Victoria report calls for integrity in racing codes


A report into by the Racing Integrity Commissioner into a Ballarat Pacing Cup race has led to the recommendation that an independent body take over responsibility for all Victoria's racing codes.

Racing Integrity Commissioner Sal Perna's report into the late scratching of six out of 10 horses in a 2014 race calls for an independent integrity body to be established, according to the Australian Associated Press.

Racing Minister Martin Pakula says he believes Victorian racing needs a modern governance structure that avoids conflicts of interest.

"However, I will await the findings of Mr Perna's investigation into the greyhound industry, as well as Racing Victoria's investigations into the use of cobalt, before making a judgment about the integrity structures of all three codes," Pakula was quoted by the AAP as saying.
