Tommy Berry, one trainer, has been charged after recent South Wales Racing officials examined phone logs from a recent race meeting. The investigation focused on calls to jockey Johnathan O'Shea made on the day of that event.
The charges arise from evidence presented to Racing NSW that suggests a breach of racing integrity rules. Berry is alleged to have used the calls to influence race outcomes. He will appear before the racing tribunal later this month. The case follows a broader inquiry into phone contact between trainers and jockeys at race meetings across the state.
