Trainer Currie Banned Two Years

Mark Currie, father of trainer Ben Currie, has been banned from training for two years after being found guilty of 16 charges related to raceday treatments, according to Racing.com. The charges related to activities of the elder Currie at the Toowoomba stables of his son on Mar. 24 and Apr. 7. Three others persons connected to Ben Currie have been banned in recent weeks.

“While it is more than six weeks since the ongoing investigation began into suspicious activity at the Currie Racing stables in Toowoomba, it is expected to be sometime before it is concluded,” Queensland Racing Integrity Commissioner Ross Barnett said.
