Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Well we were spot on with our mail regarding horses in the care of prominent Cairns trainers having returned positive swabs to arsenic, and with our tip that they were going to escape penalty on a contamination defense. So far Alwyn Bailey and the training combo of Trevor and Peter Rowe have been done, with […]
Archie, I know you are on top of this one. But I am perplexed somewhat…. How does it take nearly 12 months to hear these inquiries? Who conducted the soil testing? Was it tested by an accredited lab and an analysis report available? Were any other horses trained by these trainers and stabled at the […]
This bloke Scott Robinson was one of the crooked suppliers of performance enhancing drugs to trainers in both codes who was targeted by the FBI investigation a couple of years ago that saw dozens go to jail. He was one of them. Obviously Robinson learned nothing from his spell inside. He was straight back into […]
The word on the street is that the racing lab may have found traces of something a lot more explosive than saline in the tubes of the drips seized from Emma Stewart that lead to her presently stayed 6 month disqualification. Something much more explosive indeed. If the mail is correct, this is going to […]
Morning Archie If Qld racing follows through with the QRIC’s plan for only 1 vet and 1 swabbie it will often be the case where not even all the winners are able to be swabbed. There is only a small window of time from collecting the winner, hosing them down, feeding them a drink of […]
The Commission is committed to the development of improved detection methods for substances that may be used for doping purposes. The QRIC substance control strategy aims to identify areas where the use of prohibited substances is a risk to the racing industry. The way the Commission tests racing animals and when, relies on intelligence and […]
As you see from the Stewards Report above, only 6 horses out of the 10 races at Doomben yesterday were pre-race swabbed, and only the winners tested after the race, making it 16 in all that gave a sample. The Stipes report always details the swab attendants and vets working at the meeting, almost without […]
Kiwi trackwork rider Robert Harris has a long and potted history of drug abuse, similar to that of a large number of glass pipe jockeys addicted to meth or Ice or P, as the evil illicit substance is commonly known in New Zealand. Harris was still serving a long disqualification for his second personal positive […]
I take metformin to treat my type 2 diabetes. It would be as simple as hell to contaminate a horse if I had one here, and I wouldn’t even know. How it could improve the horse’s performance is a bit of a mystery. Here like in America it would cost me a poultice to find […]
Horses swabbed pre-race LUVARCHIE, UNCOMMON VALOUR, CLYDE, CAPTAIN FENKEL, BRAD, REDWOOD SHADOW. The QRIC’s inane and insane non-pre race blood test swabbing regime continued at Eagle Farm yesterday, with samples take before the race from only 6 runners on the 9 race card. Isn’t that grand? Is the Commissioner for real believing that this is […]
