Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA) stewards have been advised by ChemCentre in Perth that dexamethasone has been detected in the urine sample taken from Cheeky Charlotte following it competing in, and winning, Race 4 at Belmont on 14 February 2024.
Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid therapeutic prescription animal remedy.
These findings have been verified by Racing Analytical Services Limited, Victoria.
Accordingly, stewards will inquire into these reports on Thursday, 11 July 2024, which Mr Fernie has been directed to attend.
