The trainer that was in-charge of “Darius Bale” was known to be Mrs. Kylie Hunt. Supposedly, “Darius Bale” was to be presented for its engagement in Race 7 at the Shepparton GRC meeting Monday, 13th of October 2008. Mrs. K. Hunt failed to present “Darius Bale” to the said engagement. This happening eventually led to an inquiry by stewards last Monday, 17th of November 2008.

During the inquiry, stewards heard evidence from Mrs. K. Hunt and tabled a Transcript of Evidence. Then after considering all evidence tabled, stewards decided to charge Mrs. K. Hunt in violation of GAR86(o) of the Greyhounds Australasia Rules in that as the Trainer of “Darius Bale” she negligently failed to ensure that the greyhound was presented for its engagement in Race 7 at the Shepparton GRC meeting Monday, 13th of October 2008.

Mrs. K. Hunt didn’t deny anything and pleaded guilty to the charge. GRV Stewards found Mrs. K. Hunt guilty to the charge against her and so oblige her to give out $150 as fine.

In the course of inquiry, it was discovered that Mrs. K. Hunt is a partner of Peter Hunt who was also a subject of several inquiries few months ago due to same issue, not presenting greyhounds to race. Same kennel was being run by Mrs. K. Hunt and Peter Hunt.

The kennel is now racing just under Mrs. Hunt’s name as Peter Hunt received a three month disqualification for refusing to attend two separate inquiries in to failing to produce greyhounds.

Thus, because of these things, it is strongly suggested that GRV Stewards need to look more closely at the present arrangements, where trainers who are suspended or disqualified can simply transfer the greyhounds or kennel to their wife’s or partner’s name. Better yet, GRV Stewards must try now considering stricter rules relating to transfer of greyhounds or kennels due to suspension or disqualification.
