ‘Sammy Fitz’ to race at the Terang trials on 18 June 2017 when not free of arsenic, a prohibited substance when evidenced at a concentration above the allowable threshold.

HRV Stewards have also issued a charge under AHRR 190B, alleging that Mr Arundell failed to keep and maintain a log book.

The charges will be heard by the HRV Racing Appeals and Disciplinary (RAD) Board on a date to be fixed.
