The Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) Stewards advise that Hanging On A Dream has been scratched from its engagement in Race 6 at tonight’s Bendigo race meeting, under the provisions of Australian Harness Racing Rule 193(5).
Brocks Best has also been scratched from Race 9 this evening by Order of the Stewards.
The scratching relates to a raceday stable inspection being performed this afternoon and concerns held that Hanging On A Dream had either been stomach tubed, or attempted to be stomach tubed.
Stewards further held concerns that Brocks Best may also have been treated in breach of the rules.
An investigation remains ongoing into this matter and no further comment will be made at this time.
