The training partnership of Ciaron Maher and David Eustace has been approved to replace the disqualified Darren Weir at the Ballarat stabling complex formerly known as Forest Lodge.

Weir was on Wednesday disqualified for four years by the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board on charges of possessing three illegal electronic devices known as jiggers.

Racing Victoria says the transfer of horses from Weir to Maher and Eustace must remain on an individual basis by application of the owners and be approved by stewards.
