Trainer pleads to move back home after lying about having a ‘leak’ and copping a three-year ban
Of all the excuses, veteran trainer John Leek jnr claimed he had pulled over in quiet street in a small country town and stepped into his trailing horse float for a leak.
But when Racing Victoria stewards opened the door to the float, he wasn’t emptying his bladder.
Instead, they caught the 72-year-old horseman attempting to stomach tube his racehorse – a drenching practise that is banned on race day under the rules of racing because it is considered performance enhancing.
That seemingly innocuous roadside stop in Terang on a crisp winter afternoon in July last year, as Leek was taking his horse The Storyteller to the Warrnambool races, has cost him his training licence for the next three years. He was disqualified by the Victorian Racing Tribunal last month.
