Race caller pleads guilty to defrauding the Commonwealth

The majority of claims, made on behalf of himself and others, were worth between $20,000-$50,000.
For more than 20 years Fuller, who is based in Coffs Harbour, covered meetings in Grafton, Taree and Lismore for Sky Racing.
He resigned in September when he was charged with 30 counts of obtain financial advantage by deception, nine counts of producing false or misleading documents, five counts of defrauding the Commonwealth and two further counts of attempting to obtain financial advantage by deception.
He will be sentenced in Sydney's Downing District Court on December 11.
