Australian horse trainer Darren Weir has been found not guilty of attempting to corrupt the outcome of races, including the 2018 Melbourne Cup.
Weir was charged with the use of a jigger - an illegal battery-powered shock device - on three race horses at his Warrnambool stables in 2018.
He and co-accused Jarrod Mclean and Tyson Kermond had pleaded guilty to historic animal cruelty and welfare charges, but denied charges relating to dishonest and corrupt conduct.
McLean and Kermond were also found not guilty of the three corruption charges.
Weir has already served a four-year ban relating to the possession of a jigger device.
