In December 2025, Racing NSW Officials attended the premises of licensed stablehand Mr Tony Zorzanello at Dalton Park Racecourse, Griffith. Upon arrival, Officials observed that the paddock in which five (5) Thoroughbred horses were housed was not maintained in accordance with the Minimum Standards & Guidelines of Equine Welfare.

On 17 December 2025 and again on 13 February 2026, Officials conducted follow-up inspections at properties in Griffith. During the inspection on 13 February 2026, Officials examined the Thoroughbred gelding Reviews.

The gelding was observed lying on its side and experienced difficulty rising to its feet. Upon standing, Reviews was assessed as 4/5 lame in the off foreleg and displayed obvious signs of discomfort when in motion.

Noticeable swelling was present throughout the off forelimb, extending from the fetlock through the cannon bone and into the lower region of the knee. When stationary, the gelding was reluctant to bear weight on the affected limb.
