On 22 October 2021 Harness Racing New South Wales (HRNSW) Stewards, acting under the provisions of Australian Harness Racing Rule 183 (a), (c) & (d), suspended the Trainer’s licence of Mrs Stacie Elliott after receiving advice that Cobalt above the threshold of 100 micrograms per litre in urine had been detected in the urine samples taken from;
- CLASSIC ARC following its win in race 5, the HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY JORDAN MURPHY PACE (1609 metres) conducted at Newcastle on Friday 3 September 2021; and
- MAGIC SHOOS following its win in race 9, the TAB VENUE MODE PACE (1609 metres) conducted at Newcastle on Friday 3 September 2021
On that date, Mrs Elliott appealed against the decision of the HRNSW Stewards and applied for a Stay of the Steward’s decision.
On 25 October 2021, the NSW Racing Appeals Tribunal granted Mrs Elliott a Stay.
A date for the Inquiry has not been scheduled at this time.
