In June 2015, the Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) Integrity Department initiated an investigation into matters relating to the conduct of a race at Cobram on 22 June, 2015, particularly with respect to the training arrangements and associated betting activity surrounding the relevant race.
The extensive investigation conducted by the HRV Integrity Department resulted in the HRV Integrity Department referring the matter to the Victoria Police Sporting Integrity Intelligence Unit in November, 2015, for further investigation.
With respect to the further progression of the investigation by Victoria Police on 28 August, 2016, HRV are unable to make any further comment at this time. HRV will make further comment as soon as able.
