Dunns appeal penalty
Robert and John Dunn have lodged an appeal with the Judicial Control Authority against the $14,000 fine they received late last month.
Robert Dunn confirmed today that he and his son will seek a review of the fine amount after the prosecuting Racing Integrity Unit only submitted for a $4,000 fine.
The Dunns were charged over four swabs from three horses in their care that showed the presence of caffeine, all four swabs coming from race-winners.
All four winners were disqualified after the Dunns pled guilty to charges of presenting them to race not free of a prohibited substance.
Moody to appear at Harness Jewels
One of the more colour characters in Australian racing will be a guest at the Harness Jewels in Cambridge June 2.
Peter Moody, former trainer of champion mare Black Caviar, will be a guest speaker at a function on Jewels eve and will also bring his unique brand of humour to the social media activity on the day.
“I love horses and I’m really looking forward to getting to Cambridge and seeing the great horses and great participants and having a bloody good time.” said Moody, who has been involved in broadcasting in Australia since retiring from training in 2016.
Cambridge Raceway Chief Executive Dave Branch said he was excited to have Moody on board.
“Peter Moody is a legend in the racing industry who will bring a fresh perspective and an Australian flavour to Harness Jewels 2018.”
