Inquiries

Stewards have concluded an Inquiry into the circumstances that analysis of a post-race blood sample taken from the registered horse MASTER CARIBBEAN detected the presence of the substance, Tramadol. 

CHARGE - On Monday 31 January 2022 at Globe Derby Park in Race 8 you Tayla Warren did present the horse MASTER CARIBBEAN when not free of a prohibited substance, being in contravention of Rule 190(1).

Ms Warren pleaded guilty to the charge.

Having considered the Trainer’s submission on penalty and subjective matters, Stewards determined Ms Warren be disqualified for a period of six (6) months to commence immediately.  In arriving at the penalty Stewards acknowledged the Trainers previous good offence record and her general cooperation.
