Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW) advises that the NSW Racing Appeals Tribunal has ruled on the appeal of registered attendant Ms Susan Absalom against penalties imposed by GRNSW stewards for breaches of Gar 14 (6) and Gar 86 (f) (iii) following an incident after the Richmond meeting on 7 May 2014. Ms Absalom had pleaded not guilty to the charges following an inquiry on 17 June 2014.
Ms Absalom appealed against the penalties imposed on her of a four month disqualification on each charge. The appeal hearing was conducted on 14 November 2014.
Upon an amended plea on the charge under Gar 14 (6) the tribunal altered the period of disqualification to a suspension of six weeks. The appeal on the charge under Gar 86 (f) (iii) was upheld on technical grounds.
The tribunal ruled that Ms Absalom’s appeal deposit be refunded in full.
