MUM’S THE WORD AS RV PROBES ALLEGED SURROGATE SCANDAL

By Matt Stewart, Racing Editor
A potential surrogate scandal that may result in a challenge to the bona fides of one of our finest racehorses, comes eight years after the courts tossed out a bid to legalise
artificial insemination (AI) in thoroughbreds.
While the circumstances might be quite different, the potentially explosive
Racing Victoria probe and the case involving former leviathan bookmaker and breeder
Bruce McHugh have a common theme; the ethics of tampering with the natural breeding process.
RV is responding to documents presented by a witness who claims to have evidence of the use of illegal surrogates. The evidence is believed to relate to both a former champion racemare and the mother of a current champion. If proven, the allegations could have a bearing on the eligibility of the champion to compete.
