Tommy Berry, a trainer, has been charged after recent South Wales Racing officials examined phone logs from one recent race meeting. The investigation focused on calls to jockey Johnathan O'Shea made on the day of that event.
The charges arise from evidence presented to Racing NSW that suggests a breach of racing integrity rules. Berry is alleged to have used the calls to influence race outcomes. He is set to appear before the racing tribunal later this month. The case follows a broader inquiry into phone contact between trainers and jockeys at race meetings across the state.
