MEDIA RELEASE
Thoroughbred – Update Stewards Inquiry – Trainer Shane Edwards
Further to the RWWA Stewards media release of 18 February 2013 in relation to the export to Singapore, transfer of ownership and bonafides of these activities in relation to a number of horses formerly trained by Mr Shane Edwards the Stewards advise as follows.
Following an interview conducted with Mr Shane Edwards in Kuala Lumpur on 22 February 2013, and further investigations, a report and documentary evidence was issued to Stewards by RWWA Principal Investigator Mr. P O’Reilly.
Accordingly the Stewards are now opening an inquiry into the report of RWWA Principal Investigator in relation to the export of horses from Western Australia to Singapore by trainer Mr Shane Edwards between 2008 and 2013.
An inquiry date of 13 May 2013 has been tentatively scheduled pending confirmation by Mr Edwards as to his attendance.
In view of the seriousness and extent of the matter and from the aspect of the image and welfare of the industry, the Stewards have invoked the provisions of Local Rule 10 and have directed that Mr Edwards trainer’s licence be suspended forthwith pending the outcome of the inquiry or until otherwise directed by the Stewards. Further that no horses owned or part-owned be permitted to start in an event. Accordingly the clearance of his licence has been revoked and the relevant Principal Racing Authorities have been advised in relation to this direction.

Whatever, it looks like he knew this was coming, and so did the people around him. From Feb to now is a fair time to get your stuff sorted if you know the type of questions and information the stewards have..

·RWWA stewards will hear an argument from Shane Edwards' legal counsel today to persuade them to lift a suspension of the trainer's licence.
The Selangor Racing stewards agreed to an application from Edwards to let him continue to train at Kuala Lumpur on Saturday until stewards here made their decision on today's application.
RWWA stewards banned Edwards last month following an investigation into allegations he illegally exported horses to Singapore and Malaysia from 2008 to 2013.

I think one of two options:
option #3 obviously doesn't appeal to them
ie address the issue.
