Thoroughbred – stewards’ inquiry – trainer Brock Lewthwaite
Racing and Wagering Western Australia stewards have been advised by the Chem Centre in Perth that Testosterone and Boldenone were detected in the sample taken from Star Present (trained by Mr B Lewthwaite) following it competing in and winning Race 4 at Ascot on 9 April 2022.
These findings have been verified by Racing Analytical Services Ltd (Vic).
Accordingly, the stewards will hold an inquiry into these reports on Friday 8 July 2022, which Mr Lewthwaite has been directed to attend.
In view of these reports, pursuant to Rules AR248 and LR22, Star Present is not permitted to compete in any race or trial until the conclusion of the inquiry.
