With respect to the actions taken by Victoria Police at the Melton harness racing meeting on 28 August 2016 involving harness racing participants, and the submissions now received from the relevant parties regarding whether the HRV Stewards take any action against the licences of the relevant participants under the Australian Harness Racing Rules (AHRR), HRV Stewards advise that they will now give due consideration to such matters.
Any decision of the HRV Stewards in this regard is not expected to be made and announced prior to Thursday 8 September 2016.
