Harness Stewards Inquiry – Trainer Mr Kevin Charles (IONA DIAMOND)
July 14, 2021
Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA) Stewards have been advised by the Chem Centre in Perth that arsenic, at a concentration in excess of the threshold of 0.30 ug/mL permitted within the Rules of Racing, has been detected in the sample taken from IONA DIAMOND (trained by Mr K Charles) after it had competed in and won Race 7 at Gloucester Park on 8 June 2021.
These findings have been verified by Racing Analytical Services Ltd (Vic).
Accordingly, the Stewards will inquire into these reports on Thursday, 22 July 2021, which Mr Charles has been directed to attend.
