 Leading female rider Michelle Payne will face a stewards' enquiry after contravening the rules of racing in regards to sauna use on raceday.
Payne was hauled into the stewards room when it was discovered she was using the on course sauna in the female jockey's room as she attempted to lose weight at Sale today. During an initial inquiry, chaired by steward Neville Laskey, Payne confessed to using the sauna without permission and for longer than the permitted time. Payne was stood down from her remaining rides in the later races and those trainers were forced to find replacement riders. The inquiry into why Payne used the sauna without permission, the proper documentation and for a period longer than allowed was adjourned to a date to be fixed. PIC - Quentin Lang.
