An inquiry into the raceday treatment of a Melbourne Cup runner trained by Gai Waterhouse has been adjourned.
Waterhouse was asked to front the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board on Friday to answer charges over the use of an antibiotic cream on Tres Blue in Tuesday's race.
But a Racing Victoria tweet said the RAD Board panel had accepted an application from Waterhouse's legal team to have the hearing adjourned.
The inquiry will be now be held next Friday at 10.30am (AEDT).
Tres Blue was allowed to run in the Melbourne Cup because stewards were satisfied the cream was a legal substance.
The former French stayer finished second last as stablemate Fiorente went on to win the race and give Waterhouse her first Melbourne Cup success.
Because of the adjournment, a hearing involving Dunaden's trainer Mikel Delzangles has been brought forward on Friday.
Delzangles will appear over charges Dunaden received an ulcer treatment on the morning of the Melbourne Cup.
The 2011 Melbourne Cup winner, Dunaden ran 11th on Tuesday.
