Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Another positive to cocaine in Toowoomba and this time it’s the right hand man of the most incredibly improved trainer in the country Corey Geran. Cameron Creevey is regarded as family by Corey Geran as recently posted on Facebook for Creevey’s birthday. Creevey is Gerans top dog trackwork rider, stablehand, strapper and reading between the […]
What’s behind this recent spate of positive swabs to the sheep drench that metabolises into a stimulant Levamisole? Why are so many horses throwing positive swabs to the stuff? It’s unknown to the authorities, because they are not demanding to know and no-one is telling. It seems unlikely that trainers are giving it to their […]
Young trainer Cameron Ross seemed to have been terribly harshly treated when he copped a 17 month disqualification after one of his horses threw a positive swab to Dexamethasone, an anti-inflammatory drug. Ross was a first offender, and stuffed up by nebulising his charge with Dexapent – a drug containing the substance – within the […]
Horses swabbed pre-race: LOST IN TRANSIT, CUSACK, EAGLES CRAG, KING FRANKEL, BONNY EZRA, MILITARY GAMBLER. There were 1o races at Eagle Farm yesterday, yet only 6 horses were pre-race swabbed. Only the winners were post-race swabbed. Why? What sort of circus is it when so few swabs are taken at a Saturday metropolitan meeting? It […]
Repeat Pat was a 5YO in hitherto fine fettle until 3 weeks ago. And then it died. On the training track. The official story is that it drowned in the pool. Only the person telling that tale and the Wizard’s apprentice in Christchurch square believe it. Why is that so many seemingly healthy horses from […]
The Commission’s Intel strategy, which uses intelligence data to crack down on wrongdoing in the racing industry, was fruitful in several cases this year, including when our RSC found evidence of a new substance being abused in greyhounds after using new information to target high-risk substances. When wastewater in a particular region was found to […]
The veil of silence over the Emma Stewart stable’s admission that it administered a substance of some sort to two horses on the day of the Vicbred Super Series is deafening. The actions of the HRV Stewards is baffling, leaving a myriad of troubling unanswered questions. What the hell is going on here? How do […]
There are rumours swirling Victoria that a leading harness racing trainer from the north of the state may soon be in the news for a positive swab that might cause him a few problems. The trainer, a multiple Group 1 winner, is said to have thrown the positive with one of his horses to Levamisole, […]
The New Jersey Racing Commission has issued a 395-day suspension and $3,000 fine to harness racing trainer Brandon Mongiello after a “routine inspection” of his stabling area at the Crystal Brook Training Center, an off-track stabling facility licensed by and under the jurisdiction of the N.J.R.C., according to a ruling posted on the Association of Racing […]
NSW harness racing’s ridiculous pre-race swabbing regime continues apace. Just have a look at the pre-race blood tests conducted yesterday at Menangle yesterday and you will see what I mean. Fave means favourite. Swab means horse that was pre-race swabbed. The numbers are the starting price 0f the horse. Race 1 Fave $2.00 Swab $34.00 […]
