Armstrong trainer Aaron Brown will be the subject of an inquiry into the reasons of an elevated TCO2 reading of one of his horses at the Ararat meeting in mid-June.
The horse in question is Jayares Lad, who infact won the Westvic Race Pix Pacers Handicap on June 16.
Jayares Lad, a five year-old by Exotic Earl, raced again at Mildura on June 27 and finished seventh as the $2.80 second elect. His run was subsequently queried by stewards.
The inquiry will be heard on Monday.
It brought about her demise in her Vicbred Super Series semi final and Ananz will again have the outside front row barrier to contend with in tonight's $100,000 Group 1 final at Moonee Valley.
Just like last week, when she suffered the first defeat of her brief but spectacular career when outsprinted by Ay Tee Em, the Peter Manning-trained star will sport number seven in tonight's SEW-Eurodrive-sponsored two-year-old fillies final.
While the daughter of Aces N Sevens will come in one horse if emergency As It Is In Heaven (barrier three) doesn't run, she will still be the widest horse off the front line in the event to be run at 9.42pm.
If the wide draw wasn't bad enough for Ananz fans, two of her biggest rivals will start closer to the pegs than her.
Kerryn Manning was deflated when Ananz suffered her maiden defeat last Friday night, but for the first time in the superstar two-year-old's career her regular driver will head to the races tonight hoping she gets beaten.
Manning might have driven Ananz in the majority of her 14 starts, but she'll be in the cart of a rival horse when the Vicbred Super Series 2YO Fillies Final is run at Moonee Valley.
The 31-year-old has ever-improving Falcon Seelster filly Sterita engaged in the $100,000 Group one event. Under Australian harness racing rules, trainer-drivers can't pilot another horse in a race in which a horse they train is engaged, meaning Manning has had to forfeit the drive on Ananz.
It has been confirmed by Australia's Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr Andy Carroll, that Australia is officially free of equine influenza.
``After six months of rigorous testing and surveillance, Australia has fully eradicated equine influenza from our horse population,'' he said.
``No new cases of the disease have been found since the last infection on December 25, 2007.
``Comprehensive monitoring has taken place not only in NSW and Queensland, but also in Australia's non-infected states and territories.''
Dr Carroll said since December 25, 2007 close to 24,000 premises in NSW and Queensland had been examined through surveillance activities including lab testing and clinical examinations. More than 78,000 individual lab tests had been performed.
