Racing Queensland acknowledges the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission inquiry and decision in relation to Alligator Blood and the Magic Millions Guineas.
It also recognises the right of appeal process available in relation to the decision.
Accordingly, Racing Queensland will reserve the distribution of prize money until such time that the connections have elected whether to exercise their appeal rights, and any appeal process has been finalised.
This aligns with Racing Queensland’s established practice of the withholding of payment of prizemoney pending swab clearance for races with prize money in excess of $75,000.
Racing Queensland has not yet distributed any first place prize money for the Magic Millions Guineas.
