Up to 12 witnesses will be called when an
independent inquiry begins tomorrow into the
conduct of stewards involved in the abandoned
Richard Laming race-day treatment case.
Racing Integrity Commissioner Sean Carroll will conduct a closed hearing into the behaviour of
stewards Mark Stevens and
Melbourne Cup day in 2019, when the pair observed alleged illegal
race-day treatment at the
Laming stables at Cranbourne.
The Carroll inquiry will also explore the conduct of the stewards during the abandoned Laming hearing before the
Victorian Racing Tribunal in February this year.
