02 November 2016 – Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) Stewards have issued charges against Mr Peter Muir under Australian Harness Racing Rules (AHRR) 241, 243 and 187(2) in relation to the purchase of an unnamed (at the time) filly.
It is alleged that Mr Muir entered into an agreement to act as a ‘buyer’s agent’ in the process of this transaction, however failed to act on that agreement when provided with the funds to complete the sale.
It is further alleged that Mr Muir retained those funds for a period of time after the sale had fallen through and subsequently provided false evidence to the HRV Stewards when questioned about the location of the money.
These charges will be heard by the HRV Racing Appeals and Disciplinary (RAD) Board on a date to be fixed.
