HRV Stewards have issued a charge against licensed trainer Mr Kerry O’Riley under Australian Harness Racing Rule (AHRR) 190 (1) which provides:
A horse shall be presented for a race free of prohibited substances
It is alleged that the horse Royal Delight was presented to trial at Melton on 10 May 2016 by Mr O’Riley when not free of arsenic, a prohibited substance when evidenced by a concentration above the allowable threshold.
Note: Australian Harness Racing Rules definition of ‘Race’- means a race or official trial or official time trial or event in which harness horses race or participate.
The charge will be heard by the HRV Racing Appeals and Disciplinary (RAD) Board on a date to be fixed.
