Ben Currie given the okay to train for now
RACING: The Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) has granted Toowoomba trainer Ben Currie a stay of proceedings until the Internal Review decision in relation to the Stewards direction is finalised.
QCAT denied Currie an interim stay on Wednesday last week after the stay of proceedings hearing was adjourned until last Friday.
QRIC Commissioner Ross Barnett said the outcome was the decision of the independent umpire and Currie was now free to resume training until five days after he received the Internal Review decision.
"Mr Currie lodged an Internal Review application earlier this week (last week) and the Internal Reviewer has twenty business days to consider it,” he said.
"The QRIC Stewards Inquiry where Mr Currie faces 31 breaches of the Australian Rules of Racing was adjourned at his request on Monday, May 28 for him to prepare his defence and is expected to resume later this month.”
