Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Aggravating factors that may be considered in determining any penalty include, but are not limited to, the following: • prior breaches of the AHRR; • impact on the racing horse; • lack of remorse; • lack of response to any prior warnings issued specifically to the individual, or to widespread notices or educational material issued […]
For some strange reason South Australian harness racing fans have bestowed trainer/driver Luke O’Neill with the nickname The Juice. It’s unfortunate, because all juices are made from pressed fruit, and life didn’t turn out real good for the last chap who bore the moniker. Anyone can see why they called OJ Simpson the juice, but […]
The Kentucky Equine Drug Research Council unanimously advanced the reclassification of levamisole as a Class B substance. Their recommendation, which needs approval from the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, would put it in line with those of the Association of Racing Commissioners International and submitted-for-approval rules of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority. Class B drugs have […]
Dear Archie Re your recent stories about Kerry Ann Morris and Jack Trainor. Levamisole is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and metabolized in the liver. Its time to peak plasma concentration is 1.5–2 hours. The plasma elimination half-life is fairly quick at 3–4 hours which can contribute to not detecting levamisole intoxication. The metabolite […]
You got the wrong Sam son. The Doc from Rangiora looks heaps straighter, but is a whole lot more bent. Jason Grimson has been going very well over the past couple of years hasn’t he? It’s all in the feed some people want to tell you. They are wrong. The feed helps, and the supplements […]
It has been a whisper for some time now that Murchison based northern Victorian trot trainer Greg Fleming is a bowler for prominent harness racing identity David Moran, the controversial former trainer and driver of the champion Lochinvar Art. The numbers certainly give rise and weight to the suspicion. In the decade from season 2011/12 […]
Archie I don’t know Hulbert, but he is either a trouble maker or a dill. Excess calcium in the intestines from horses on high calcium diets such as those fed large amounts of lucerne is excreted via urine as calcium carbonate. The white residue in the stall after the water content of the urine has […]
Who is Will Hulbert talking about in this social media post? Is it a trainer from the Downs whose name rhymes with the surnames of murdered Melbourne underworld identities Jason, Lewis, Mark and Desmond? Why is Hulbert making these sly insinuations? What does he know? Questions, questions everywhere, and not a drop of bicarb to […]
Levamisole is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and metabolized in the liver. Its time to peak plasma concentration is 1.5–2 hours. The plasma elimination half-life is fairly quick at 3–4 hours which can contribute to not detecting levamisole intoxication. The metabolite half-life is 16 hours. Levamisole’s excretion is primarily through the kidneys, with about […]
Where I come from, if there’s a buck to be made, you don’t ask questions, you go ahead and make it. Learn your lines … plant your feet … look the other actor in the eye … say the words … mean them. Once a song and dance man, always a song and dance man. […]
