At an Inquiry held in Port Elizabeth on 18 January 2018, Trainer Ms Y Bremner was charged with a contravention of Rule 73.2.4.
Yvette Bremner – fined
This arose in that she was the person responsible for the horse SILVA KEY which ran in and won the 8th race at Fairview Racecourse on 15 September 2017, after which a urine specimen taken from this horse, disclosed upon analysis, the presence of Procaine, which is a prohibited substance in terms of the Rules of The National Horseracing Authority.
Ms Y Bremner pleaded guilty to the charge.
The Board found Trainer Y Bremner guilty as charged and imposed a penalty of R23 000 of which R8 000 is wholly suspended for a period of 12 months provided that she is not found guilty of a contravention of the rules relating to prohibited substances during that period.
Furthermore in terms of rule 72.3.2 SILVA KEY is disqualified from the 8th race run at Fairview Racecourse on 15 September 2017 and the provisions of rule 67.7.8 shall apply mutatis mutandis.
