Racing NSW
Racing NSW Stewards on Wednesday continued an inquiry into the reasons for Apprentice Peter Wells, rider of third placegetter, Penrickson, returning to scale 1 kilogram below his allotted weight, which resulted in Penrickson being disqualified from this event.
Evidence today was taken from licensed trainer Mr Graeme Rogerson, stable foreperson Ms E. McMahon, Apprentice Peter Wells, Clerk of Scales Mr Liam Prior and Hawkesbury Race Club's official starter, Mr B. Evans.
A charge under AR143(b) was issued against Apprentice Wells in that, after failing to verify his weight at scale when weighing out for this event, he then returned to scale 1 kilogram below his allotted weight of 59.5 kilograms.
The inquiry was adjourned to a date to be fixed to allow Mr Rogerson, who represented App. Peter Wells at this inquiry, to seek further advice in relation to the charge.
