A Cairns apprentice jockey was stood down this morning at trackwork after a Queensland Racing Integrity Commission (QRIC) Stewards no notice testing operation.

The female apprentice was breath tested along with 10 other jockeys and trackwork riders when she recorded an alcohol reading over the prescribed limit of .02.

The female apprentice will remain stood down pending a Stewards Inquiry in Cairns on Sunday.
