I wonder whether the stewards confirmed that the 2 horses are actually pine post chewers - IT IS A MAJOR THING TO HAVE AN INTER PLACE-GETTER DISQUALIFIED
Was the horse observed? If not it is a VERY light penalty
Put her in an observation paddock with some nice tasty posts. Put me in a chocolate factory and I would be a goner

1995 Interdom pacing Grand Final.....(Golden Reign)
Long after all visitors had returned to their homes came the shock announcement that second and third placegetters had returned positive swabs. This latest drama would be a long drawn out process taking months to hold inquiries and to sort through the repercussions of it all. In the finish other horses were elevated to placings in the Inter Dominion Grand Final, months after its conclusion.

I guess you need the stewards film
They didn't have a problem with the fav getting knocked down in R2 at Kilmore on Monday
But Joanne Justice got 10 weeks for similar interference in R5

Did anything ever come of this? As far as I can recall don't remember any outcome being publicised. Or is it just sweep it under the carpet and hope people forget.

VIC - The Boss Man - Late Scratching
01 December 2018
The Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) Stewards advise that The Boss Man was scratched from its engagement in Race 4 at tonight’s Tabcorp Park Melton meeting, a heat of the Trotters Inter Dominion Championship under the provisions of Australian Harness Racing Rule 193(5).
Naomi Malone has also been scratched from Race 9 this evening by Order of the Stewards.
The scratching relates to a raceday stable inspection being performed this afternoon and concerns held that The Boss Man had either been stomach tubed or attempted to be stomach tubed.
Stewards further held concerns that Noami Malone may also have been treated in breach of the rules.
An investigation remains ongoing into this matter and no further comment will be made at this time.

Well, they managed to give David Vozlic 2yrs, someone's suggestion of 20yrs would not have been inappropriate if we were ruthlessly pursuing a clean industry
