Disgraced trainer Darren Weir has been handed a further two-year disqualification for the use of a jigger on three racehorses in 2018.
Disgraced trainer Darren Weir has been handed a further two-year disqualification for using an electronic shock device on three horses.
The tribunal will determine at a later date whether the penalties can be backdated, despite initially saying they were effective immediately. Weir and McLean were fined $36,000 each, and Kermond ordered to make a $10,000 donation to the RSPCA by the Warrnambool Magistrates’ Court in December 2022 after pleading guilty to animal abuse charges for using jiggers on the horses.
“The bottom line is he was the person in charge of the horse, the stables and the situation, he was the boss, he was the hands-on person who actually committed these serious offences,” Bowman said.
