A Trainer's Fall: Cheating and Consequences in Thoroughbred Racing The recent tribunal decision to ban John Leek, a veteran trainer, from racing for three years has sent shockwaves through the Victorian thoroughbred racing community.

Andrea Leek is a trainer in her own right, who built her Nar Nar Goon North training base from scratch. She has cultivated a reputation for integrity fostered by years of hard work and dedication.
