Lucy Wadham's complaint over 'totally unprofessional' valets referred to BHA

Trainer Lucy Wadham lodged a complaint to the BHA's stewards at Fontwell on Tuesday, it has emerged, after valets who gave evidence at the Robbie Dunne disciplinary hearing last week allegedly refused to work for Bryony Frost at the meeting.

Frost had two rides at Fontwell, both on horses trained by Wadham, and the trainer reported the valets to the raceday stewards, describing their actions to the Racing Post on Wednesday as "totally unprofessional".

Having received a complaint from Wadham, the Fontwell stewards discussed the issue, recorded explanations from the parties concerned and referred it to the BHA's head office for further consideration.
