Thoroughbred Stewards Inquiry Miss Emily Quartermaine
On Tuesday 25 September 2018, RWWA Stewards conducted an inquiry into the alleged posting of material on social media by licensed person Miss Emily Quartermaine and whether that constituted a breach of any rules of racing.
After considering the report of the RWWA Investigators, submissions from Miss Quartermaine and all other evidence presented, Stewards issued a charge under AR175 (q) with the particulars of the charge being that as a licensed person, Miss Quartermaine did in the opinion of the Stewards engage in misconduct, by posting on her Facebook page, which contains references to racing and racing related issues, material that was obscene and offensive.
Miss Quartermaine applied for and was granted an adjournment of two weeks to consider the matter and obtain legal advice with respect to the charge before entering a plea.
