Racing NSW stewards charge O’Shea over Rosehill incident

Racing NSW stewards have issued three charges against leading trainer John O’Shea following an inquiry into his alleged conduct after the scratching of a stable runner from a race at Rosehill in February.

An inquiry was opened on Monday and relates to events that occurred after Bev’s Nine was withdrawn from the Queen Bee Project Sprint on February 21.

Without outlining details, stewards said the charges concern O’Shea’s alleged conduct towards Racing NSW veterinarians.

The matter has been adjourned, with the charges to be heard at a date to be fixed.

Bev’s Nine subsequently won at Canterbury six days later to continue a purple patch of form for O’Shea and his training partner Tom Charlton.
