Trainer Mr John O’Shea has this morning informed Racing NSW Stewards that Benaud, which was being aimed at The Metropolitan, will not be declared as an acceptor in this race. Mr O’Shea has informed Stewards that Benaud was inadvertently treated with a medication this morning containing a prohibited substance and therefore is unable to compete in the event.
Wagering Operators are requested to remove Benaud from the betting markets for The Metropolitan.
