RACING NSW stewards have found Hall of Fame trainer Gai Waterhouse guilty on two charges

RACING NSW stewards have found Hall of Fame trainer Gai Waterhouse guilty on two charges relating to the More Joyous saga, reports the Melbourne Herald Sun.

It says: Stewards have found Waterhouse guilty of both charges - failing to report More Joyous's condition and failing to keep proper records of the treatment given to the champion mare - prior to the Group 1 All Aged Stakes at Royal Randwick last month.

Stewards are now deciding on a penalty.

During the hearing, Waterhouse used the inquiry to launch a fresh attack on John Singleton, labelling him a ''crazed, crazy man''.

And she said the drawn-out inquiry had even the Queen of England wanting to know what was going on.

Giving evidence about More Joyous without Singleton - who was fined $15,000 a fortnight ago over his race-day outburst - in the room, Waterhouse said she couldn't think straight after the All Aged Stakes because of the verbal stoush with More Joyous's owner.

Waterhouse submitted a written statement today, which chief steward Ray Murrihy said provided a lot of new material.

For starters, Waterhouse claimed More Joyous was lame on the Tuesday prior to her fifth in the Queen Of The Turf Stakes.

There were other horses in her stable, including Queenstown, that hadn't been right in the lead-up to a race yet still won.

Waterhouse said the hard Randwick track and ''most disgraceful riding instructions'' from Singleton to jockey Nash Rawiller were two things against More Joyous. But she failed to relay that to stewards on the day because she was rattled.

Waterhouse then said: ''Every TV station, every newspaper in the whole world, even the Queen said to her racing manager, 'what's going on with Gai Waterhouse in Australia?', because things haven't been made clear,'' Waterhouse said.

''These (issues) haven't been touched upon until now. Its grossly unfair to try me before today.''

Waterhouse went on to say she'd been treated like a ''third grader'' and her family name ''dragged through the mud".

Earlier, Waterhouse's lawyer Malcolm Ramage presented 37 pages of submissions.

Racing NSW stewards charged the trainer over failing to report More Joyous's condition and failing to keep proper records of the treatment given to the champion mare prior to the All Aged Stakes.

She pleaded not guilty to both charges and has steadfastly maintained her innocence of any wrongdoing and intends to vigorously fight the two charges levelled against her.
