Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 22, 2023 Journalists Share Posted November 22, 2023 Queensland Racing Integrity Commission (QRIC) stewards today concluded an inquiry into allegations concerning licensed thoroughbred trainer, Mr Christopher Munce. The stewards’ inquiry considered allegations in connection with CCTV footage obtained from the Eagle Farm stable complex of Mr Munce on October 2, 2020. The Racing Integrity Act 2016 requires QRIC to maintain public confidence in the racing of animals in Queensland and to ensure the integrity of all those involved with racing. Chief Thoroughbred Steward Josh Adams said under the Australian Rules of Racing, stewards have a responsibility to investigate, inquire into, hear and determine matters relating to the conduct of licensed individuals. “The stewards have thoroughly evaluated the strength of the evidence in relation to this matter,” he said. It was acknowledged, with the passage of time, that the recollection of stable staff about matters pertinent to the allegations was now limited. Mr Adams said having given careful and thorough consideration to all relevant evidence, submissions and other matters raised by Mr Munce throughout the investigation and the inquiry, the stewards have subsequently determined to conclude this matter and will not pursue the allegations further.
