An interesting one for the National Horseracing Authority?
Aussie trainer Mitchell Beer has been fined following a tweet offering to promote shares in a racehorse without holding the relevant licence.
It was reported on www.punters.com.au that Racing Victoria stewards ruled his conduct, or negligence, could have led to a breach of an Australian racing rule.
The rule states that any person wishing to make an offer to promote shares in a racehorse, or racehorses, must hold an Australian Financial Services Licence issued by the Australian Securities Commission.
The matter relates to a tweet in which Beer offered to promote shares in a Hallowed Crown x Evening Glitter colt. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined A$1500.
