The Stewards acting under MRA Rule 21(1)(b) opened an inquiry on 25 May 2018 into Ms Anna Scott’s allegation lodged on 12 March 2018.
Ms Anna Scott’s allegation was that an MRA Notification of Fine (NOF) form had been forged and that she had not been advised of a fine with respect to “ALL WEALTH” returning positive to a prohibitive substance Boldernone, at the conclusion of an inquiry held on 6 October 2016.
The inquiries scheduled on 25 May and 6 July were adjourned as Ms Anna Scott declined to attend. Subsequently, the adjourned inquiries into the matter were held in her absence on 27 July 2018 at PNTC and 5 October 2018 at SLTC.

The Stewards were also satisfied that the NOF had not been forged and concluded that there was no evidence supporting the allegation made by Ms Anna Scott.
Furthermore, the Stewards were satisfied that Ms Anna Scott knew of the imposition of the “ALL WEALTH” fine at the conclusion of the inquiry on 6 October 2016, and at the subsequent Appeal to the Racing Stewards on 17 July 2017 and via MRA’s reminder notices of 17 November 2016, 6 December 2016 and 9 February 2018 and this inquiry was concluded.
