- Tuesday, 18 May 2010 08:50
Racing Victoria Limited (RVL) stewards today resumed an inquiry into a report from Queensland Racing (QR) stewards regarding a bleeding attack suffered by the three-year-old filly Elviine prior to her sale in December 2009.
The inquiry was opened by RVL stewards on 11 May, 2010 where evidence was taken from Tony Vasil, the licensed trainer of Elviine prior to her sale, regarding the circumstances surrounding the bleeding attack.
Upon its resumption today, stewards took further evidence from Mr Vasil and evidence from his veterinary surgeon, Dr Michael Tweedie.
Following the evidence tendered, stewards determined that Elviine bled from both nostrils at Caulfield on 1 December, 2009 and would now suffer the disabilities under AR53A.
Mr Vasil was found guilty of a charge under AR8(e) in that he, as the trainer of Elviine, failed to fulfil his obligations under AR53A(2) to inform the stewards that Elviine bled from both nostrils.
Mr Vasil was fined the sum of $1500.
