Victoria Police has dismissed one of the central recommendations made in a report on race-fixing by Victoria's Racing Integrity Commissioner.

Deputy Commissioner Graham Ashton said the report's call for the return of the police racing squad couldn't be justified and seemed to be at odds with the findings of integrity commissioner Sal Perna.

Ashton pointed to Perna's assertion - in the same report - that race-fixing is "not a systemic issue" in Victoria as a good reason for police resources to remain as they are.

"A stand-alone squad, at this stage, is probably not warranted," Ashton said on Wednesday.

The call for the re-establishment of the police racing squad is one of 11 recommendations Perna made in his report released on Wednesday into race-fixing.

He also called for greater investigative powers for his office and for legislation to allow information to be shared between police and racing authorities.

The Perna inquiry stems from information police uncovered during their investigation into the murder of Sydney racing identity Les Samba in Melbourne in February 2011.

Police linked a race run at Cranbourne in April 2011 to the murder, claiming evidence suggested the race was fixed.

No criminal charges have been laid in connection with that race, or any other.
