Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) Stewards have issued a charge against licensed trainer Tony Peacock 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 Mr Peacock presented ‘Illawong Kellie’ to race at St Arnaud on 20 November 2022 when not free of arsenic, a prohibited substance when evidenced at a concentration above the allowable threshold.
The charge will be heard by the Victorian Racing Tribunal (VRT) on a date to be fixed.
