Qld trainer to face NSW cobalt inquiry

Gold Coast trainer Kent Fleming will front Racing NSW stewards over an elevated cobalt level detected in a horse he brought to the state to win at Ballina.

A sample taken from Pitbull before he won on December 26 and tested by two laboratories has been found to contain levels above the 100mcg/L threshold.

Stewards will hold an inquiry in Sydney on a date to be fixed.
