Miller Case Continues
- Tuesday, 06 October 2009 12:45
Miller faced RWWA stewards yesterday afternoon where more evidence was taken before the inquiry was adjourned once again.
No charges have been laid at this stage.
The inquiry was adjourned for a date to be fixed but the Virtual Formguide believes that date will be sometime next week.
Miller remains stood down from riding in all races and trials until the next hearing which means replacement riders will be required for his rides at Belmont later today.
The drama unfolded at Belmont on Saturday following the running of Race 4, the Guinness 250 Anniversary 0 - 74 Handicap (1650m) where Miller rode runner-up from the Adam Durrant stable Le Plunge and stewards took possession of Miller's whip after inspecting all riders whips.
Stewards took possession of Miller's whip after foreign matter was located inside the padded section of his whip. That object is believed to be lead weights elaborately sown into the padding.
Following the last race, stewards took evidence from Miller, his mother (trainer Sharon Miller) and trainer Neville Parnham's stable foreman who had won the race in question with Bridgestone.
