The HRV Racing Appeals and Disciplinary (RAD) Board today released its decision with respect to charges issued by HRV Stewards against licensed trainer Mr Craig Demmler.
Mr Demmler pleaded guilty to having presented the horse Christian Torado to race at Cranbourne on 19 October 2014 whilst not free of the prohibited substance cobalt. Taking into account Mr Demmler having already served a period of two months suspension in relation to this matter, the HRV RAD Board imposed a further 12 month disqualification to commence midnight 27 March 2016. Mr Demmler was also fined $250 after pleading guilty to a charge relating to his failure to maintain a log book.
