Darwin Cup Winner in Swab Shock
- Tuesday, 02 September 2008 00:00
The trainer of runaway Darwin Cup winner Club Liquid will front stewards on a positive swab charge after one of his recent winners returned an irregularity.
Officials have confirmed that Qudraat's sample after winning in Darwin on July 19 has shown an irregularity.
The seven-year-old's owner trainer Dick Leech will front stewards at an inquiry at a date to be fixed.
Qudraat, who kicked away his career in Melbourne with David Hayes, is a half brother to Caulfield and Melbourne Cup winner Ethereal.
Leech was the toast of the Northern Territory in early August when his gelding Club Liquid scored a remarkable 13 length win in the Darwin Cup.
