Two other top drivers, who the Herald understands have been spoken to by police – Blair Orange and John Dunn, are still scheduled on the TAB's website to race at Addington on Friday night.
Today, the New Zealand Racing Board (NZRB), the organisation behind all racing in New Zealand, and the national tote, TAB, refused to say if refunds would be given to punters if races were proven to have been fixed.
However, it confirmed that betting will continue on domestic harness race meets.
NZRB chair Glenda Hughes said while the race-fixing allegations are "disappointing", the police action shows that the racing integrity system is working.
Police inquiries came after information from the Racing Integrity Unit (RIU), an independent body charged with maintaining integrity in the sport.
"The value of having an independent integrity body focused on investigating and prosecuting any alleged impropriety is reinforced in this action," said Hughes.
NZRB chief executive John Allen said those involved in the industry, and Kiwi punters who support it, must have confidence in the integrity of the sport
"I am confident that our integrity systems work and that where alleged breaches of our rules and of criminal law are identified, they are investigated and prosecuted appropriately," he said.
NZRB refused to comment further while the matters are before the courts.
