After writing to you yesterday about Victorian trainer Robbie Walters’ application for a Trainer A license in Tasmania, I wanted to provide an update following some comments made in the Tasmanian Parliament by Racing Minister Jane Howlett.
As already advised, the Tasmanian Minister for Racing wrote to the Director of Racing about the matter, and Mr Walters’ race nominations, urging the Director to take urgent action under powers available to him.
The Minister told Parliament today that the Director of Racing had advised her that Mr Walters would not be eligible to participate in harness meetings scheduled for 14 June and 16 June.
The Director also advised that an interview panel will convene next week to determine Mr Walters’ licence application.
Tasracing will continue to update you on the issue as new details emerge.
