Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) Stewards have submitted an application to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) on 2 June 2017 for a review of the penalty decision of the HRV Racing Appeals and Disciplinary (RAD) Board on 24 May 2017 in relation to a charge issued against licensed trainer-driver Alison Chisholm.
Mrs Chisholm pleaded guilty to a charge issued under Australian Harness Racing Rule 190(1) for presenting the horse ‘Jimmy The Editor NZ’ to race at Tabcorp Park Melton on 16 April 2016 when not free of cobalt, a prohibited substance when present at a concentration of greater than 200µg/L (as it was then). Mrs Chisholm was issued with a 12-month suspension of her trainers licence in relation to that charge.
The matter will be listed for a VCAT Directions Hearing at a date to be fixed.
