A suspect arrested for the attack on racehorses at Fairview Racecourse training centre in Port Elizabeth last week has been released on bail.

Port Elizabeth police spokesperson, Colonel Priscilla Naidu, said the 49-year-old, who was arrested shortly after the incident, appeared in the St Albans Magistrate’s Court yesterday on charges of public violence and malicious injury to property. Naidu said the case was adjourned to October 26.

Mike de Haast from the International Racing Club, who is one of the horse owners directly affected by the protest, said two horses were in a critical condition, four were badly injured and five were recovering.“Most have had quite a bit of colic, all related to the stress and the trauma of what happened,” he said.

However, De Haast said they were not sure what was wrong with her leg after X-rays revealed there were no broken bones. Bremner and her partner, Hedley McGrath, who is also a leading owner, announced that they were leaving racing at the weekend.Inspector Carla Hazel from the Horse Care Unit said they were still uncertain if the horses that were in a more serious condition would survive.
