Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
In this video below jailed US vet and supplier of illicit performance enhancing drugs to cheats Seth Fishman tells a trainer how to blood dope their horses with BB3, a synthetic blood builder that doesn’t swab. Fishman tell the trainer that BB3 is about artificially boosting the number of red blood cells to increase its […]
You may notice the name C. McGuigan in the ownership of many of the N40 horses trained by Michael Brennan. Catherine McGuigan is Brennan’s wife and mother of his kids. She is also a struck-off drug-using equine vet. Strange sort of person to have living at a registered training address and owning horses isn’t it? […]

The Brisbane Winter carnival is over, and the swabs seem to have gone on vacation. Only 8 runners on yesterday’s 9 race card at Doomben were pre-race swabbed, two of them in the same race. No horse was pre-race tested in races 3 or 8. Not one of Tony Gollan’s seven runners copped one. None […]
How utterly odd it is that none of Grant Dixon’s three runners in the Rising Sun got pre-race swabbed. Five of the twelve starters had samples taken from them, but not one of his. Two of the five three-year old’s in the race were tested but none of them were Dixon’s. I guess he is […]

Tuapeka Lou is its name and it having its 2nd start for Jason Grimson after coming to him from Brad Hewitt. It never ran faster than 1.55 for Hewitt, win lose or draw. At its first start for the […]
Adin Holt was a champion apprentice whose career came to a screaming halt (pardon the pun) due to weight issues. Put simply, he got too heavy. He still is, but he has managed to get his weight down enough to ride again. Sadly it now appears that he has been able to by taking phentermine, […]
The New Zealand racing rules provide that the Racing Integrity Board can order a licensee who is convicted of a rule breach to pay its (the RIB’s) costs incurred in prosecuting them. Imagine that in a democracy. Paying the police to prosecute you. It sounds like Nazi Germany. Of course the more you protest your […]
NSW harness racing trainers Peter Hanson and Dylan Xerri have had their licenses suspended after their horses threw positive swabs to the drug Xylometazoline after winning races in the past few few months. It is believed to be the first time that an Australian horse recorded a positive to the drug. Xylometazoline is the active […]
If you might remember we broke this story before the Stewards had even realised that Jack Brown had substituted a urine sample provided to him secretly by Lucas Rando and claimed that it was his own. And HRNSW won’t even answer emails that we send to them asking questions about important matters. How odd. You’d […]
