First time ive had this but stewards fined me $2000 for an improved performance of my horse from the last race. Only problem was in the last race I completely by accident but my 1m2f horse into a 6F race and didn't realise. He finished 8th. When I raced him at his distance again he won.

Where is the appeal button?

Bloody hell scobie, if you get caught in victoria drink driving you wouldn't get a hefty fine of that manner, what in gods name did you do to upset the chief stipendry to that extent hahaha

To be honest i think if you did this in the league you would be fined too, not 100% but if you ran a horse over 6f then over 1m 2f and it won would defo be a stewards at least
