Prominent Australian horse trainer Darren Weir will begin his latest ban from all racing next week and will not be seen again until after the 2026 spring carnival for using an electronic shock device on his horses. The Victorian Racing Tribunal announced on Monday that the 2015 Melbourne Cup winner would serve another two years without attending a racetrack or making any direct or indirect financial gain from the industry.
footage capturing the offending was played in Warrnambool Magistrates Court on Wednesday afternoon. Magistrate Franz Holzer said the men should have known better and should be shamed for their abhorrent animal cruelty, but did not impose convictions. “They’ll be shunned within the racing and animal fraternity for a range of probably very proper reasons,” he said.
