Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
What’s the most common form of cheating – tubing – you don’t have to be a genius to figure out that tubing a horse will give it a huge advantage. If horses are not pre-race tested, how do we find out what’s going on, if it (TC02) is burned off in a race? – Robert […]
Administration of injections to horses within one clear day of the race A notice of 4 August 2023 required Ben Yole, and a notice of 7 August 2023 required Tim Yole, to answer an allegation that between 1 April 2020 and 1 April 2023, without the permission of stewards, Ben Yole administered and caused to […]
Illavabubbles was a relatively ordinary performed mare that had won 7 races from 42 starts in New Zealand and QLD, and had run a fastest winning time of 1.56.3 on the fast track at Albion Park (record 1.49.2) before it was sent down south to get the magic from Jason Grimson. That means that the […]
Horses swabbed pre-race TOO MUCH CLASS, NOAH ‘N’ A DEEL, SO DAPPER, ESSONNE (NZ), HOLLYWOOD NORTH, RENOUF. Horses swabbed post-race All winners, JETTY. There were 10 races at the Sunshine Coast yesterday, but only 6 runners were pre-race swabbed and just 1 horse outside of the winners post-race tested. Compare that to Randwick’s 10 […]
