Harness Racing NSW yesterday suspended the licence of trainer, Mr Jake Stockton, 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 COLIN JOHN following its win in race 7, the Reece Plumbing Pace (1755 metres) conducted at Wagga Wagga on 16 May 2014.

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