A former professional punter has been banned from racetracks for 10 years following a betting scandal involving a jockey. He placed bets on behalf of a jockey and won over $172,000. Charges are pending against the involved jockeys.
A former professional punter, Noah Brash, has been warned off racetracks for 10 years by the Victorian Racing Tribunal for betting on behalf of a jockey. Brash pleaded guilty to five charges under the Rules of Racing and was found to have bet more than $172,000 on two separate race days at the request of a jockey, winning money as a result.
The tribunal heard that Brash operated separate Betfair accounts for himself and jockey Michael Poy, and won more than $350,000 between April 2022 and August 2022 when placing bets involving horses ridden by Poy or his friend, fellow jockey Lewis German. The bets included laying horses to lose, backing a horse to win, head-to-head bets, and picking horses to run in the top four. Brash and Poy communicated using borrowed phones, aliases, different SIM cards and sent messages over the Signal app. Charges against Poy and German are expected to be heard by the Victorian Racing Tribunal next year
