Vic trainers to know their fate on Monday

Two Victorian horse trainers will find out on Monday if they face disqualification over elevated cobalt readings in some of their horses.

Father and son pair Lee and Shannon Hope pleaded guilty to six charges of inadvertently administering a prohibited substance but are fighting doping charges after three of their horses returned cobalt levels above the threshold of 200 micrograms per litre of urine.

They deny they deliberately administered cobalt to affect the horses' performances.

The Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board has reserved its decision until Monday.
