Darren Weir set to learn fate over animal cruelty charges

Former trainer Darren Weir is set to face the Victorian Racing Tribunal on Monday to receive his sentence for animal cruelty charges.

The 2015 Melbourne Cup-winning trainer had pleaded guilty last March to using an electronic shock device – known as a jigger – on three racehorses under his care at Warrnambool in October 2018.

The penalty hearing is scheduled to begin at 10 am in Melbourne.

Weir previously served a four-year disqualification, which ended in February 2023, for possessing the illegal devices.
