Rockhampton jockey Nigel Seymour and trainer Kerrod Smyth have each been hit with disqualifications after they were caught in a betting scandal.
Queensland Racing Integrity Commission stewards this week concluded an inquiry into alleged bets placed on the then Smyth-trained race horse Lily Ofthe Glen, in a race at Rockhampton Jockey Club on December 18 last year.
After examining phone, banking and betting records, stewards found Seymour provided a cash payment of $200 to Smyth, who at the direction of the jockey, placed a win bet through the trainer’s TAB account.
Stewards were also able to ascertain that Seymour, through a third party, facilitated a $1000 bet on behalf of himself and Smyth.
