Can you believe that this little snail produces the venom that works many times better as a nerve blocker and painkiller than morphine does, and when synthesized and structurally altered was until recently swab proof? All the chemists needed to do was alter 1 or 2 of these cells in the block chain and Bob […]
Tasmanian harness racing trainer Wayne Yole – the 72 year old father of the warned off Ben Yole – has had an average of just under 19 runners a season over the past 5 years, with his most starters in any single year being 43. Our current 2024 season is less than 8 weeks old, […]
At 6 out of 1o the past ten TAB gallops meetings in QLD there have been six horses pre-race swabbed. The most samples taken were 7, which was only once at Rockhampton, which makes sense because milkshake drenching has long been rife amidst the trainers at the track by the Fitzroy River.

The horse’s name is Outside Fighter. a seven-year-old gelding who has raced 145 times over six seasons for just 12 wins, and […]
We told you in a story published on this site that there would be further twists and turns in the Emma Stewart race day treatment saga, and if the talk on everyone’s lips at the Karaka sale is any indication, the trot world now seems to have caught up with what I was cryptically telling […]
Carisbrook trot trainer Paul Watson may not be thinking it right now, but he must have been kissed by a fairy. In late December 2022 one of Watson’s horses threw a positive swab to Cobalt after winning a race at Maryborough, and then the next month the Stewards performed a surprise visit at Watson’s stable […]
