News Summary:

Racing Victoria (RV) is set to host its second Off The Track Carnival at Boneo Park on September 8, 2026, showcasing thoroughbred versatility with former Group 1 stars and international horses in what is described as Victoria's largest and richest equestrian event dedicated to thoroughbreds. This follows a communication on August 26, 2026, where RV Chair Tim Eddy informed the Moonee Valley Racing Club (MVRC) that the Cox Plate's 2027 return was not guaranteed without a race-ready grandstand, highlighting a dispute over the club's signature Group 1 event. Previously, on August 24, 2026, RV Stewards confirmed a prohibited substance in a pre-race blood sample from the Grahame Begg-trained horse Shades of Pink. Earlier, on August 13, 2026, MVRC addressed "unfounded misinformation" regarding its $250 million redevelopment, as RV sought assurances about racing's return to The Valley. On August 12, 2026, RV Stewards concluded inquiries into four charges against Mr Ben Woodsford, who pleaded guilty to all, including training horses without a license.
