Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) Stewards have issued a charge against licensed trainer Trish McVeigh under Australian Harness Racing Rule (AHRR) 190(1) which states:
A horse shall be presented for a race free of prohibited substances
It is alleged that Ms McVeigh presented the horse ‘Angus Bromac NZ’ to race at Maryborough on 30 April 2018 not free of arsenic, a prohibited substance when evidenced at a concentration above the allowable threshold.
Ms McVeigh has also been issued with a charge for failing to keep and maintain a log book in accordance with the AHRR.
The charges will be heard by the HRV Racing Appeals and Disciplinary (RAD) Board on a date to be fixed.
