Harness Racing NSW has today suspended the licence of trainer, Mr Dick Inskip, pursuant to Rule 183.

HRNSW has taken these measures after receiving a report from the Australian Government National Measurement Institute that cobalt above the threshold was detected in a post race urine sample taken from MISS ARTISTIC TARA following its win in race 1, the State of Origin Young Drivers Championship- First Round Heat 1 (1609 metres) conducted at Menangle on 26 August 2014.

The “B” sample and associated control sample have been sent to the ChemCentre in Western Australia for confirmatory testing.

 

Harness Racing NSW (HRNSW) is the controlling body for harness racing in New South Wales with responsibility for commercial and regulatory management of the industry including 31 racing clubs across the State.  HRNSW is headed by an industry-appointed Board of Directors and is independent of Government.
