Stewards questioned licencee Mr Robert Walters’, concerned with evidence he had tendered at a previous licence inquiry.

Lui Trotta (pictured above) has won his appeal against a 14 month disqualification imposed on him for both publicly abusing his young driver Bernadette Page, and telling the starter who had conveyed to him a direction to attend the Stewards room that the Stewards “could go and get fucked”.
