Ben Currie to face District Court trial

Queensland trainer Ben Currie has been committed to stand trial on fraud charges.

Disqualified trainer Ben Currie is set to face a trial on fraud charges later this year.

Currie, 28, was in the Toowoomba Magistrates Court for a hand-up committal hearing on Monday.

He is facing charges of fraud dating from November 2016 to March last year alleging he used an unregulated horse supplement designed to enhance race performance.
