Crime by Mitch Cohen 20th May 2021 6:53 PM Jockey Serg Lisnyy has been disqualified for six months for committing an act of cruelty on a horse conditioned by prominent trainer Kim Waugh, who was slapped with more than $14,000 in fines for her role in the incident. The pair fronted a stewards inquiry on Thursday afternoon to answer a string of animal cruelty charges stemming from a trackwork incident in March this year. Both parties were charged over Lisnyy s use of spurs on maiden galloper Tarsus which resulted in the horse sustaining injuries that led to a significant number of lacerations .
