Scales sabotage shocks Queanbeyan race meet outcome
At Queanbeyan race day an old type set of scales was sabotaged with a modified weight tray and a hidden cap. Clerk of Scales Mr Land reported the scale tampering to chief steward Mr Will, affecting overweight declarations and betting outcomes. No surveys were conducted. 24 riders rode at correct weight while many others appeared overweight. The incident underscores steward responsibility for weight rulings and scale integrity at country courses.
